    Guide for first fedora/hat

    pulled the trigger and bought an Open Road from Amazon, in "my size", all of my hat are 58, or 7.25. I believe this one fits correctly, but the dip on the crown sort of immediately touch the top of my head, so the whole hat sits shallowly on my head, is this how it's meant to fit? I don't think...

    Role Club Boots (Questions for the experienced)

    I am waiting on a pair of black roleclub in the 1940 last, I was one of Brian's earlier customers back in the day, with a pair of the 30s last (forgot the model number, maybe 2307? maybe 1930?), soft toe. The 30s last just look a bit too narrow looking from above, I liked it to have a bit of a...

    Aero damage

    The OP jacket is made from Horween CXL right? CXL is originally shoe leather (of the thicker variant of course Monitor), it’s meant to withstand elements, but, perhaps not salt because the exterior is not usually exposed to sweat (or salt water unless it’s beach lifestyle). Looking at vintage...

    My New Eastman A-2 Jacket 27752 324th bomb squadron

    How do the forearms fit? My 1401 had really slim forearms I had to sell the jacket. Eastman is leaning towards “slim fit” for a while that no longer fit me. But I love the back profile of their A2

    Aero damage

    maybe it's Dav's jacket...the sellers said it, "it's tired". It's tired of being thrown on the ground or dragged through mud

    Vinyl or horsehide?

    thanks fellas! Paul Smith, that's him! Damn. Anyhow, I did try two tests: apply conditioner, and soaking in water; also thought about the burn test but can't find a loose strip. Also, couldn't see an exposed underside, will keep looking. The conditioner I applied was the Leatherique...

    Vinyl or horsehide?

    Photos: it has white undertone, there are panels with grain, it absorbs water too. But it’s very stiff and smooth.

    Vinyl or horsehide?

    After years and dozens of hands on experiences, I couldn’t believe the confusion I’m in with this jacket...it really gnaws at me. So, I bought this on eBay, English vintage seller, a German 60-70s MC jacket, really cool on photo (and in person), mint condition, black moleskin lining and Reis...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    The lockdown gave me a lot of time to stay in the shed/workshop/jacket storage space. It also seems to have made me lose weight, so I gazed at some old jackets that I’d forgotten, one is this 2000 era Aero A2, seal jerky with reddish undertone. I bought it used, lining all falling apart and all...

    List of "Halfbelt jacket" movies

    Just watched The Troublw with Harry, very typical dark brown leather, it made me wonder how many jackets used in The Wild One are actually brown. Brown and black would look similar in BW film

    List of "Halfbelt jacket" movies

    I caved and bent my own rule, movies made in any year is fine. Was watching The Terror S2, wow, some nice wool/leather combo jacket in E2!! Wondering if it's from the costume warehouse (aka, an original), or a repro, never seen it offered by any maker today though

    List of "Halfbelt jacket" movies

    Transplanting this question over from the Moving Pictures forum per Worf's suggestions. Ok, this is a fairly specific request but not as nerdy as the title suggests. I just want a list of movies, from any era but preferably made before the 80s, about life in the 30s to 50s, and people actually...
