    Were Belstaff jackets originally made with leather?

    Most probably for a man. In the U.K. a woman's jacket would have the wind flap and buttons reversed.

    Anyone interested in/wearing original military watches?

    I had this one and can't remember what happened to it. I believe it has the same movement as the military ones.

    Can Anyone Identify This Jacket??

    I clicked on the link when the question first came up - I didn't like the look of the page that started to load - looked like one of those pop ups from spam emails that purport to come from one of your contacts. So I deleted the page and cleared history etc!

    Best product that helps to remove dark circles

    Apologies for a males response but this appeared in 'new posts' My advice is as always - take it or leave it no worries- Try these natural approaches first before paying lots of money out on any invasive procedure that won't last and may go horribly wrong...

    Has anyone been able to stretch an aero for length?

    aero b-3 arrived , comparison with my Eastman b-3

    It's tough making that type of decision - have you thought about keeping both, the Eastman for cold Spring and Autumn/Fall days and the Aero for Winter? Can you afford to keep both when you could return one and use the cash for a different jacket or project? Etc etc etc.

    If Vaseline is used by John Chapman of Good Wear Leather - then that's good enough for me!
