    That is just great! I just saved your picture and will use it for reference if needed. Thanks!

    What are you wearing today??

    I've been meaning for a long time to get myself a pair of Mexican-made huarache shoes. Closed front, possibly laced, and car tire soles. If I can find those I'll be a very happy guy.

    Elvis Bike Jacket

    Love Elvis' mounted police trousers in that pic! I've ordered some 3M silver fabric tape that I'm planning to sew on the side of a pair of blue chinos, to use as biking pants. Hope I won't look too much of a weirdo in them!

    Zipper repair of the thread behind the male insertion pin

    If you can find replacement pins, then all you have to do is unstitch the zipper at the bottom, so you can expose the undamaged part of the zipper tape, next to the frayed part, and add the reinfrocement tape (perhaps both if front of and behind the damaged portion).

    Corduroy Pants in the Golden Era?

    That means you did catch the 80s! And 70s! :p

    Zipper repair of the thread behind the male insertion pin

    Hi, I don't know if they supply spare parts but really doubt it. Nice drawing indeed. Architect?

    Corduroy Pants in the Golden Era?

    The 70s were a sartorial nightmare. Thank God I'm a child of the 80s.

    1950's-60's Car Coat Sources

    Those remind me of the Skyliner jacket by Eddie Bauer. But that's a down jacket, so probably not what you're after.

    Ordering from Global Ratuken

    I ordered once from rakuten about a year ago, from a shop called Wild Hearts for a leather wallet strap. I think I went through the whole order process using Google Translate. Everything went fine, and the shipping didn't take too long (way less than when ordering from China). Only minor issue...

    Brooks that needs repair to lining - worth it or not?

    The upside, if you do this, is you can choose a funky lining of your preference. I've always liked those silk escape maps (original ones that one can still find for cheap, not repros) used as linings, for example.

    Zipper repair of the thread behind the male insertion pin

    I hate it when that happens! I wonder if it is possible to pry open the male bottom pin, in order to place a thin fabric backing on the zipper tape, and then crimp the pin back in place.

    Brooks that needs repair to lining - worth it or not?

    Another option could be to just remove the lining altogether and just wear it unlined. Some cafe racers of the time came like that.

    Wool/leather Navajo Print Half Belt??

    Maybe try Pendleton/Woolrich blanket coats.

    ALL ORIGINAL Irvin RAF type Jackets - Loving that Wolf in sheeps' clothing!

    Thank you, fellas. Would it be possible to see the inside side (the hairy part), where those vented triangles are?

    ALL ORIGINAL Irvin RAF type Jackets - Loving that Wolf in sheeps' clothing!

    I am thinking of installing air vents on a shearling lined jacket I have. I'm not sure if I should place a leather patch over the wool, or have the rivet just sit on the shearling. Could any Irving jacket owner check (or better yet post a pic of) the armpit vents on the inside side of their jacket?

    Best superhero?

    Now you guys got me curious. Just added Logan to my torrents.

    How much younger does a fresh, crunchy Denim-jacket make you?

    Heard that too. But still the thought of spandex added to my pants gives me goosebumps.
