Splinters new old Irvin got me thinking about original jackets and their story. Have many of you followed through maybe a name and service number written in one of your finds and found a great story and if so, how about sharing it? Photos would be much appreciated too.

Thanks Ton. It's my driving jacket when I'm out in the MG. that big collar is a lifesaver when the wind comes over the windscreen and curls back into the cockpit. I'll do a B6 specific thread when I have time. Like SpeedRcrX mentioned, there ain't too many reviews on here.

just a quick one folks. Have any of you ordered via this site? I'm after a pair of Buzz Rickson A10 gloves and they are way cheaper on this site and that worries me. I know GR is a Japanese Amazon type site but I'm just wary of getting stooged! The fellas selling them are Rodeo Bros is anyone...
Hi Cocker, I know this is a fairly old post but how did you get on with your A10's? I'm looking at the ELC gloves as well and have the same concerns. I'm 9 inches across the knuckles which, by their size guide, suggests a small or maybe medium yet with BR and Aero i'm on the cusp of XL? How...
Hello all, I've posted these elsewhere but I thought I would put the, on here. First up is my 1950's Birks Rideau which is my favourite watch and handy when I'm out in the MGB.
Second is my 1918 gold Zenith. Lovely watch but a little delicate for my lifestyle so it doesn't get out much. Hope...
It is far and away my favourite watch. I used to like the pilot style watch with big "dinner plate" faces but this has a real elegance about it plus I love the fact hat it's so old.
I think I have posted the Zenith before but here's a couple I've just taken.
Thanks for the response and info Viclip.
I have had the watch serviced already and it's keeping great time. I did notice the minute register only counts to 45 minutes, is there any reason for this or am I missing something obvious?
I seem to be lucky enough to have a family who bought...
hello folks,
I've recently inherited a vintage chronograph watch by Birks Rideau and I'm wondering if you guys might give me some background into the brand. It's a nice spotless watch and I'm led to believe it's from the 1950's. any info is greatly appreciated.

Hello!
I'm keen to buy a Kersey Peacoat (pre 1980) in size 44 (I'm a 43 chest so I assume this is the right size?).
Ideally im Looking for one in good condition without weather fading and hopefully without prominent rank or moth marks. I realise this may be a challenge in these older garments...
Great looking jacket and fit Doylum. Can I ask what height you are? I have a B6 on order in the same hide and back length and I'm trying to picture how it might look on me.
Cheers
Garry
Have a look a this mate http://www.uswings.com/product-category/jackets-coats/leather-jackets/a-2-jackets/.
They have many A2's and other jackets that might be in your range.
On style (and being a fairly big lad myself) my personal opinion is that the A2 isn't such a good style for us as the...
