    Thoughts on leather of Schott leather jackets!

    Sure, but if you want waterproof leather -- such as on a motorcycle jacket -- then you probably need the pores sealed, and possibly accept a shorter life (if it's true). I think it's kind of an armchair discussion, since most people will probably never wear out their jackets in their lifetime...

    That's, what Barbourism should look like!

    Great observations... that pocket does seem a bit dodgy, now that I look at it. One thing I don't like is that it's so long that the belt overlaps and rubs on the bottom corner of it.

    Oh yeah, he's gonna have a big one sooner or later, which might be his plan.

    Leather Police Jackets

    No jacket in this post, simply an obit for a Montreal policeman who was a real character. Worth reading. LINK

    Peacoats from the world...

    Ukrainian peacoat. This is virtually identical to the one I have. Mine also has the tag which is printed on a piece of cloth and sewn in only at the corner. I wonder if that means it's a fake coat? I think these coats are common enough and cheap enough that they wouldn't be worth faking, but who...

    Thoughts on leather of Schott leather jackets!

    Oren Schott clearly states in the comments thread on the Schott website that the steerhide they use has had the pores of the leather sealed in the tanning process. This does not involve the application of a substance or chemical to finished leather, instead it's accomplished as part of the...

    That's, what Barbourism should look like!

    Looking at the Barbour website yesterday the only classic models I could find were the Beaufort and Bedale, neither of which I have ever considered the true classic country jackets. Even in ye olden dayes those were both "urban" jackets being too short for most rural activities or serious...

    That's, what Barbourism should look like!

    Thanks Edward. I agree, at that price I wouldn't be out much $$ if it's mediocre. I don't motorcycle so I don't need anything too serious. Shipped to Canada it would around $130, whereas an International would be $900... Here's an old advertisement. Nice 'stache and tiny helmet.

    That's, what Barbourism should look like!

    I have a book which shows two Belstaff Trialmaster jackets from the 1960s. One has the tilted pocket, the other squared up. So you're right it definitely wasn't a recent, fashion decision by Belstaff. Do you know for a fact or from personal experience that Speedwear makes good gear? I've been...

    Bush Jackets

    Question: where might I be able to source some buckles? I have two used safari jackets both of which have slide-through belts and buckles (i.e. no grommets). Both buckles are too roomy to provide much friction, so the belts quickly loosen when wearing, which drives me nuts naturally. I am hoping...

    Peacoats from the world...

    Russian sailors (click for large pic). These appear to be newer coats with 10 buttons instead of the earlier 12, and less shaping in the torso.

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    I understand, but with respect this thread is dedicated to USN coats only. We have a thread for "peacoats of the world" which would be a good place to post those pics and perhaps some discussion will generate (link below). I have some pics I should post there, too...

    It looks very nice, I like the proportions. The Soviet/Russian ones are nice too, but of low quality.

    USAF N-3B parkas - Let's talk about them!!

    Sizing for vintage military nylon or modern-day military? I posted the official size chart earlier in this thread for the modern day military parkas, although they chart isn't very accurate in my limited experience. Even so, these fit super wide in the chest and shoulders, but a bit short in the...
