    m65 identification

    Time for some tags from jackets I've seen in the past on eBay. I'll post these in separate posts so they don't get mixed up. On some old jackets the cloth tags clearly shrunk during (repeated) cleaning and were even resewn back on. Some tags weren't sewn on but were stamped directly onto the lining.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Last evening I watched the 2021 film The Last Son. It's a gritty Western, extremely well photographed, which looks like it was actually filmed during winter. It probably should have been a 12 episode mini-series, given how many interesting characters are in it, since the film's running time...

    ALL ORIGINAL Irvin RAF type Jackets - Loving that Wolf in sheeps' clothing!

    ^ I find it hard to believe (and a bit depressing) that I'm the most recent person to post in this thread two full years ago. Anyway, there's some charming pics of McCartney with child:

    Nomex Flyer jacket

    ^ That jacket is a US Army aviator's jacket, not USAF. The condition is amazing for the age (1976), what a lucky find!

    Hangers... Do you hang your leather jackets on them?

    I recently got some of these hangers as part of a random jumble pack of used hangers. They're not super rigid like wood, but they have thick shoulders and support well my heavy trench coats and whatnot. Being made of one piece of shaped plastic you can clean them easily. They come in different...

    Show Us Your OVERCOATS

    The red (Life Guards) and blue (Blues & Royals) greatcoats are unwearable for anything other than riding a horse since they're unwieldly in terms of fit, and weigh a couple of tons. Amazing to own, if you can get one in good condition (some have been slashed, sadly), and nice to pull out a...

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Here's a useful guide to sewing on buttons with "backer" buttons to make them more secure. The host uses what appears to a be a genuine USN peacoat as the test subject. She says she sews the threads in an X pattern; for what it's worth, on my Burberry and similar outerwear the buttons are sewn...

    Show Us Your OVERCOATS

    I'm glad you didn't get a slashed coat. I understand why they do it, but it's frustrating. Regarding the buttons, on my coat they're Guards buttons and are removable being are held on by pins on the inside which you simply unhook and the buttons pop off. I had for a short while one of the...

    Show Us Your OVERCOATS

    I've got one of those and yeah it's a beastie. Mine is a bit snug now around my midsection, for some unknown reason. I got lucky and got one that was slashed by a supply sergeant (which most have been) but only under one of the shoulder straps so it doesn't affect the appearance or wearability...
