    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    They are the exact same color. And beginning of the 90's figures. Whoaaa...Time passes so quickly!

    How accurate is Mad Men with regard to the early '60s?

    I am not that old, but I started working in advertising - as Art Director - in the early seventies. And I must say, that the offices, the clothing and most of all - the way they work - is pretty accurate. Although we worked a lot harder than these guys. :-)

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    I really got my feet up today. Bought these Redwing boots many, many years ago. 1999 is my guess. And they have served me well ever since. Even in ankle-deep streams, snow...what have you.

    Best most accurate repro Irvin ? which maker?

    I have been on this quest for the Holy Grail of repro Irvins for many, many years. Just ask anybody here - or read the whole thread, Andrew posted. Good, informative and funny. As many others I started out with a jacket from Aviation Leathercraft - thought they were the only ones doing repros...

    The story of a pilot

    Well Speedster, it was made through iPhoto. And I can print as many as I want to, but at a (Apple)price!!! It's not like printing 2000 or 3000.

    Is the B3 jacket "too much"?

    We've just had two huge storms charging through the country. Before leaving Copenhagen for a drive across country I threw in my trusted Irvin and my 1936 pattern flying boots. Sure glad I did. When I reached the bridge crossing Storebælt, it was closed for several hours ( five and a half) due...

    the voices of famous actors? why no modern actors sound like them anymore?

    Besides Michael Caine - who is waaaayyyy to old for Jamespowers :-) (born 1933) , I think both Clive Owen (born 1964) and Jude Law (born 1973) and Ewan McGregor (born 1971) has very distinctive voices. Besides being great actors that is. And two of them were even born after 1970!!!!

    The story of a pilot

    Thanks. Well to be honest it wasn't that big an undertaking. I did not have a deadline and could research when ever I had the time and interest to do so. Maybe that's why it took me five to six years to finish this book. But it was fun. And I even had the pleasure of corresponding with some of...

    ALL REPRO R.A.F. Irvin type jackets

    Rarer than hens teeth! That's also why I decided to find the best repro ever. It was a long- expensive - journey but now it's over and I am truly satisfied with my Aces High Irvin. The closest you can get to the real thing (IMO)

    What do you wear in the winter??

    The only real thing: Irvin!

    Fury

    Strangely enough this movie sort of came and went without any fuss over here. Nobody talks about it. I haven't seen it yet and I wonder if it's even showing anywhere now.

    WWII RAF leather flying helmet

    There is a stamped No 2 inside it - no idea on how to transfer that into something useful. Can only say my hat size is 62 and I can not fit my head into it. Price: anything over £100 plus postage.

    WWII RAF leather flying helmet

    Got this 100% original WWII RAF flying helmet up for sale. Bought it in London many, many years ago. Leather is in a good condition - age and all. Two minor period repairs (see photo) Inside spotless and clean - earphones are sadly missing. Instaed I am willing to throw in a pair of (repro)...

    The story of a pilot

    Had to do something with all my notes, so I put this book together. There are only two copies in the world. Till now that is. Thanks to everybody who helped me gather informations in books, newspapers, magazines and on the internet.

    To beard or not to beard?

    A beard most certainly ads 10 or more years to your appearance. Maybe that's why all these young hipster types walks around looking like taliban or lumberjacks? (Says I - who sometimes let it all grow for weeks and sometimes is clean-shaven)
