    Cleaning a vintage Crombie overcoat?

    Dry cleaning. Wool coats can be cleaned at home if you're careful. I have a friend who has an expensive camel hair overcoat and he washes it himself every few years. I can't find his email about it, but I think he did it by sloshing it around in the bathtub with cold water and a bit of...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    This is one of those mysteries likely never to be solved. I think it's the same coat Bogart wore in The Big Sleep when he's casing out the porn photographer's house for the first time, although I'd have to check photos. If so, then it was likely his personal coat and perhaps custom made for him...

    Fonzie's Jacket No Longer On Display At Smithsonian

    For me the whole Griswold family thing was the family of a friend of mine, so yeah, sometimes what we see in the movie and pop culture isn't always pumped up for dramatic effect.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    You have my sympathies. We're into our second week of 28C and sun, here in Ontariario. August has come a month late this year.

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    Good thing you didn't lose the house completely. Lots of empty space up north in the Rust Belt, or in southern Canuckistan. We even get high 80s F in the summer with 100% humidity, so you can sort of feel like being back in Florida. Good jacket weather for a full 6 months of the year.

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    London Fog coat, from a few years back. They don't make these classic designs anymore as far as I can tell.

    How do you decide when it's time to sell a jacket?

    I tend to wear the sh*t out of one item for year or a few, then sideline it. I just did that with my fav old trench coat: I've been wearing it every winter, all winter, for the past five or six years, getting it quite dirty in the process. I just had it dry cleaned and have now put it into the...

    How do you decide when it's time to sell a jacket?

    Oh that's a harsh post... you're lucky this is an online bulletin board, not a real-world one, or someone might jam a push pin into your finger or something! ha ha

    How do you decide when it's time to sell a jacket?

    Anything that fits well and looks good should stay, even if you don't wear it much (or at all), and especially if a lot of money was spent on it. I have a bunch of jackets and overcoats I never wear but they're simply too nice to get rid of; maybe I will someday if I find someone that I know...

    Wested Tomorrow Never Dies jacket

    Here's two photos from the Bonham's website. The jacket on the left was worn by Brosnan in the movie; the jacket on the right is from the movie and was likely a stuntman's jacket (note the different proportions and how the wrist straps are sewn down so as not to catch on props) and is similar to...

    N-3B PARKA CARE AND FEEDING

    Dry cleaning. Could the moderators merge this thread and the other new one ("What's Inside") into the big N3B thread? Then we'll have all discussion in one place for reference. Thanks.

    WHAT'S INSIDE ?

    I've got an Albert Turner from the mid 50s and a couple inches of stitching has come undone so I can see inside. The insulation is white and fuzzy and looks like cheap shearling but is a blend of wool and cotton, probably scraps and off-cuts shredded up and blended. It looks like the inside of a...

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    ^ It must have been one of those, since they're ideal for the sort of task I was describing. My memory is telling me it was a bit smaller, but I guess those Buffalo's are pretty small. Thanks!
