    The GREAT BRITISH DUFFEL COAT thread

    These are photos of a designed called Thomas Heatherwick posing in what appears to be a vintage duffle coat. It has an interesting 'extra' toggle mounted low to close the skirts of the coat; this is a modification which I've seen in a book on uniforms and which I think I posted about earlier in...

    The GREAT BRITISH DUFFEL COAT thread

    (from Getty Images) The two photos below show the variant with buttons instead of toggles. The photos below show the navy blue version. "Watch where you point that thing, seaman!" Michael Wilding and Liz Taylor. Here's post-war civilian use of a surplus military coat.

    I realize this is an outerwear forum, but these shoes are nice to look at and fondle in their Manhattan store: http://barkerblack.com/. Not cheap though, and not everyone will want a skull and crossbones motif on their footwear.

    On that note, if you go into the Met Museum of Art keep in mind that there is no entrance fee. They have booths where you can pay a fee with signs above which list prices, but there is no fee. They work hard to make it look like you have to pay a fee and the security guards will hassle you if...

    New York, New York...

    If you want to get a taste of the lost days of 1970s NYC, plus have a thousand choices for dinner or drinks, I suggest walking about the East Village (1st and 2nd Avenues and Avenue A and the east/west Streets surrounding them, plus the small streets which reach down to Delancy). This area has...

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Here's some good quality publicity shots from The Sand Pebbles (click for larger images). McQueen is wearing a newer, civilian pea coat with the 8 of the 10 buttons mounted lower on the coat, whereas Attenborough is wearing what appears to be a military coat with correct spacing (and some extra...

    Lets see your Balloon Tire Bikes

    Thank goodness for the 'front page' of this site or I would never have known this thread existed. I'm surprised but delighted and happy to see guys restoring old bicycles. Much more interesting than restoring yet another 60s Mustang...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    As long as you don't take it in the washroom at the office you should be okay. Does everyone remember that washroom selfie taken by someone without realizing there was someone having a 'sit down' in a stall behind them? I think it was posted on Style Forum originally.

    Fit Compromises in eBay jackets

    And things have changed over time: a size 42 jacket from 1942 fits much differently than a size 42 jacket from 2016, even though the chest measurement might be similar. One simply has to look at enough old black and white photos to see that the 'average' Joe's body morphology has changed over time.

    Fit Compromises in eBay jackets

    Once you own enough jackets, and gotten rid of enough jackets, you'll realize what measurements vary between them and by how much, and then you'll know what you 'can get away with' in terms of measurements. So the key is to buy, buy, buy... er, on second thought, maybe that's not very helpful...

    Here's some Sloane Rangers in the 1980s in quilted jackets, I'm guessing Puffa.

    ALL ORIGINAL Irvin RAF type Jackets - Loving that Wolf in sheeps' clothing!

    Thanks for mentioning that Trenton has a museum. When I was on the tow rope course with Air Cadets in 1990 they gave us the run of the base but I didn't realize they had a museum. The next time I'm heading up to Ottawa I'll make sure to stop.

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    Thanks for the i.d., man. I was wondering what brand that jacket was. I had originally assumed Alpha, since they have some slim fit jackets which are similar.
