    The Maltese Falcon

    You have to get the Warner Brothers 3 disc version which included the original. See link. Also includes the 1936 remake SATAN MET A LADY. There are also lots of extras and quality is excellent...

    Steve S M-422a Build Thread

    I own a couple of original early navy jackets but never warmed to the repros on offer much. However this is one is superb with beautiful hide and mouton and the fit looks so easy and natural.

    WWII War Paint: How Bomber-Jacket Art Emboldened Our Boys

    Excellent article. I would recommend anyone interested in flight jackets to get at least one of the books by Jon Maguire and John Conway. Lots of history there.

    Einstein on leather jackets... and superfluous

    Oobviously he understood the theory of jacket "relatively". The older and more wear it gets the cooler it looks. Maybe he discovered that too? Drapes not unlike an A-1 or early A-2.

    Einstein on leather jackets... and superfluous

    Why hasn't any of the premium makers released an "Einstein" jacket yet? Come on Ken, John et al, pull your fingers out! Looks cool.

    New Bill Kelso model

    Haven't have much to do with BK but I have two jackets made by Mark Fisher(NORSHOR). His jackets are at the top of the premier league of jackets and he is a perfect gentleman to communicate with. I particularly like his NS2 jacket.

    Black Vicenza Premier 1930's Half Belt - 9 months

    Stupendous jacket. I like the slim premier fit. Another reason to ditch my usual aversion to black. How much freedom of movement is there when you raise your arms?

    Himel Frobisher

    Great jacket and fit as expected from Himel Bros. Would love to see some more images in a couple of months when the newness has gone. Is it just Superfluous's arm length difference and/or also his shoulder? The right shoulder seems to sit lower than the left. I have a similar issue with my left...

    One Hellovah Yard Sale Find

    I would say between 1100 and 1800. May even go further in an auction environment.

    Vintage Barbour International waxed cotton motorcycle jacket from 1954-1968

    Nice jacket but may be better posting it in the outerwear section for discussion before putting it up for sale. Then more can be learn't about the jacket and you can work out a fair price you are looking for.

    One Hellovah Yard Sale Find

    That is a great find. You should make a handsome profit selling it. I would get a competent repair done on the zipper and refresh the leather, perhaps with vaseline. Looks a little dry. Most of these old originals seem to come in smaller sizes from what I've seen..

    Aero Premier Half Belt -- 40 -- Dark Seal Vicenza HH -- Mint Condition

    If there were I would be your competitor. Super's jacket is beauty. If 2 inches less at the sleeves and 1 or a little less less overal length and I would seriously consider it.

    $700 Horween Dublin Jacket -- Thoughts?

    Looks like it was designed by someone who has little experience with leather jackets and tried to inject minimalist cool in his/her design but needs a couple of more tries to get the right mojo into the jacket. Fancy leather will not compensate for general blandness in this case.

    Himel Brothers Leather Co.

    Not too sure about this one. Looks like it made of a sheet of copper boiler plate. Like to see it again in better lighting.

    RL Half Belt

    Great jacket. RL for a fashion brand are great supporters of vintage style and design. Dinerman might elaborate more. I would happily own this example.

    Replacing knits on flight jackets...

    The packaging of the Mash products is superb. Almost like gift packaging. Having bought both MASH and Ebay A2 knits, there is a difference. The Ebay knits are thicker and heavier and the MASH knits are more refined tighter looking which I prefer. Not saying one is better than the other but...

    Bogie's best movie?

    I was very impressed with his small role in Big City Blues (1932) as a thuggish party guest. His latent star quality stands out like a beacon and he projects more natural menace than most of his later gangster roles.

    Replacing knits on flight jackets...

    If you are looking for knits and have someone local to do the job, you could try MASH militaria from Japan. There is also a seller on EBay who sells them. Both are excellent quality. See links below. As yourself I own an original that had poor quality replacement knits which I replaced with...

    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    All depends if he smoked in the house or not. We don't know his smoking habits.

    The 1939 Timewarp House

    He ran a bike shop which had been in the family since the late 19th century and also dabbled in antiques. His life was quite tragic in that that he was a brilliant person with charm and personality but struggled to fit his alternate reality into the real world. His hell raising and nihilism...
