    WTB M422A or G1 repro in 42 or 44

    Hi Guys I'm looking for a good quality repro navy G1 style flight jacket in a 42/44. Not too concerned with maker, but looking for good quality workmanship and materials (aren't we all!). I've gotten close but not yet found the right jacket! Many thanks

    Hatless

    Oh, it's fun to wallow in a bit of nostalgia. Taken 20 years or so ago when my wife was still my fiancé and our children were not yet even a sparkle in her eyes. I'm the chap with the untied bow tie, the end of the day after a pleasant family gathering. A few back to ours for a night cap, and in...

    Hi Bob I've been back through this thread as somehow I missed your post 1st time round. I love that navy. How does it look in real life as on my monitor, some images look almost black, others dark blue. And if you still have a hankering for black cherry there's an easy solution! Best wishes Greg

    Hi TJ I have whisky, dark brown and granite hats all in Winchester beaver felt that I'd happily post comparison images of, but it will have to wait for a week or two as whilst decorating I've put most of my hats into storage - wet paint and hats do not belong together, unless you're Laurel and...

    A quick phone pick of my latest from Mike, and possibly my favourite! I will take some decent picks hopefully this weekend, we've got the decorators in and I'm not sure where my camera has been stored. It's really hard to photograph adequately, in real life it is a beautiful, incredibly dark...

    Question regarding custom order

    Hi Guys Thanks for all your input. It's good to get some knowledgable opinions, even if there is, as always some contrary views! I've had a response from the maker and it's all good.

    Question regarding custom order

    The maker has said they will change out a panel. Not sure if I think this will really work. Would it be reasonable to accept this but with the proviso I can have a remake if I'm not happy with the result? It's so upsetting because the jacket is absolutely stunning. I'm still awaiting a...

    Question regarding custom order

    Hi Guys Quick question about what is my first custom jacket: I sent off a series of measurements by email and a couple of months later the jacket arrives. I am overjoyed as it looks exactly like I'd hoped for. However this joy soon turns to despair as It's immediately obvious it doesn't fit...

    I agree the beaver does edge it, but that the Fepsa comes close is testament to its quality.

    TJ As I already had a couple of Indy style hats with tall crowns I purposely went a bit lower on this one. From memory Mike thought the film hat to be approx 5 1/2" open crown, but I decided to go 5 1/4. I was looking for a hat 'in the style of' not a facsimile. I also went for 2 1/4 brim as...

    How To Pull Off A Fedora/Trilby Dress Hat

    I too was in my mid forties when I decided to start wearing a hat. I'd always loved the look, but like many others have described I was initially a little self conscious. However this feeling quickly passed, and it was only a matter of a few weeks later that on leaving home I had a feeling that...

    I had Mike make me a 'China' hat from a mid brown Fepsa rabbit felt. It's amazing, very similar to Winchesters Whisky felt, but much more complex, with amazing undertones. Doesn't photograph well unfortunately. The Fepsa rabbit rivals Winchester beaver in hand and density. Stunning! There are...

    g-1 leather jacket

    Cheers! Yes I've noticed prices have gone up significantly. Should have started my search earlier. I've seen the ELC jackets and they look amazing. If one comes up in my size 42/44 I would be very interested. But in truth I was hoping for an original in goatskin and with a real collar. Seems I...
