    Imported "JUNK"

    I really hope this doesn't turn into those wacky far out rants that made me leave the VLJF.

    Imported "JUNK"

    I think ALOT of people here and around the world have this notion that all american made products are inferior. I am of the belief that inferior leadership leads to inferior products. For example look at Toyota and Nissan, most of their cars sold in america are made here and with the right...

    USN M421-A

    Buzz Ricksons made one a few years back and so did What Price Glory but both have sold out. I believe Real McCoy Japan might be making one still, if you can find it. http://www.realmccoys.co.jp/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=324...

    Knit Sweaters

    You would have to look on the japanese market for these types of sweaters and clothing. I have seen them making these before, but forget the links. Maybe some of the other forum members will have better memory.

    Now Forming! the Campaign Hat Corps

    I got the skinny from WPG that he will be making the most authentic and well made 1889 campaign hat on the market today. It will not be cheap though at about $315. But it is claimed to follow all the original specs right down to 4 oz spec weight and to be made from the best quality materials.

    Now Forming! the Campaign Hat Corps

    I am really interested in picking up a 1889 or span-am era repro campaign hat and was wondering who makes the best and most authentic version. I see that Dirty Bills, Eureka Arsenal and a place called River Junction all make a version so I need help deciding which one to buy? I really know...

    My "Open Road" 30s Jacket...

    I was the one who originally commissioned the "open road" jacket and need to clear somethings up about it. The original "open road" jacket was based on a jacket produced by The Few last year and would like to give them credit for it. I asked Magnoli Clothiers to produce it and asked them to...

    Mallory's Everest jacket: gussets out there today?

    I could not agree more with your assesment. On long several day hikes wool is just to heavy to carry and does not dry fast enough.Also if you are sleeping in a snow cave or in harsh cold weather wool just can't compare to a good down jacket in being lightweight and still keeping you warm. For...

    Mallory's Everest jacket: gussets out there today?

    I been on this forum for awhile and rarely post but I thought I might add my 2 cents on wool clothing when compared with synthetics. I have been an avid outdoorsmen for years now and have used everything from cotton to wool and alpaca to nylon and I must say that wool is a very good outdoor...

    Aero A-2 Alterations

    Thanks, glad to be here. Unfortunately I take a 40 long now which sort of a rare size and which is nearly impossible to find on ebay or any where. The last time I tried to sell the jacket on ebay it only went to about $200:( or so. Most likely due to the longer sleeve and body length...

    Aero A-2 Alterations

    I have a Aero A-2 I got several years ago and since then I lost weight and found that it does not fit me so well. It really has no wear, since I moved to a hot climate shortly after buying it, so I really hate to get rid of it. So what I am looking to do is get it altered in the waist area to...
