    Where can I find 1940's/50's T-shirts

    Maybe try Bonds. They make wide selection of tshirts and singlets in many styles and plain colours. May be something there for you. The quality is very good. These linked below are what they call their 60's raglan style and a short sleeve tee shirt...

    Could this be the latest craze in leather outerwear?

    I live quite close to their shop. Never heard of them before. Agree their shoes look great. Will have to visit and check them out. At least now they have some attention here.

    Could this be the latest craze in leather outerwear?

    Unlike other forms of work wear with fashion crossover potential this remains strictly work wear. I can't imagine someone using this at a flash home BBQ. There will be some seriously ugly staining.

    I am totally flabbergasted . . .

    When the hugely expensive TV series THE MIGHTY EIGHTH finally comes out there may be a resurgence. Any way it's a buyers market for many these days so a good time to take advantage.

    Could this be the latest craze in leather outerwear?

    Who wants to buy a genuine Italian leather machinist apron matched with English elastic and solid brass fittings? A brass name plaque is an optional extra. Will go well with engineer boots no doubt. http://wootten.com.au/shop/machinist-apron/

    Aero no longer taking used jackets?

    That's why we have Ebay or the sales section here. Will get a better price anyhow than an entity that needs to make a profit.

    Help needed to decide what size A2 jacket should fit good

    Best go for measurement comparison rather than label sizes. There are all kinds of fits out there and label sizes can be deceiving. Some makers also use old style label sizing where a 40 would be more like a modern 38.

    Replacement A2 knits & hardware

    MASH are great. Bought knits and a few NOS Talon zippers from them. Even got an NOS Talon puller from them saving me buying a complete zipper. Service is exceptional.

    Gustin L2 Jacket

    Where I live here I cannot believe the number of women both young and middle aged or older wearing black short motorcycle inspired jackets. They seem to be everywhere. Definetly less guys wearing them though.

    Block Bilt jacket - gorgeous

    Should put 99c no reserve auction price on this. Will sell well even above what it is realistically worth but not at the ridiculous asking price.

    Gustin L2 Jacket

    Tame inoffensive biker style fashion jacket. Will look great on 18-22 year olds.

    Shoulder and pit to pit

    I have a 39 chest. 21.5in PP is the minimum I prefer and up to 22.5. As for shoulders measured from seam to seam in the usual way 18- 18.5in is my preference. But I do have a jacket with the shoulder seam at 19in and it fits well. I also have a vintage jacket with 21in PP and 17.5in shoulder...

    Is nothing sacred? Remaking Casablanca.

    THe film carries on a lot about Liberty, Equality and Fraternity and other noble principles but that does not apply to the colonised natives though. They are almost invisible in the film.

    Good Wear 30s Cossack

    What! Not supreme, sublime and sensational?

    Good Wear 30s Cossack

    Not a fan of small pointy pockets. Would have liked a more A2 style pocket. The rest of the jacket looks nice.

    Unusual leather jacket on eBay

    Looks the real deal for an exotic 1930's bike jacket from the continent. The leather looks fantastic to me. Would have been good to have a close up of the hardware. May help better for dating origin. I have a German 1930's jacket and the leather is very similar with almost identical patina. I...

    Aero "Jerky" Horsehide vs. "Smooth" FQHH

    I was under the impression the 'Real Deal' is now an original maker contract jacket. That's what is says on the Aero website. The Aero 15142 but with unmatched hides. Your seal 15142 looks awesome. Colour is matter of taste. I got my Real Deal in russet. It was tough choice but would be happy...

    Thoughts on leather of Schott leather jackets!

    Well a cow is usually for milking or breeding purposes so it will likely live to a good long age. A steer will go to the abattoir at a young age when ready for slaughter. So there may be a quality or properties difference in the hides due to age of the beast. I guess bull leather is similar to...

    Aero black FQHH -- Nickel or Brass zips..?

    I prefer nickel but natural brass is also nice. It develops nice authentic patina. I don't like antique brass. Looks so fake. Reminds me of cheap 1970's faux antique bric a brac and light fittings.

    1940's England

    Recently watched the first and only season of THE CAZALETS TV series made in 2001. A British series set during the war years. Similar in concept to DOWNTON ABBEY but far more sophisticated and well developed story IMO. More adult themed and not as soapy. ALsomstars Hugh Bonneville. Shame it was...
