    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    Easy, just wear it a lot doing ordinary things, don't abuse it but don't baby it either which a lot of people do. Hence so many high end jackets described as 'Hardly worn 10 year old jacket', 'Like new' etc appear on various sales sites :(

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    Thats a great site, stacks of things I would like but some of the pricing is wayyyyyyy off especially this 1990s made in Pakistan. Just who are they selling to, the Trendies? Looks a great shop to visit but there is no address :(...

    help ID flight jacket

    It may be rare but not that uncomon the amount we see pushed through eBay. I know collectors go crazy for good condition stuff, especially if in almost unworn condition but this looks like it has served it's owner well. Probably not that collectable unless it could be surface refinished though I...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    A link to a militaria seller on eBay. Nothing drastic but what an awful way to sell stuff that may have belonged to Hero's https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/US-WW2-44th-Infantry-Division-Dog-Tag-Chain-Ike-Uniform-Jacket-Sterling-CIB-Look/323079964600?hash=item4b391107b8:g:wEcAAOSwNmNah2Kp Check out...

    Lost Jacket - Tampa Int'l Airport

    My Mrs is always saying that:D:D:D. Yes sometimes it's my fault loosing the wallet and the phone but the sun glasses and readers. Well I really wanted to find them then ruin their holiday even if it meant the children had to miss out(The manager said they would be expelled from the hotel if I...

    Lost Jacket - Tampa Int'l Airport

    Its the kind of world we live in though. Find something people look on it as their gain. I lost my wallet, got wallet back empty from the police lost property, but they would not leave their name, driving licence in there £80 gone, iPhone left on train, not returned either probably because it...

    ALL REPRO R.A.F. Irvin type jackets

    Whatever the lack of historical accuracy this jacket has, or has not :) It is 100 times a better looking jacket than Aviation Leathercraft produce

    New Aero Jean Jacket 557XX Type III

    I remember when Avirex started producing all those distressed non authentic A2s and G1s and college jackets, eventually they disappeared in the late 1980s. All the ex Avirex stores in London then started to stock some very similar stuff, especially the non military leathers with fancy patches...

    Show us your Stingy Brims

    Thanks :) The wife has relatives living in Germany so we always have a mini holiday there. This year it was Christmas in Baden Baden. I love these old villages, towns and cities around Germany. Yes some places are expensive but then what city's aren't, they are all tourist traps. I do love the...

    'Godless' Whiteys Leather Jacket

    Love the Mariachi jackets, but not being Mexican or of Rudolf Valentinoesqe looks I don't think they would suit me. This is the best though as I didn't notice the jacket till way later;)

    Burned on Ebay

    I guess you can now order a book or magazine(new, but especially secondhand, have a bit of time to read it then send it back if the feature is not quite what you are after. Brilliant :) errrrr Not really

    Burned on Ebay

    Yes it's going nowhere. How about the original poster divulging what action he is going to take to finish it off ;)

    Burned on Ebay

    I would get my revenge somehow. I have had someone cancel their bid within the hr, the excuses are terrible and so obviously made up in an instant such as "My Little boy hit the touch screen on my iPad". Possible but highly coincidental with a 20 second to go auction. Bay also says "You are...

    Burned on Ebay

    That is pathetic. It means you can bid on a number of similar auction items and just pay for one that is the cheapest. I would suggest using the withdrawn bidders address to send them a whole heap of junk mail and and get them signed up for things they don't want:D:D:D

    Burned on Ebay

    Maybe had something with a hard edge in the pocket at some time such as a credit card. Had the damage been at the beginning of the sewing I would say a machinists fault but this appears to be midway. I have an original wartime jacket that has most of the stitching around the pocket still intact...

    Modern day Lewis Leathers quality issue.

    HI all, I thought I might like to highlight this issue from a guy selling on a lewis-leather-corsair-36r.92822 . No I'm not trying to promote his sale but looking at the nearly new jacket and the sellers photographs of the underarm stitching I would be most unhappy with this fault after such a...

    Goldtop England

    That was the style I was interested in and made the enquiry about the pocket, but to be honest that was back in September, the notes on the labelling are more recent and noted on their web page. I will say they are fairly trim but I am a sausage sandwich freak so not a trim figure for me haha. I...

    Goldtop England

    No mention of armour, but then I did not ask as I use an armoured shirt from Knox. I would think they are aiming at a better quality product than all those no name sellers that sell to the traditional bikers market. That is those of us not into the 'Power Ranger' stuff, more the retro scene of...

    Goldtop England

    Time to revive an old thread :) At the recent London Motorcycle show Gold Top had a stand selling most of their wares with a few notable items. The first is the discontinuation of the frontal brand logo. It appears they have listened and give what the customer want, and now give the option to...
