    Wested Tomorrow Never Dies jacket

    Here's a good closeup of one of the original movie jackets, although the cuff straps are different than the jacket Brosnan wore, so this might have been a stuntman's jacket. The Wested version is good but needs a thinner leather and a wider belt. I realize the company is amenable to...

    Leather U Boat Jackets

    I'm with you on this point. I've also been considering their 3/4 belted 007 jacket and I'd want it in a thinner leather, not their default heavy cow or steerhide.

    Leather U Boat Jackets

    Here's a heartfelt blog post about the Wested u-boat/Doctor Who coat. It looks really good in black. http://timeladyserenity.tumblr.com/post/52910394104/i-just-want-to-talk-about-my-leather-jacket-his

    Where are all of the Russian/USSR leather jackets

    I've seen photos of Sov troops on maneuvers in April or May wearing insulated jackets with fur collars, etc. Parts of that country have looooong winters (northern Canada, too).

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    I'm definitely interested in getting a shorter single-breasted raincoat for days when I'm not walking anywhere, for when a big trench is just too much. You're in the UK so you still have the option to walk, depending on where you live; over here walking is rarely an option!

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Different functionality, different situations. On shorter coats just the slit is better if one is getting in and out of a car, since it can be quickly smoothed under your backside. In those situations the box pleat with button tab that keeps it closed are too easily re-pressed by sitting on them...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Monitor might not realize that with his long hair and long facial hair having a collar on his jacket helps balance out his appearance which I doubt a racer collar would. He kinda looks like Christian Bale in one of those Batman movies when he's locked in the underground prison or something.

    Where are all of the Russian/USSR leather jackets

    For a few years in recent years RUS police wore leather jackets, but those are phasing out.

    Where are all of the Russian/USSR leather jackets

    There's an older thread on this topic somewhere around here (no comment). Plus there's a detailed thread on the US Militaria forum or whatever it's called. The reality is that the Sovs had one design of leather jacket for pilots which they didn't change for decades. They still have the same...

    Sometimes I wonder if people who design and make clothes actually look at clothes.

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    I've been eyeing those new "Bogart" coats. They're not actually accurate to Bogey's coat, which is seen in those photos of him with one foot on the running board of an old car, but they appear to be top quality coats nonetheless. One detail on those new coats which interests me in particular is...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Here's an extraordinary old trench coat which was on the UK e-Bay site recently. This is basically a perfect design, in my opinion.

    Shooting Coats/Jackets

    Here's a really early shooting coat variant in corduroy, long before the 'estate tweed' versions moved beyond the keepers and became so ubiquitous. You don't see much in corduroy today but I'd buy a coat like this today.
