    He is the guy who own Thedi Leathers. And you are right, I think he has misunderstood you.

    Himel Bros. Grizzly Jacket Review

    I have an Aero Grizzly and one made by Steve S. I like both but I also like the Himel version and have said this here even before the Himel Grizzly was discussed on FL. Design, materials and workmanship are impeccable. What I can't take is the price. For the price of a Himel Grizzly I could buy...

    Himel Bros. Grizzly Jacket Review

    I guess unlike most fashion brands out there one gets what they pay for in buying a Himmel, GW or Aero. They are not cheap but their key differences are reflected by the price point and not to mention intended use. Personally I prefer the mouton Grizzly's. The hair on hide just look too hard...

    My Aero August and J106 jacket

    Congratulations, both look great. The August is very appealing. I guess one would have to spend time in the highlands to get to wear these in Indonesia on a regular basis.

    Broken zipper pulls

    I guess direct communication to Vanson is the logical choice. I know MASH Militaria have some NOS pulls available for old military jackets. They seem to have bits and pieces available not listed on their website. I bought a NOS Talon pull for an A2 jacket from them recently.

    Einstein's Leather Jacket At Christies

    He would just shrug his shoulders and say the leather jacket market is influenced by the forces of relativity.

    Time to Buy Some Jackets (or Gold)

    England just lost to joke team Iceland and now kicked out of the prestigious Euro 2016 Championship. The pain only gets worse.

    Dare to Dream: Your "Ultimate" Leather Jacket

    Out of modern cars, Mazda's still look good though just a bread and butter car. Nothing compared to the classics of course but I notice them all the time on the road and barely notice most other modern makes. If civilisation does not get destroyed by a rogue meteorite or World War III it will...

    Leather Conditioning and Cleaning Products

    I have used plain Vaseline on my M422A navy type jackets with great success. Also avoids the solvent smells from propriety dressings that take ages to fade away.

    Chain gang shirts with shooting target painted on back.

    Came across these photos of chain gang prisoners from the gritty 1932 film HELL'S HIGHWAY. Cool looking maybe denim shirts with target circles painted or sewn on their backs. Anyone know if they existed for real or just a fantasy? Makes the very powerful unsaid statement that one would be shot...

    Mens long hair in the 20s-40s

    Not particularly long but Charles MIddleton's hair in the film HELLS HIGHWAY 1932 would not look out of place today for a longish look. He plays an eccentric new age hippy type character.

    A better horse A-2 than a Cockpit ?

    I wonder how much mule got into A-2s? Was it acceptable to be considered as horse or slipped through surreptitiously?

    A better horse A-2 than a Cockpit ?

    I w I wonder what their knits are made of? Every other decent maker never forgets to state that they are 100% wool. Cockpit forgets to mention this detail. Are they pure wool, wool blend or something else?

    A better horse A-2 than a Cockpit ?

    As other have pointed out this forum is more interested in vintage style be original or repro. Harking back to a bygone era and style. Many are also leather tragics so would like original patterns made with the best and coolest leathers as well with correct details and happy to put up with...

    Albert Richard Horsehide Half Belt-size 40

    Read on Dinerman's blog that Albert Richard products were made by Fried Ostermann from Milwaukee in the 1930/40's. Superb jacket. If this was on the market I would seriously consider it.

    A better horse A-2 than a Cockpit ?

    Get the feeling that the OP by his tone to the thread may be trying to pick a fight. A bit sneery at everything else other than cockpit. Like others are not worthy. Nothing particularly wrong with cockpit products. I owned one when they were Avirex. Moved on to better stuff since then and so...

    Vintage horse Vs mule leather.

    Since mules were more valuable than horses, could premium horsehide as compared to genuine horsehide be considered as mule?
