    Ordering Japanese Real McCoys...

    Alan, I too am a fan of those 30's German moto leathers, particularly with the slant button front. Hein Geicke made a few versions some years ago and these occasionally come on German ebay, but are usually to small for me. [44] I bought one recently for £30 and will post some shots when I...

    BUZZ RICKSON B2 FLIGHT JACKET

    They are like chalk and cheese. The BR is like a pair of supermarket jeans, but the LW is like a pair of old style Levis. I think all B2's should have the collar strap. John

    brass buckles aging

    As an antiques restorer I have antiqued hundreds if not thousands of pieces of brass copper and bronze. As Andrew states in his post the problem is not to contaminate the leather surrounding the work piece. Some items will have been coated with lacquer to help maintain their bright appearance...

    Noble House Shop

    I bought a Kanal jacket from them. It was cheap at £150. They are made in S. America from very thin sheepskin and have nasty plastic zips. I sent mine back by return of post for a full refund. I can't recommend them. John

    BUZZ RICKSON B2 FLIGHT JACKET

    Hi Rufus, I have the same jacket also the much heavier version made by Lost Worlds. The collar of my BR B2 has a slightly unpleasant smell, almost an animal kind of scent. Have you noticed this ? I like this pattern jacket so much that I plan to order a Werber B2 and Switlick Parachute B1...

    Swedish Tanker Jackets

    Thanks for the translation. I have three of these. A black, a very dark brown and a russet. I think they are all very thick goatskin although I have been told that some jackets are Elk hide. I suppose they are similar to the 'Rocketeer' jacket. But I think they are even more stylish and...

    Swedish Tanker Jackets

    Thanks for the link. I can't understand Swedish unfortunately. It's a shame it has side handwarmer pockets unlike originals. John

    Swedish Tanker Jackets take two

    I have just bought this from a seller in Germany. It is the same basic pattern as the others except that there is no map pocket and there are two [original] side pockets. The buttons are held on with wire loops and the bottom fastens with four snaps rather than the hooks and loop. The lining...

    Some Aero Leathers

    Aero are very good at sending out large samples of leather. Ones from Eastman tend to be rather small. John
