    Who makes the best chinos

    Hi Edward, Top right hand corner on the Pike Bros site pages in ‘shop’ gives the option of English Language and then below products there should be info about weight & fit etc. https://www.pikebrothers.com/en/Shop-Online/Pants/Cloth/ They have recently upgraded the site which seems to work...

    USAF N-3B parkas - Let's talk about them!!

    The Alpha N-3B that hasn’t worked out for me is an old made in USA version, there is virtually no interlining which means it’s no good even in moderately cold weather & lack of insulation gives a lack of shape.

    USAF N-3B parkas - Let's talk about them!!

    I’m trying to shift a lightweight N-3B on eBay at the moment from the 90’s Alpha stable, civilian fashion issue. I find it neither warm nor stylish, have ended up wearing my early service issue N-2B with good textiles & heavy (wool/ cotton) insulation. I had an N-3A once & that was decent but...

    How cold can you still ride a motorcycle in a Schott 740N peacoat?

    Interesting..thanks, will look into that. My ‘Border’ is & is top notch. Initially I purchased a ‘Border’ from a vendor in their sale & it leaked (think it was very old stock). Rang Barbour about it & they sent me a new one which appears a slightly later model & doesn’t leak.

    How cold can you still ride a motorcycle in a Schott 740N peacoat?

    Just got a new waxed Barbour, no funny smells & doesn’t feel sticky. Mines a ‘Border’ for walks with the hound. Quality & customer service have been so good from Barbour that I’m considering an ‘International’ for the Scooter.

    Thedi HH Break-In: 4 Month Update

    I used the wet method with HH & whilst a small improvement in space was gained in my experience with an ELC A-2 it wasn’t close to going up a size which I did eventually. I’d basically ordered one size too small. What I now use the wet method for is the shaping & contouring to my body shape

    Thedi HH Break-In: 4 Month Update

    I’ve used the wet jacket method to help break in on ‘snug’ leather & allowed it to dry on me. Has helped and appeared to gain a little space. Also helps to mould the jacket to your contours.

    WARNING! New member "akeating73" likely a scam

    Looked up Steam Card scams on Google, appears its very common scam currency & difficult to police. Cards are apparently very easy to sell on to the likes of gamers. https://prestmit.com/blog/top-5-steam-gift-card-scams-and-how-avoid-them/

    Questions about purchasing Aero Leather b-3 Jacket

    I would love a B3 but living in the UK cant justify a buy that May only get worn a few days a year. Solved my issue by getting the thinner fleeced D-1 that can earn its keep. I had an Irvin type but sold that as it didn’t get much use being too warm for me. I do however run quite hot…
