    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I’m guessing the suit was made in the U.K. In the 60’s by Rivetts of Leytonstone. Here’s a thread from TFL from a while ago where the ownership of the Highwayman label was being discussed. https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/how-did-aero-get-the-highwayman-name-from-lewis-leathers.77274/

    Diamond nickel Talon pocket zipper, where to find them?

    I believe the one you’ve spotted on eBay is a repro. Why not ask the seller if he has access to nickel versions?

    "Lee Trevor" I Have Little Problem...

    I’d suggest carefully rubbing over the rust with fine steel wool bunched up into a small dome and held between thumb and first two fingers. Once the rust has been removed coat the steel with Vaseline or Pecard to prevent the rust returning. Swapping the poppers is not an easy task - you’d have...

    Belstaff whiff.

    If they’re wax cotton you should not use any detergent. I clean mine by hanging them outside and hosing them down with clean fresh water. You can use a soft brush too. Let them dry naturally outside in the sun and wind. if they’re that old they could probably do with a rewax. You’ll find videos...

    New halfbelt - age? Maker? Anyone?

    I think you’re correct ref: dates and that would fit with the zipper pull and stopper. I wasn’t so sure about the colour at first - it has a hint of ‘oxblood’ shoe leather but I like it now as it’s a pretty unusual colour for a jacket.

    New halfbelt - age? Maker? Anyone?

    While searching my clothes rail for my 40’s Hercules halfbelt I found this one - I’d forgotten about it - just stashed it fast some time ago before it was spotted by the ‘fashion police’ (my wife Liz) sayer of those fateful words ‘You’re not going out of the house with me wearing that!’. Anyway...

    Beeswax for CXL treatment

    I used to make beeswax Boot polish and use it in my hiking boots. As explained above 100% beeswax is as hard as a candle. The only way to apply 100% beeswax to leather is to dissolve it in a Leather Safe volatile solvent. Once applied the solvent evaporates leaving just the wax in and on the...
