    A visit to Wooden Sleepers vintage, Brooklyn

    I enjoyed the video. Great snippets of info there. Enjoy the rest of your holiday. BTW, is your wife Alex toting a repo retro Fujifilm X100 camera?

    Jacket ID?

    These kind of 60-70's suede jackets seem to pop often on Ebay and quite cheap usually. If you are looking for something similar, a little patience will be well rewarded.

    Animated Cartoons in the Golden Era

    Not sure if mentioned but Hot Chocolate Soldiers from the 1934 film Hollyood Party is one of my favourites. Heres the link, http://youtu.be/6AQMMNeckb4

    What size flight jacket do you wear?

    I wonder what diet has to do with modern body shapes even without gym and artificial enhancers? One hears of all the steroids used in the chicken, pork and beef industry. The connection has been made.

    An interesting story about Hollister clothing's origins

    Back to the subject. Despite the cockn'bull story, I would not be surprised if the Hollister name was really chosen because of the 1947 Hollister riot. The rebellious sub culture connection.

    An interesting story about Hollister clothing's origins

    When I was at school in the early 1970's there was an anti brand thing mostly with jean labels happening. One had to remove the leather label patches from ones jeans to avoid humilation and or a beating. If you came to school with new jeans wth the patch still attached, you would be stalked and...

    Denim Jackets - New or Vintage

    I agree, I find denim jackets work particulary well with jean cut corduroys in most colours except blue.

    My latest buy: Aero M422A Jacket

    My original Gordon & Ferguson M422A size 40(my normal size) fits me almost exactly like your first photo. A slightly longer and looser look. The fit around chest and shoulders is spot on with no shoulder droop but they do have extra length built in IMO. One would have to well over 6 ft to get...

    Denim Jackets - New or Vintage

    Corduroy jean jackets look great. I have owned quite a few over the decades including Lee, Levi's, Wrangler and other brands.I have a slight preference to corduroy over denim for trucker style jackets. They are much lighter weight and more comfortable. I haven't seen new Levi's corduroy...

    Would you wear it?

    The " Flying Tigers" and their leader General Chennault have a good reputation in China despite Chennault being a leading man for CKS in his anti Communist fight after the war. Their efforts are not forgotten for assistance in the anti Japanese war. There are memorials honouring The Flying...

    New Eastman HLB A2 Review

    A great jacket like this is better plain and unadorned. Unless one has a very good reason to wear repro period patches, like for re-enactment, films etc, I believe it is rather bad form as they become just fashion accesories.

    Check out ELC's new-look website!

    I have been travelling to China every year for over a decade. I can assure you the nouveau rich have only one consideration when they shop. Highest price is best price as far as they are concerned. And foreign brand the better. Best way to get your brand noticed by the well oiled is to charge...

    Aero Jackets Weak/Fragile Zippers

    I am quite happy with the Talon zips on my jackets. Filddly and sometimes annoying I agree but happy to trade out convenience for authenticity. One must remember we are dealing with old designs and not modern ones that have had decades of continuous development. I find the earlier Talon Grommet...

    Is my Aerial Star jacket too short??

    I like wearing my leather jackets with corduroy's either jean or trouser style. The more solid or earthy colours of available corduroy's and the texture can make a nice contrast or match. Nick's jacket looks like an ideal fit for my eyes but I can see different possibilities also. Though...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Even some Nazi's were revolted with what they were doing but they still kept doing it. Read THE GOOD OLD DAYS by Ernst Klee.

    Question about Nitrocellulose Film & Fire Safety

    Try the Nitrateville website. Their are many experts on nitrate film there. I do believe there were a lot of regulations because of its hazardous nature in many countries. Today it requires specialist handling for commercial transportation.

    3 questions about my A2 from the real mccoy's

    If you try all the tips and still need a new zipper, MASH MILITARIA in Japan have NOS Talon zippers. Very reasonable price and they are easy to deal with too. I have one for a spare and it looks the real deal. Here is their website link...
