    RRL 'A1' re-dye before and after pics.

    I agree Carlos - I'd hoped that washing would leak the brown dye into the woollen knits but sadly they stayed green. There's a thread somewhere on replacing knits either here or on VLJ- that may be my next experiment. Rob

    RRL 'A1' re-dye before and after pics.

    Thanks - at least I can bring myself to wear it now - before it was a bit too 'High Street/Mall jacket' but now it looks quite vintage. I read somewhere that the RRL range is or was originally based on vintage originals? If it's true it's a pity they don't have a web page showing the originals...

    RRL 'A1' re-dye before and after pics.

    I bought this on eBay a few months ago but found it too shiny and much too khaki, As it was only £75 I decided to experiment. I deglazed it with Fiebings deglazer and then dyed it with Fiebings Professional Oil Dye. I found the result still a bit too shiny so I washed it in the machine on a...

    New Aero Zip Sleeve Bootlegger

    HD Great advice I've just got to that point- the last three eBay buys have been disappointing and I should have kept the cash in the bank and worn my earlier buys on a rota. It's time to sell the unwanted ones! Rob

    North Sea Clothing jumpers

    Hmmm- Rudie I think you'll be fine. Its a brand new cable knit sweater with loads of natural elasticity I can easily extend the sleeve length to 30" with no effort. I order my Aero jackets with a 26" sleeve and I can roll back the cuffs on this sweater - as in the pics- As I suggested above...

    North Sea Clothing jumpers

    It's the full length on a brand new sweater unworn, unturned and unstretched, - remember they're knitted so they naturally stretch out longer when your arm is inside, unlike leather jacket sleeves. If you're worried they are too short for you then email North Sea and ask them- they responded to...

    North Sea Clothing jumpers

    I've just received my first purchase (a Marine in blue) from North Sea Clothing - they've got a sale on so lots of stuff half price - still pricey at £75 for a jumper but great quality and a nice snug fit with plenty of stretch built in and I'm really pleased with the sleeve and body length. I...

    Favorite shaving soaps

    I use l'Occitane shaving soap in a bowl and my (inherited from my wife's grandpa), Old Spice shaving scuttle. I'm not sure I would have bought the soap untested given its high price but it was a present from my sister for my 60th. When it finally runs out I'll get a refill as it provides a...
