    Jacket Hangers

    I have to say I had to have a second look at your post, 'Pool Noodles' haha. Never heard them called that but then we are a million miles across the oceans. Yes mate they do look like pipe lagging :) I've been using that since time began, I even thought I invented it haha. Much cheaper than...

    The Legendary DURABLE (Wild One) Jacket

    So So no one will really ever know. Same with the famous Great Escape A2 as worn by Steve McQueen. I guess no one has ever really seen that, or have they?

    The Legendary DURABLE (Wild One) Jacket

    Hi. Back in the UK 1980s, The Wild One got a bit of a re release in many specialist cinemas, particularly The Scala near Kings Cross where I saw this film for the first time. Next thing was a lot of cheap leather companies were producing copy's of this jacket. Some Good, some Bad, some plain...

    Aero jacket in new Freddy Mercury film?

    Ah yes, what did it look like? A so quick glimpse of a label, almost in silhouette of the actor playing Freddie. Go on get down to your local Odeon and watch the trailers haha. By the time of Live aid I think Aero were probably well established, probably in Scotland by this time and maybe Ken...

    Aero jacket in new Freddy Mercury film?

    Right then sharp eyes :) Did anyone spot an Aero jacket in the cinema preview of Bohemian Rhapsody? Not sure I did but it looked like an Aero label during a 'Live Aid' segment of the preview. I won't say where exactly so you can get to the flicks and see it on there, as it's not in the Youtube...

    The Background

    I do look at backgrounds, but being a rather non judgmental person I never comment on that. What I have noticed is that when posters try to show themselves doing something natural when it is obviously a photo shoot, i.e Walking along a path, they never look at the camera but somehow these...

    First Aero Premier Highwayman leather jacket advice? + interior pockets

    Could you not simply get the maker to put in a chest pocket or would this detract from a 'worn in' look? Cheers, J.

    First Aero Premier Highwayman leather jacket advice? + interior pockets

    I like the small leather tab, but usually take mine off for something to dangle, just a small dangler. Mine usually consist of something small but useful. At the moment my Highwayman has two Spanish Civil war era centre hole coins on a 30mm ball chain.

    ODDBALL's Jacket from Kelly's Heroes?

    As this film was more of an 'Action Comedy' I guess the props department took a fair few liberties on Odd Ball's dress. There was no real need to look just right and in those days did anyone really care. It was the action scenes everyone wanted to see and not truly authentic uniforms hence a...

    How does top stitching factor into your jacket decisions, if at all?

    One of those things that pleases the eye. If it looks good I may buy it if it looks bad or overdone I'd probably pass. I have seen repro's of classic jackets that are stitch perfect but the leather is of poor grade or appearance(Highwayman, A2s, G1s etc). Also quality leather garments ruined by...

    Andrew Swat (Irvin Guru on here) usually jumps on questions like these. He must be on holiday.

    Vintage sports clothing, where to show.

    So is this (Outerwear) the best page to post items of vintage sports wear from the 'Golden era'? Outerwear is pretty obvious to those looking at leather jackets, overcoats etc but where can you show things such as 30s baseball or American football items as they are worn outside but not classed...

    Vintage sports clothing, where to show.

    I'm posting here as I cannot find any sub headings, maybe I have simply passed over a page so apologies if I have. I have a Wilsons baseball jersey from the 50s 60s era and would like some info on it please. Not being the greatest sports clothing specialist I wondered if there is a page...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Western action films have a good showing of bar room brawls where no one breaks their bones falling from hights and the hand eye coordination using a revolver is incredible, especially Franco Nero's Django, killing multi enemies with his broken hands. I try too look at it all as entertainment...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Not seen this version though I have seen the version made in 1942 by the Korda brothers starring Sabu, the worlds first real Bollywood star ;) Disney's version is probably more well known unless you, like most of the loungabouts are familiar with older films. Since CGI was invented I have lost...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Lift to the scaffold. Original French title, Ascenseur pour l'échafaud Louis Malle's first film. Sort of French New Wave Film Noir crime of passion. A great story with a great twist at the end, and a superb Miles Davis soundtrack. See Paris as it was in the late 50s, like any city it looks...

    Tartan lining service life?

    I would put this down to body shape and how the jacket sits in your hip area. All my jackets have wear in this area it usually comes from having the jacket done up, probably walking around where belts and belt loops are pretty close to those areas. My Eastman Luftwaffe(original design but no...
