    Wanted: Aero Leather ANJ-3 Size 42

    There's an original on their website in a 42" with a 26" back - might be the one their repro is based on? http://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/product-detail.php?id=2853 If that's no good then keep checking out their pages and you'll probably find what you want. EBay sometimes turns up a bargain...

    Buying on eBay from Indonesia?

    It's always worth reading the feedback of any seller. I've seen instances of Chinese vendors with high perfect postitive feedback which didn't stand up to close scrutiny. They were comprised of penny sales to buyers who were no longer members of eBay. Slightly off subject I'm annoyed that...

    Gibson and Barnes pu coating

    It might be a pva seal you know - Feibings sell a couple of products to seal leather after dyeing - both seem to be pva based - 'Bag Kote' and 'Resolene'. It's quite possible that their tannery has used a similar product. If it's not pva it's a white emulsion of some kind of 'plastic' in water...

    Real McCoys G-1 Fit Check

    Fit is a personal taste issue. My experience is that those who are uncertain about fit and ask for opinions will get a spectrum of opinions from - 'perfect' to too tight too long 'good fit for a flight jacket - they were designed snug for tight cockpits etc.etc. etc. The fact that you're asking...

    Thoughts on jacket collar "stays"/tabs? (Aka AKA Route 66)

    My view is that if the latch is an original feature of a jacket then it should be included in the reproduction jacket - using it is optional. I agree with Nick 123, the latch on my original G1 is too tight and chokes me when fastened but the one on my Gibson and Barnes repro G1 is looser...

    Einstein's Leather Jacket At Christies

    You bet! It's a good style too, apparently by Levi Strauss. I suspect they might bid on it for their archive? Consequently it might well exceed the estimate.

    Bang for your buck: your best Outerwear score for under $100

    Mint Brooks Cafe Racer £28 from Cow Vintage I think that was the price / it was a while ago. They'd reduced the price that day owing to it not selling for £40 - unbelievable.

    Higher rise jeans for men: Yay or nay?

    I've contacted Cavenders to see if they'll ship to the UK - fingers crossed- Wrangler 13MWZ jeans are no longer sold in the UK.

    A2 jacket fit - honest opinions requested

    I think the GW is too blousy and the ELC is a much better fit.

    Friends of the good old leather-belts!

    McRostie kilt belt I found in a charity shop for £5.00 - thank goodness I didn't have to pay the retail price. I swapped the ornate buckle for a simple brass one http://www.mcrostie.co.uk

    Friends of the good old leather-belts!

    If you are in the UK there's a good shop in Matlock that runs courses and sells practically anything you'll need to make stuff in leather. They are reputed to have supplied tools and leather to the armourers who made the props for Game of Thrones. My daughter took me on one of their 'gadget case...

    Envy!! But yes the sleeves are a bit long although they may 'ride up with wear'.

    Friends of the good old leather-belts!

    I bought a buckle from Elliot Rhodes in Covent Garden the last time I was in London and made a simple black butt hide belt. I bought the strap and the poppers (plus tool) on eBay. I can change the buckle by unpopping the poppers. The buckle caught my eye as it is a similar design to those of...
