Vacuum bags and vintage clothing storage.
Thanks, maybe an option. I'm storing stuff to sell at events, but not that many events in a year.- rocketeer

Vacuum bags and vintage clothing storage.
I had ideas on storing a few pieces of 100% cotton vintage dresses and some other ladies clothing for sale in the future. The idea came to me to protect them from moth damage by sealing them in those vacuum bags but just sealing them un vacuumed. My questions are: Will the bags work and be...- rocketeer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
We do not have a dedicated TCM channel, usually go to Talking Pictures or Retro Movies(for mainly US stuff) plus lots of other channels showing old time films :)- rocketeer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Just watching: King Solomon's Mines, the 1937 British adventure film directed by Robert Stevenson on Talking Pictures TV, a UK vintage film sky channel. As it was on in the afternoon rather than the post 9pm watershed, all the native women in their natural surroundings have their naked breasts...- rocketeer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
I would think that well to do people in any country usually have staff keeping the place running, unlike 'Normal' day to day folks that go to work, come home, go out to an event in the evenings etc. Were it to be announce that the Queen of England was off on a cruise to Africa or Australia for...- rocketeer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Watched Assault on Precinct 13 on TV. Not really into these types of movies/films but the Name John Carpenter made it worth a look. Not the greatest quality, I don't know how they transmit like this, surely not videotape but it had the look of a tape in my home player but without the noise...- rocketeer

The Paintings of D.H.Lawrence.
An odd one this, I bought it as a present for a friend as he collects books but not art. Quite interesting paintings of nudes etc. My friend has a first edition of Lady Chatterley's Lover that his wife bought for him at an undisclosed astronomical price as a paper anniversary present Buying...- rocketeer

Which leather for Aero Barnstormer
Here's the best I can do. I've chopped off my head and feet so you can see the figure and details better, but the photo has started to pixilate(if that is correct) if enlarged any more. I'm 5'8 or 5'9 on a good day and fill it out with my eagerness for bangers and mash or fish and chips I'm...- rocketeer

BKS British Police jacket 1980s-90s?. (pic heavy)
It looks like there are two companies for some reason. This one http://www.bksclothing.com trades from the J&S outlets, no mention of anything bespoke or emergency services. These people make the so called Power Ranger stuff and all accessories etc. One of the tag lines is "Designed in the UK"...- rocketeer

BKS British Police jacket 1980s-90s?. (pic heavy)
Yes they do pop up but as being hand made to measure it's hard to find one that fits in the arms for me too. There is one on there at the moment at a great price but 4 ins too long in the arm department. Possibly not the same company, or changed management /designs at least as this is not...- rocketeer

BKS British Police jacket 1980s-90s?. (pic heavy)
Picked this up a few weeks back, a superb jacket used by the British motorcycle patrols. For summer wear I would think due to the vented leather. A heavy steer hide outer shell with fitted armour, the photo's tell the best story. This is a large size around 40-42,but they were all hand made...- rocketeer

Which leather for Aero Barnstormer
I have one in steer, had it around 15 years maybe more. Superb jacket, I often tuck the pocket flaps inside and loop the belt around the back. Not the greatest pics but taken on a low res camera or phone around 6 years ago.- rocketeer

I shall probably have a further go at reading Mein Kampf fully Lizzy, though I may get some funny looks from other rail passengers, though my copy is just a modern edition translated by Ralph Manheim. I also read a book titled Hooded Americanism to try to understand a little more of what the...- rocketeer

The treasure of ArtDeco - BMW R7 is coming back to life
I always wanted a Knucklehead but the prices are astronomical for orginals, next down would be a Hydra or Duo Glide. You don't see many modern Springers, a good look but would look better if someone repro's the soft horsehide bags without the modern stiff innards.My personal bikes are a modern...- rocketeer

Some books I have read recently: Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes By Robert Stevenson. Some people actually follow in his footsteps on this one. Guy Martin(the motorcyclist) Worms to catch.

The treasure of ArtDeco - BMW R7 is coming back to life
Personally I don't think there is a big enough market for true reproductions of any of these older styles. The Triumph Bonneville is probably the nearest looking and more expensive than the Royal Enfield, also the Euro type 4? emissions would be the killer as they no longer make carburettor...- rocketeer

Original A2s from eBay
The first jacket 332nd Bomb Squadron. There is not much history written on this or any or the others listed but basic stuff. For the price I would expect the full lot down to the crews aircraft serial number and how many rivets used to be honest. The back painting. This may indeed be original...- rocketeer
