    I’m with you, the vintage Tudors are much better looking in my opinion - here’s mine for another example.

    Anyone heard of Gapstar sportswear?

    I came across vintage advertising for this company on eBay did a bit of research and found they began in 1953 in LA California 91744. Then I found a ‘B3’ with their label on eBay. Did they make quality stuff? - past tense as I believe they’ve folded. Here’s the ‘B3’ it’s not an accurate replica...

    When did Eastman change their Luftwaffe label?

    It’s not had a lot of wearing since I bought it owing to the surfeit of jackets in my collection each shouting “my turn today!” Fortunately it arrived ready broken in and as I wore it dampish till it dried after washing it fits me nicely.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    A bit of a rarity I’ll warrant - an Aero from 1989 stitched by Paula who still works for Aero. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264958098871

    1989 Aero made by Paula!

    A style I’ve never seen - must be as rare as rocking horse droppings in the desert and I nearly bought it - but I’ve got one or two too many jackets. I’ve inspected it and the leather is in excellent condition. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264958098871

    SCHOTT Cycle Rider Jackets

    I had one a few years ago and noted that the leather was tougher and less flexible than that on the Perfecto jackets. I didn’t rate my Cycle rider as highly as my Perfecto and soon sold it. With hindsight I think it would have been the safer jacket of the two to be wearing on a motorbike given...

    Help I’d this overcoat

    It has the look of a ww2 officers army greatcoat. These were usually ‘bespoke’ ie privately tailored to fit the officer so if that’s the case here you’ll have little chance of identifying the tailor. If it is a greatcoat then it’s likely the officer had the buttons changed post war?

    Did you ever regret selling a jacket?

    Yes I regretted selling a couple of belted Barbour waxed jackets - a Solway Zipper and an Ursula a year or so ago so I’ve just replaced them thanks to eBay.

    Someone talk me out of this or not :)

    I’m 6’1” with a 32” inside leg so I’ve got a long torso. Aero add a bit of extra length on the back of the jackets they’ve made for me. The amount varies depending on the style but you can trust them to get it right based on the body measurements they ask you for. If you’re really lucky you...

    Cone Mills selvedge ID (ticking) authentication question...

    The following is speculation The width of the fold over will depend on the taper on the legs and will vary according to size style and minor errors in production. Many of the original looms were exported to Japan and the Japanese are fanatical regarding accuracy so I’d guess that modern...

    Walking Sticks & Canes.

    I’ve had a few silver topped canes pass through my hands but I’ve sold them on as generally they were designed for shorter people. However in (sensible?) preparation for my old age I’ve kept hold of this carved stick which fits me just right. I picked it up in a charity shop for two pounds.
