    New Eastman Leather Clothing "Escape" A-2

    Another question; in most big budget films, clothing props for the main star like this jacket which may be worn for many scenes are usually made in multiples. Could there have been more than one?

    Japanese vs Scotland quality

    I am with you here, those are fine rums. I mostly only drink rum now and my favourites are the Santiago De Cuba Anejo and Anejo 12 years old. I keep trying other rums and there are many good ones but these are my go to rums for everyday and most special occasions. Outstanding quality Cuban rum...

    Aero listed as a cheap brand to avoid

    He links the Aero website we know well. If as you say, he is very sloppy with his links.

    Vintage Picking and Road Tripping with Dinerman

    It's nice that a lot of Dinerman's great finds end up on the worldwide market. And so well described and documented too.

    Japanese vs Scotland quality

    Islay Malt is my favourite tasting spirit by miles. Unfortunately whiskey these days gives me a sore head. Have to now settle for fine Cuban rum.

    Japanese vs Scotland quality

    If we are just talking about quality of just about anything manufactured, the Japanese won that war against the rest of the world a couple of decades ago.

    New Eastman Leather Clothing "Escape" A-2

    This reminds me of just like in the old days when car manufacturers used to make over the top unobtainable concept cars for motor shows. Keeps them in the public eye, people talk about them and then some go buy the current off the shelf practical model. Tribute jackets are not as far out and...

    F.S. Schott Perfecto 618 Size 42

    I bought a really nice Toyo Enterprises Indian Motorcycle Hercules style jacket from Ricky a while ago. Had the same wrinkles. After a couple of wears all gone and only outstanding patina left. Must be a storage thing or climate related. Leather jackets in Indonesia is not what one expects...

    Gustin to make jackets?

    That kind of over distressed leather is about as appealing to look at as having a nice juicy steak on my plate, giving it a thorough chew then putting it back on the plate again to admire.

    'Experimental Test Sample' AN-J-3 Jacket Project

    Looks to be progressing beautifully. Looks like it's going to be another wonderful jacket. Thats what I call personal attention and communication.

    Flight jackets right length

    No such thing as right length on an issue jacket or even commercial off the rack sizes. Everyone is built slightly different and preferences vary. Right length is for the custom fit if you don't get lucky otherwise.

    Conditioning/ Softening Vintage Goatskin Jacket?

    I am now using Vaseline. There are numerous other propriety dressings that work well but now I can avoid those hydrocarbon odours that seem to take at least a month minimum to get rid of.

    Coolest ever leather – ever?

    This is one cool jacket but would take a lots of guts to wear it.

    The Cockpit USA Type M-69D Air Transport Coat

    May be worth looking out for an original. Seen some excellent examples sell over the past year for a few hundred dollars or thereabouts. Far less than what they should be worth. Resale value might be a problem with a new one as the market seems limited.

    Show Me Your Jacket Accoutrements

    I have a small collection of "Fumsup"and "Touchwud" lucky charms for my jackets. These tiny charms were hugely popular amongst World War I soldiers and worn during action. Given as presents to soldiers by their families and sweethearts before going to war. Not period correct for A2's but are...

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    Yes I am in Victoria. Today it is relatively cool and raining. Better than yesterday. The afternoon was unbearable. Hard to get used to any kind of weather over here as it changes quickly within a matter of hours.

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    Another hair dryer day over here. 42C and the thought of wearing any jacket is purely academic. I did two loads of washing today. When I went out to hang the second load the first load was already bone dry. To amuse myself hiding from the heat I stitched up some moth holes on knits of a jacket...
