    Denim Jackets - New or Vintage

    I think it's an official reproduction from Levi's LVC or at least Levi's base in the USA. I've never seen an original with that type of white tag inside of it. The vintage jackets did come with a white "!00% cotton, care instructions, etc" tag on the inside collar area, which were also made from...

    My new B-15 by Pike Brothers

    Thanks for that heads up! I don't really have a complaint for them, but I need a new grosgrain/jungle cloth zipper pull for my PB USN deck zip. I hope that they can provide one. Just didn't know what the communication would be like via customer service. - Ian

    Like a Phoenix...Bill’s Old G-1

    It really is nice! I would have never guessed that it had previously been in such terrible condition. Yeomans effort. - Ian

    My new B-15 by Pike Brothers

    Sorry to hear that! Could you contact Pike Brothers directly? Does anyone know about their customer service? Maybe they could fix this for you with another XL. - Ian

    My new B-15 by Pike Brothers

    My Pike Bros US Navy Deck zip jacket fits beautifully through the torso, but the sleeves were about 2 1/2 inches too long. It's like they didn't account for the knit cuffs since that was the length of those. So, when it arrived, I had to take it to the tailor and have that issue addressed. It...

    What is your favorite aircraft of all time?

    The P-47 Thunderbolt because it was manufactured in my hometown of Evansville, Indiana. They were only manufactured in two locations; Evansville and Farmingdale, NY (on Long Island) at Republic Aviation. That Republic factory, in Evansville, became a Whirlpool factory after the war. My...

    Who makes the best N-1?

    You’re right. It seems the photographs that I looked at were from Freewheelers previous N-1 style jacket releases. The current releases looks like pretty faithful reproductions. - Ian

    Who makes the best N-1?

    Though Freewheelers turns out high quality jackets, their “N-1” is much much more N- 1ish than an N-1 reproduction. In my opinion, it doesn’t count as an N-1 reproduction. - Ian

    Who makes the best N-1?

    Both N-1 repros that I've owned have been Buzz, the standard and the heavy (close to an original) version. The quality of both is excellent. For me, the alpaca has never been an issue. The alpaca/wool lining on the Buzz "heavy" version is very close to what you find in/on original N-1 examples...

    Where to find an m-42 Talon zipper?

    Did you ever get it replaced, Joakim @wild_balls? Look forward to seeing it and the jacket! I bet it's awesome. I purchased the NOS black tape (dyed) Talon M-42 from MASH a few days ago. I want to replace the repro Talon M-42 on my Pike Bros on my US Navy zip deck jacket. - Ian

    My new life story and a word of warning

    You're very welcome, Mark! I'm quite happy to know that all worked out well. I know the pain of medical costs, but I think it was worth it for you. Additionally, I'm glad that my post/thread helped you or got you moving in the right direction to get a check-up and more. After many of the...

    WTB: NOS or near M-1951 field jacket liner, size small

    Bump - Ian

    Why are people often saying, that denim-jackets have to be worn open??

    What else would you wear with a demon jacket but jeans?? I get the Canadian tuxedo thing, but it's a bit OCD. I wear my vintage demon jackets while wearing jeans. Oh, the horror! - Ian

    WTB: NOS or near M-1951 field jacket liner, size small

    There is a surplus store online that sells NOS M-1951 liners in x-small and large. The rest are sold out or they never had them. - Ian

    WTB: NOS or near M-1951 field jacket liner, size small

    Wanted: A new old stock or near mint to excellent M-1951 field jacket liner, size small. I've had a NOS 1952 M-1951 field jacket since early last spring, but haven't had luck finding the liner. Nothing has popped up on eBay, so far. PM me if you have one that you want to sell. Thanks! - Ian

    Something new at Good Wear?

    That's not a bad price, at all. It's too bad that you have to wait as long for these jackets. Too bad several aren't made at a time in different sizes...kind of an off the rack production, but if you wanted a custom fit you could order one like you would one if his leather jackets. Maybe...

    Washing Unsanforized Jeans

    I don't know about this with jeans, but I've found that sanforized shirts still shrink a bit. - Ian
