    US Authentic A-2 fit

    I think the fit looks quite authentic and not much different to numerous WW2 photos I've seen. Photoshopped in B&W, a crusher cap and smoking pipe for adornment will complete the 1943 look.

    The Maltese Falcon

    The original MALTESE FALCON made in 1931 is also an excellent movie. Far more risque and revealing than the Bogart version. This is one reason it was remade as the original was deemed unsuitable even with edits for release after the enforcement of the production code in 1934 . Lacks the...

    What about this cold war film used as a teaching tool ?

    I understand the US military refused to co-operate with these apocalyptic nuclear disaster films and stand in hardware had to be found. Dr STRANGELOVE was also a British production. The American production ON THE BEACH also had to use Australian warships and submarines to stand in for the US...

    A tragic, need help with some solutions.

    You could try a lambswool polishing disc attached to an electric drill. I used one to clean off some unsighly persistent white marks leaching out of a over dressed jacket a while back. The friction from the spinning pad softens up the gunk and removes it. Leaves a nice buffed finish on...

    Seal leather samples for ANJ-4 poll

    Correct me if I am wrong but I thought the jerky was the mid weight HH used by Aero for A2's and the like.

    Seal leather samples for ANJ-4 poll

    They are all nice and make any choice difficult. I would go for the jerky. Just seems more appropriate for a miltary jacket.

    The Maltese Falcon

    Up until the mid 30', I read that films used real guns with real bullets. That s why in all the real old films the shooter is always pointing the gun downwards to an angle slightly away from an intended victim and aiming for a sandbag no doubt.

    Repro 1930's "Grizzly" jacket

    I have two Grizzly's including one of Steves creations and can assure you they love them. As well as my wife's appreciation, I get admiring looks from women 20 or more years younger than me every time I wear them. Something about the tough and tender contrast maybe. No other jacket has that...

    Nazi Plane Tailfin

    Seen that too. Most of the camouflage was also hand painted and not too good at later stages of the war. A can of paint, brush and stencil was about the most sophisticated decorating equipment available at later stages of the war when a lot of improvisation and short cuts were used due to bombed...

    Aero Zippers, Antique or Not?

    Antique brass finish reminds me of those dreadful faux antique finishes on cheap light fittings and general 70's and 80's kitsch. Yuk.

    Harold Boots Online Store

    Here are my current Harold boots. The first is the super tough Gardener model, elastic sides with leather flaps, strap and buckle. Great for keeping out thorns, sharp objects, hard knocks and ....er snakebites? Made from tough brushed bull hide leather I believe and cork rubber sole. Also handy...

    Steve S. - the new An-J-3

    Steve makes great jackets. I have one. He was very happy to make adjustments as requested to my Grizzly. Every measurement was provided by me.

    I also have four pairs of White's Boots. Quality and old fashioned workmanship is comparable.

    Harold Boots Online Store

    Harold Boots are a small low key business who operate mainly from word of mouth and reputation in equine related industries. Their old factory used to be around the corner from my house in Abbotsford. The place was like a time warp from the 1920's with ancient machinery and crusty old...

    BK's Site Relaunch

    Stayed away from the BK debate in the past but I just cannot believe the upcharge on that Victory hide. Costs more than a complete jacket in other hides for the upgrade alone. Either they have very limited quantities, pay a huge premium for it and can afford to be ultra exclusive or perhaps a...

    What Does It Mean To Dress CASUAL In The 1910s And The 1920s And The 1930s And The 1940s?

    Casual wear as we know it was more of a youth culture thing.

    What Does It Mean To Dress CASUAL In The 1910s And The 1920s And The 1930s And The 1940s?

    Here are scenes from Japanese silent film DRAGNET GIRL 1933 showing some casual delinquent wear in American Style. Japanese tastes for Americana haven't changed much in 8 decades.

    A short guide to Luftwaffe flight jackets

    I read that Hermann Goring was furious with the German aircraft industry after the De Haviland Mosquito's first appeared over Berlin. Could not believe they were made in piano and furniture factories using non strategic materials like wood, glue and cloth. Was frustrated that no hi tech German...
