    Help Identifying Leather Jacket (Tag long gone) maybe a Schott 618?

    If it is a Schott then the laces, belt loops and kidney protection (extra panel at base of back panel) and snap fastener in the collar for the optional fur collar indicate its a 615 - add your own favourite belt - it didn't have one as standard. I think this model was phased out a couple of...

    Hair won't really slick back/part with new pomade?

    Did you brush it backwards while blow drying until nearly dry then apply the preparation by smoothing it on in the direction your hair is lying and then comb it in - this works for me. Alternatively if your hair styles ok when wet try fine tooth combing in the pomade while your hair is still...

    shrinking aero anyone?

    IMHO this thread is becoming a little too bitter and is being kept alive by comments a little more serious than mere banter. I'm going to take Schitzo's advice and not give it another glance.

    shrinking aero anyone?

    Could the 'tension induced buckling' be a result of the tension between shoulder movement and a nearly all the way up zipper slider perhaps on a wet or damp and drying jacket while being worn?

    What are the Oldest Objects you Own?

    I've got some stone age flint arrowheads, knives and scrapers, from the Namibian Desert in North Africa. I bought a set from an antique dealer at the Newark Antiques Fair. He'd collected them some years ago when he was in the military and worked over there. He said they were pretty common...

    "LW Roadmaster" -- Any Information?

    Yup the feature around the pockets is cord piping stitched in from the inside side through a strip of cloth tape. This feature is used on the pockets of the rare early 1960s Schott 631 ms and on the front panels of the AL Spiegel. I found out about the technique when contemplating a repair on a...

Here is a link to the Famous Sheffield Shop where they sell them- there's a brief intro to knife making and a few other interesting things on the site, ( check out the Bowies for...

    Ebay lost the plot! Don't use the word 'style'.....

    I know the feeling - I had a genuine Belstaff taken off sale because some "toaster" (predictive text for a more rude word) had told them it was a fake- It wasn't. I've also had genuine pen cases / boxes delisted as apparently people buy them in order to help sell their fake pens - bad news for...

    A Radio play Brian Sibleys adaptation of 'The Once And Future King' on BBC Radio 4 and iPlayer. It's based on the book by TH White - the same book Disneys 'Sword in the Stone' was based on.
