Leather jacket stitching fell off?
Looks purely cosmetic to me - doubt it'll ever be noticed in wear, or unless it's pointed out.- Edward

Aero Maxwell size 40, 42 and 44
It looks to me very much like the original 30s Slim Halfbelt, except with a button front.- Edward

I love the Fed IV!!
That bluegrass green is a thing of true beauty. I need to get me one of those; would love to pair that with a big, boxy early 50s-style two-piece suit.... -
I love the Fed IV!!
That jives with my experience. Bought my Campdraft Deluxe about twelve years ago, have had two MkIII & Two Mk IV Feds. FWIW, the difference between the Campdraft and the Fed crowns to my eye is about as marked as the difference between a MkIII & MkIV Fed, i.e. it's kinda there if you look for... -
What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Chanced across Rollerball (1975) on FreeVee last night. Remains a tremendous bit of cinema. One reason it hasn't dated badly is the use of classical music in the soundtrack (whereas the dreadful 2005 remake already sounds as dated as it is misconceived). The other big reason of course is that...- Edward

What Hat Are You Wearing, But Struggle to In Public
I remember my dad wearing one in a similar shape in the eighties, though I have no photos of it. His was white with a small, zipped pocket on the side; I seem to recall it came free with tokens from Flora margarine. No idea where it went, though I can't honestly say I'd try wearing it now. I do... -
What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Chanced across Spitfire over Berlin on Prime at the weekend. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13434866/ A seemingly low-budget, British film from 2020 I've never hard of anywhere else. It's the story of an RAF pilot who flies a crucial reconnaissance mission to Berlin and back in his unarmed...- Edward

SCHOTT 618 Belt Buckle Snap Install
The look doesn't bother me, but I can certainly get why it does some. In particular, though, it appeals to me as it takes the strain off the stitching on the belt loop by having the buckle weight hang against it when the jacket is worn open a lot.- Edward

How about that vintage western look
It's gorgeous, isn't it? I wish I could find the slippers in particular - never seen a pair like that before. They're not just boots cut down, but clearly actual house slippers, tooled up and styled like a boot.- Edward

What Hat Are You Wearing, But Struggle to In Public
Ah, yes.... I've seen more of these bucket hats around this last Summer - a lot of the kids seem to have embraced them as emblematic of the 1990s revivalist scene, though having been there at the time, my recollection is they died out very early on with the end of the 'baggy' scene around... -

How about that vintage western look
It does seem to have divided opinions among audiences. I preferred it over his other work, but that's a far from universal opinion I know.- Edward

How about that vintage western look
Some outstanding Western wear touches on display in Wes Anderson's Asteroid City. I particularly liked Ed Norton's costume, especially the house slippers done to look like cut-down cowboy boots. I would totally buy a pair of those if they were available. For some reason the server won't let me...- Edward

Homage watches?
Definitely a place for these homage type watches. I tend to say I could never afford a Rolex, but the truth is if I put my mind to it I could save the money across several years - it's just not worth it to me, and chances are even if I brought myself to spend that much on one watch, I'd then...- Edward

The 80s, myth and reality?
Of course it reflects the normal practice in that regard - but it's still milked heavily for its symbolism in the film nonetheless. It's certainly (often, if not universally) true in my experience that those who actually were involved in a war, more or less any war/ "police action" / military...- Edward

The Daisy Mae work hat, denim to HBT 1941 - did the pattern change?
Many years ago, I had several Nam-style boonie hats that I wore a lot in Summer. Those went by the wayside eventually, but earlier this year I decided to experiment with their predecessor, the Daisy Mae. Picked up a denim Bronson one online, and found it a great, practical hat for dress down... -

Bill Kelso "Archive" Jackets - Reproductions
There's been all sorts of speculation on this. The reality is, though, unless or until the EU finally pushes through a legal labelling obligation requiring country of manufacture to be clearly stated on the garment itself, we only have the word of any online brand's marketing people. After that...- Edward

Bill Kelso "Archive" Jackets - Reproductions
BK has long been a bit of a mystery, as noted. A long time ago, when they first started with a mid-priced 'house' A2, the marketing suggested the brand was a new development from a company that had long been into making quality leather jackets for the fashion business. Later on they decided to...- Edward

Shipping Outside the US
Some jurisdictions don't charge on second hand clothes, though again that comes back to being correctly declared. Sometimes you have to watch and challenge - more than once when the pound was still strong enough against the dollar that ordering from the US made sense I was billed by UK customs...- Edward
