    Some like it hot-I don't...

    In between 15-20 degrees Celsius I use a denim and L-2 jackets. Denim is my favorite clothing material so I don't miss other jackets. Anyway there's plenty of time the rest of the year to wear those. I just try to enjoy the summer. I am amazed that people from Northern hemisphere complain about...

    Lost World's is having a sale...

    Just received today the ordered jacket: LW B-2 in russet HH, size 42, repro brass talon. The jacket is amazing/impressive as usual for LW jackets. Thick hide, nice alpaca lining, huge collar (bit higher than b-3 covers my head almost completely). For sizing reference I wear the mil spec G-1...

    The great Italian leather jacket scam

    @Monitor nothing to apologize, really. About their way of living, as you say, they choose it. Which is fine for me as long as they don't bother the others. However when they start negatively affecting people by doing crimes to make a living, then we have a problem. I'm not sure how they behave...

    The great Italian leather jacket scam

    You are right, it was not very precise. I'll rephrase it: they have origins different than the Romanian people. Also they chose not to integrate, live according to their primitive traditions and "laws". That's why, still after several hundred years they are still a distinct population. They...

    The great Italian leather jacket scam

    Quite common this found ring/bracelet thing is run by Romanian gypsies(esp in Europe). Happened also to me and my parents in Paris, their gypsy accent French was amusing. However they are a minority, an ethnic group(gypsies) living in Romania. They are Romanian citizens(if they have the papers...

    Best (green, bio, fair priced) leather conditioner

    just my 2 cents Very interesting subject. I looked over the web some time ago, opinions vary. Then I tried to consider just scientific facts. Chemical stability: first animal and vegetable oils are not so chemically stable opposed to synthetic ones. This means that the former ones oxidize...

    Emergency Rain Jacket?

    I can wear any kind of jacket, even if it rains. When I wear a leather jacket and there's a likelihood of rain, I carry a light weight rain coat to put over my jacket. Especially if I wear a "hair on hide" jacket. I prefer this instead of umbrella as it doesn't keep my hands busy.

    N2A Flight Jacket XL (Vintage Nylon Porn)

    great jackets, congrats! I have a Knopf among my 4 N-2A jackets. As I prev said they are more rare hence desirable. However for me they are not that imposing as the sage green ones(N-2B). About the cleaning, I did a 30 deg cleaning (front load machine, color laundry detergent, delicate cycle)...

    Bill Kelso A1, Absolutely NEW, Size 42

    Interesting jacket. I'd pull the trigger. However I'm looking for sizes 42-44 (about 22-24 inches chest). Almost wherever I look just 38-40 and the huuuge sizes 46-50+ show up for sale (here, eBay...). Almost impossible to find my size. Either there are not much 42-44 wearers or they are the...

    Lost Worlds B2

    Fantastic jacket, congratulations. LW jackets are impressive - those heavy/flawless materials which are assembled near perfection. LW quality speaks by itself. Is like when you get in a higher class Merc/Bmw, feel the quality every inch. I already own a HH A-2, J-24 and AN-J 4. There are...

    PLEASE..I'm Begging..someone buy this before I do!

    Sorry for the off topic. eBay can be a strange place. You get into all kind of characters. I've been having my fair share of sellers like this. Some are busy with everyday life. Others think that a picture with a description like "I am 220, 6'2" and fits me fine" is more than enough. I usually...

    Great jacket, a pity is this large. Otherwise I'd pull the trigger.

    Overseas Jacket Purchase

    When using PayPal (outside eBay) always have the seller send an invoice(payment request) shortly describing what he's offering. This is preferable instead of sending them as gift. @Monitor - in principle, PayPal is available in Romania since at least 2009. I still use this account. Check...

    A-2 Knits advice PLEASE

    Perhaps you might want to check this guy's store: http://www.flightjacketknits.com/ (http://stores.ebay.com/flightjacketrestorationsupplies) I bought from him few sets for G1-s jackets, B-15 and nylon sage green ones. Substantial quality, accurate colors, price ok. From the thickness pov they...

    BK Black Friday special

    I guess I'll wait for an used one to pop up on eBay or classifieds. I already have 3 A-2 (LW hh, LW goat, Aero). I kind of got bored of them. The fact that is a different maker/contract, leather, trims does not warrant (to me) the whole ordering process (communication, eventual issues...)...

    Noble House Company, Ulm, Germany---Stay Away people! Scam alert!

    I prefer to go there in person, even if it's about 3 hours drive. I can try on the jacket and avoid potential issues.

    Wanted! Lost worlds d pocket

    Sorry, I am not willing to sell it. It is quite a special jacket that stands out even among the ones of top tier manufacturers. I would part with it only if some of my other "grails" would be available for an exchange. At least for me, the current used prices for LW are too low to make worth...
