    Cannabis smell. How to get rid of?

    Is that what that stuff is called? It definitely works well at eliminating smells. My mechanic used something like that to get rid of a very strong dead mouse smell in my car and it was gone in a couple days.

    Cannabis smell. How to get rid of?

    Good advice and I'm glad you quit. Not only should you live longer, but think of all the money you'll save. Seriously, do the math... you can afford more jackets!!! With the spread of legalization will come more medical research and then we will have reason to regret legalization and de facto...

    Here's a photo from 1964 which shows the lining of McQueen's jacket.

    MA-1 Flight jacket

    Were those pilots wearing their old jackets in aircraft, or just while schlepping around base? As Deacon has said, the nomex would likely have been mandatory for pilots and aircrew while flying, but pilots probably still wore their old MA-1 jackets at other times, probably as a subtle reminder...

    Vintage Photos of Leather Jackets

    ^ That's exactly what it is. Non-aircrew wore them, although some aircrew did too as being warmer than an A2. You can get a good repro from At The Front.

    Shooting Coats/Jackets

    I was interested in this stuff back in the 90s and used to collect catalogues from various country retailers. These types have jackets have always been around conservative country types, and I believe they started as the uniforms for keepers etc made up in the estate tweed. At some point...

    Vintage Photos of Leather Jackets

    YES, this, a most excellent post. Looking at Schott's measurements I shake my head, I'm not fit but heck, I have a bigger drop than 2". Most men's suits are 6" drop, and I'm a 4" drop. Who is Schott making for? Men with generous midsections I can only guess, or maybe men who wear motorcycle...

    Really universal winterjackets :-))

    Nice looking jacket. Although there's a certain amount of snob appeal in insisting on wearing only wool or cotton, or leather coats in classic cuts, but in reality modern fibres and insulating liners often perform much better in a range of weather. Wear it well, friend.

    ^ Burberry looks like it might have been made for a specific retailer, i.e. the "VL" on the tag. They've made coats from blended cotton since at least the 1990s and probably the 80s. To be honest blends work better in my experience.

    I haven't seen a moderator on this forum for ages, but on the off chance someone is around, could they please add this question to the big nomex thread we already have?

    Need help identifying this G-1

    ^ I know what you mean, but I'm 100% that the one sleeve is too short. Although the jacket is not hanging "square" on the hanger, it is hanging straight-on to the camera, so there's no perspective distortion; and because both sleeves are hanging straight down from the centre of the shoulder...

    Need help identifying this G-1

    The left sleeve is a few inches shorter than the right sleeve, so be aware this jacket is basically un-wearable.

    MA-1 Flight jacket

    You're correct, old knits were grey in colour, not matching green. However, what's wrong with the knits? The knits in the photo look fine other than that small hole. Unless they're really chewed up bad -- which there is no evidence of in the photo -- don't change them.

    I dare you to post that in a leather thread in this forum!

    Alpha b-15: What a waste of time, energy, and money

    Alpha's jackets have not been intended to be authentic for a long time. Which is fine with me, since their current jackets are very well made, and much better made than the stuff they were making in the USA a decade+ or so ago, even though those have more authentic proportions, etc.

    Were Belstaff jackets originally made with leather?

    ?

    What's the difference between a trenchcoat and a duster?

    Never apologize for reviving an old thread, rather than starting a new thread on the same topic which would cover the same discussion points and be redundant. You've done the right thing!
