    Vintage Photos of Leather Jackets

    Great photos, thanks for posting. It never ceases to interest me how common short waist-length leather jackets were in the old days, and the dizzying variety of styles and configurations. Short leather jackets are still popular I guess, but only as motorcycle or flight jackets.

    Vintage Barbour jackets

    I have a quilt from the late 90s with the embroidered Barbour on the pocket. I think the badge appeared on the waxed jackets in the late 2000s.

    Reference book for vintage leather jackets

    The book below is quite good, although it's 99.9% photos. There is almost no text and my knowledge isn't good enough to check the accuracy of what little there is. However, the range and variety of vintage American leather jackets is astounding spanning several decades, starting in the 1920s...

    Japanese Flight Jacket Books

    The book below is quite good, although it's 99.9% photos. If you know what you're looking at, then great. The text is useless, and in a few places incorrect. With those limitations in mind, it's a nice coffee table book to keep handy when you want to sit down for a few minutes and flip through a...

    O'Connells Harrington Baracuta Jacket

    I did not know that. I guess they've gone fashion-forward? I know from experience that O'Connells take quality and fit seriously, so it's a safe bet this clone is tip top. With luck someone will have direct experience, though.

    Are prices for Vintage Leather jackets getting a bit insane?

    $4800 for an original L2A, with moth holes and a cig burn on the nylon you'd think at that price they could throw in free shipping http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Vintage-A-PRITZKER-Navy-Blue-L-2A-Army-USAF-US-AIR-FORCE-Flight-Bomber-Jacket-/142249530381?hash=item211ebb940d:g:R6AAAOSwA3dYftHY

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    I just got a copy of this book (see below) from Japan. In the first section it's got a bunch of peacoats and bridge coats shown, from various periods, most from the 1910s. The bridge coats they call "peacoats (long)" and they literally look like standard peacoats with long skirts. They show a...

    New Aero Stockist in Canada!

    With all due respect, gear not made in the U.S. Canada or Mexico entering Canada is subject to full duties, in this case 18%, so it makes sense to incorporate that into calculations, even though (as you say) so far Customs Canada has overlooked this when it comes to HPA shipments. Canadian...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    ^ I have one of those Kingsgate coats, haven't worn it yet, nice coat. However the one in the link doesn't have the 5 equally spaces rows stitching on the belt and the gun flap is square and comes to the second row of buttons. It's hard to explain in words - I'll dig out some photos tonight to...

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    Oh man, 3 feet! That's nuts Worf! We got the powder but not the wind, so it didn't drift. And it's going to melt slowly over the next few days. The roads will be dry by the end of today.

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    ^ That illustration is a vintage Aquascutum image, hence the unique half-moon shaped gun flap, the five rows of stitching on the belt, and the buttons on the corners of the pocket flaps. Those were distinct Aquascutum details, now no longer used by the firm. Burberry and others had other details.

    New Aero Stockist in Canada!

    We will NOT avoid duties or taxes, this company will simply roll duties and taxes into their prices. But it will mean this company will deal with the hassles of international shipping, etc, and if the company does enough volume they will be able to reduce some of the import costs via bulk. So...
