    Good Wear-abouts

    You don’t make a final choice on the jacket type and size until right before John makes it. - Ian

    Good Wear-abouts

    That’s the thing, John is such a nice and upstanding guy that I cannot understand the communication breakdown. Again, from a distance, it’s perplexing. - Ian

    Show us your vintage home!

    As romantic of an idea it is to live in a 1920's home, particularly of that type, I can fully understand where you're coming from. Sometimes, it's just not worth it to deal with all of the associated issues that come with living in a home of that vintage (or living in your own home, at all, for...

    Nope. Seems quite reasonable. The situation is perplexing. - Ian

    AVI LTHR BRONCO A-2 Jacket Review & Pics

    I don’t understand why questioning AVI’s jacket making process is offensive. I’m sure that there are potential customers who are on the fence, if only for the reason they want to be sure that the jacket was tanned “safely” as they won’t be exposed to anything toxic if they were to purchase a...

    Good Wear-abouts

    I sent him an email about two or three weeks ago, regarding a zipper, with no reply. I'm a past customer who always had a fine relationship with him. I'm not sure there is any rhyme or reason to who is responded to and who isn't. However, my last purchase was in 2010. So... - Ian

    AVI LTHR BRONCO A-2 Jacket Review & Pics

    Brett, with all due respect, in what way is speculation unfair in this case? We have no choice but to continue speculating when all inquiries regarding this concern/topic, including your own inquiry, have gone unanswered. There may be nothing or there may be something to all of this. Morten or...

    My Chippewa Boots

    Those looks terrific! I wish I has a pair that looked like that. I wore Chippewa boots, for years, as Paramedic. They protected my feet well while looking good. Those boots saved my toes more times than I can count. - Ian

    The Fedora Lounge 4.0

    I went from an iPhone 5S last Tuesday to an iPhone 8, so I wasn’t sure the difference I was seeing didn’t have to do with that. Looks good! - Ian

    AVI LTHR BRONCO A-2 Jacket Review & Pics

    Frankly, though I believe the pattern seems true (fit wise), when I see the photos of the jackets, it seem to me that you get what you pay for. They look alright, but not great. I wouldn’t think they would or should cost more than just a few hundred dollars, USD. On top of that, the questions...

    AVI LTHR BRONCO A-2 Jacket Review & Pics

    I'd just like to add that I owned a Good Wear Bronco from the same contract as the AVI version. It fit trim in the chest, but the mid section was "roomy" and the shoulder's were slightly "baggy/saggy." So, what you guys are relaying about the AVI Bronco is true to my fit experience with the...

    So Here's What You've Done To Me

    It's scary, Thor. Right, who knows if it's all related. I'm sure it's a mix. Well, my transplant was due to a genetic disease called Cystic Fibrosis. I had the transplant when I was 19. I've done really well with it and even worked as a Paramedic and then got into medical administration. This...

    So Here's What You've Done To Me

    I required a double lung transplant 25 years ago. Because of that, I was talking, recently, with the doctors and staff at the Columbia Presbyterian lung transplant clinic where they told me that a significant part of their lung transplant population has become Ground Zero first responders along...

    Aero Lining: Which Most Durable?

    In general, cotton is very strong. I have cotton garments they are between 7 and 8 decades old that I still wear and wash (oh the horror). Granted, most of these garments were purchased in very good to mint condition a decade or so ago. So they haven’t been worn and laundered for 70 to 80 years...

    US Army Parka ID?

    If I had to guess, I'd bet that it's civilian. If you watch Westerns (movies and TV) from the 40s through the early 70s, these same coats are all over the place. None of us were adults shopping in Men's wear /stores/sections back then, but I bet if we were adult men in the 1930s and 40s, we'd...

    US Army Parka ID?

    I'd bet that it is not from WWII, much less the 1950s-1970s. If it is U.S. military, it's pre WWII. If so, I have no idea whether it's Army, Navy or Marines. My guess would be Navy as it's similar to the pea coat design of the era and close to the WWII era US Navy Transport Coat (that shell was...
