    Good luck, Ian. Were that one size up at 25" pit to pit, I'd be knocking at your door. Lovely jacket.

    Hitch hiking? I know you're a historian, but which century are you living in now?! I'd be amazed if you'd get many people stopping to offer a lift these days.

    Who wears/wore porkpies?

    Just received this one through the post from Laird Hatters (London) - love it. Aside from Lester Young, my Pork-pie wearers woud be Marcus Miller (jazz bass guitarist) and Danny Thompson (jazz/folk double bassist)...

    Is a pork-pie a different category?

    I've just received my first pork pie hat through the post today (from Laird Hatters, London, http://www.lairdlondon.co.uk/). It was an impulse buy as I was offered a hat to compensate for the unexpected failure of a brim snap in a new 8-panel Bakerboy cap; the cap was also replaced. Excellent...

    You're welcome, Ross. Enjoy the jacket and get some of those Lewis Leathers zips on it (sounds like a good deal in the repro Irvin thread).

    Thanks John - that's sounds like an excellent deal to set a more run of the mill repro straight (and useful to have a spare set at home as well). I'll follow that up. Cheers Ian

    ушанканатор - USHANKANATOR .... bring it on!!!!!!

    I've had a couple of ushanki (a wartime issued 'fishfur' cap in a wearable 57-58 and a postwar officer's sheepskin in a 57) for around 5 years and swear by them, particularly in the recent snow. The ear flaps certainly came down in Volgograd (-28C with a biting wind... :/ ) regardless of what...

    Buttons on a leather jacket

    Don't apologise, I wish that you could just relax and enjoy the jacket rather than fixating on the buttons. Honestly, I've yet to have one come off in daily use. Enjoy it!
