    Proper shirt collars

    Just been up in the loft and dug these out... from left to right, CC41 Newtex 1 1/2 inch high at back, 3 inch point at front. (I'm guessing this one is just post-war, maybe demob.) The "Old England" Regd. SHAPE LS. Pre-war. 1 1/2 inch at back, 4 inch point at front. Climax...

    Proper shirt collars

    Kostya, I have a bundle of my grandfathers detachable collars at home, all from before he was called up in '39. He was a very dapper young chap back then, and I know one of the collars was really thin and pointy, I'll try and remember to dig them out of the loft tonight and photograph them...

    Any B-15 experts out there?...

    I've got nothing similar to compare the fabric with, but your right, it is a very heavy cord. Oh, and no pen pocket on the sleeve either...

    Any B-15 experts out there?...

    I quite like the idea of i being a USN jacket, but I'd have thought it would have had that stenciled somewhere, either behind the collar like the G-1's or on the breast, like the deck jackets? The lack of anything like this makes me lean towards civvie, after all the advice and knowledge...

    IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!

    I totally agree, there is oodles of history tied up in this jacket, wartime and post war, you summed it up much better than I could Paddy. It's been 'resting' for a few years, but I think it deserves to be worn again! Don't worry, the BSA A10 on the back is definately staying! (I don't think...

    Show us your vintage home!

    WOW! You guys have some pretty cool pads :cool: Here's a couple of our front room, the most period room in our little 1929 mid-terrace house - We soon got fed up with the TV spoiling the whole ambience of the room, so we found an old '40's Utility cupboard, and now...

    IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!

    Ebay bargain 'BSA' Irvin! My very beat up Irvin bought off ebay in March '06, well what do you expect for £16?! Classic scenario of being vaguely listed, so didn't get many people looking at it. I think I was just doing a search on 'old flying jacket'. The seller...

    Any B-15 experts out there?...

    Brilliant, cheers for information fellas! '50's civvie it is then :) I can't wait for it too cool down now so I can wear it ;) I'll look out on ebay for some cheap knits now... The zip is a talon by the way. Tony, I studied illustration here in the early '90's, and ended up staying...

    Any B-15 experts out there?...

    Interesting.... Nobody worry about upsetting me by saying it's not a B-15 please! I'm more than happy with the look of the jacket, I'm not bothered if it's military or civilian to be honest! I much prefer the B-10 size collar to the larger B-15, and the slash B-15 style pockets are much...

    Any B-15 experts out there?...

    Hello from a brand spanking newbie ;) I found you while doing some research on B-15's after a recent fleabay purchase, can any of you fellas out there help? I'm just after a bit more info on them, and a bit more of a positive ID and age of mine. I've taken a couple of piccies, but as we're...
