    Allen Edmonds closeout

    So how are those dress boots holding up? My Daltons lasted a year. Have a look: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?70098-Clearance-on-Allen-Edmonds-Dalton-dress-boot-in-grey-calf&p=1823609&viewfull=1#post1823609

    Clearance on Allen Edmonds Dalton dress boot in grey calf

    Well I figured AE uses quality calf, but I might have been wrong. I short year later (I'm a couple of months late in posting) these shoes are dead. I thought they were very nice looking shoes, if not the most comfortable dress boots I have (that honor probably goes to my Whites or, on the...

    What do I have? Windward? Civilian G-1? G-2?

    And some bad pictures of the leather.

    What do I have? Windward? Civilian G-1? G-2?

    "Pretty bog-standard mall quality jacket. And when I say mall quality, I'm comparing it to the higher quality that was around in the early 1980's, not today's plastic stuff." Hm, I'd say a good bit better than that, at least the leather and manufacture of this one. But yeah, I put on one of...

    What do I have? Windward? Civilian G-1? G-2?

    Interesting. It's not precisely that, either, since it had a zip-in lining at one time. When I said the lining was gone, that wasn't quite right- there is a black satin lining still intact. Anyway, thanks for all the responses. It's a durable jacket I'll keep around as an indestructible...

    What do I have? Windward? Civilian G-1? G-2?

    Huh. Seems to me more like heavy steer. I'm not disagreeing with the consensus but the leather is SO heavy and the knits are SO heavy. As I noted definitely heavier than my aero fqhh. I thought those avirex jackets were lower quality? And why isn't it branded all over? Thanks all for the...

    What do I have? Windward? Civilian G-1? G-2?

    Hi All, Found a vintage leather jacket in a store in Hudson, NY the other day. It's some of the heaviest leather I have ever had- heavier than my FQHH Aero for sure. There are no maker's marks except on the back of the snaps, where it carries the impression of "Durable - DOT - RG"...

    Kangaroo Jackets

    Look up his only other post. That certainly appears to be the case. He ought to pay like any other vendor on this site.

    D-pocket repros question...

    Nice find... and it might even fit me... Sell it on eBay with really good photos and you hopefully you'll end up with enough cash for a jacket that fits you. A jacket that size might get you a decent return.

    D-pocket repros question...

    My Johnson Leathers D-pocket jackets, made from Horween horsehide, were both under $500 and off the shelf (including adjustment to the sleeve length). Not sure how much less expensive you have in mind.

    Something old (ish) - 10 months in AL Simmons Bilt

    Very nice. Thanks for all the pics.

    Leather Collar Wear

    No question. The ends of my sleeves, too. I have had Johnson Leathers replace both on my old jacket. They did a lovely job of matching leather, almost 20 years later.

    A new (to me) vintage lawyer's briefcase

    Nice briefcase and luggage! I recently picked up a vintage English attache case, which you can see here: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?76015-Leather-care-for-old-briefcase/page2 I've been happily using it to lug around my 15" Macbook Pro.

    A Softer Hide?

    My GW A-1 simply soaks up rain. Probably depends on how it is tanned. I have seen a Lost Worlds deerskin long coat that was impressive. Personally, I find my supposedly FQHH Aero Hercules to be if anything too soft. Limp dishcloth soft in some places. I wish I had the troubles the original...

    The Feiges is outstanding. But I guess I would say that.
