    Help ID Bundeswehr? Jacket

    German AF officer and Canadian Forces officer on U.S. airbase. German AF NCO on another U.S. airbase, must be an exchange thing. They look like rather nice jackets, if you don't mind grey. Here's a seller on e-Bay...

    Help ID Bundeswehr? Jacket

    I came across a German company that makes police and military clothing and equipment named Beckumer Leder-Bekleidungswerk GmbH. The screenshot below is from their website. It's a different design, obviously, but similar.

    Leather Police Jackets

    I took another close look at those green leathers and the quality of the leather and construction appear to be excellent. I can't imagine what they would cost brand new in today's market where the price of leather and manufacturing is a lot more expensive than the 1980s!

    Leather Police Jackets

    ^ Although I've never been to Germany, I've seen lots of photos etc, and I really liked the green West German police uniforms and the overall "civilian" vibe they gave off. The new blue or black gear makes them look like American SWAT team cops, which may not be a good image. I find the general...

    Real McCoy's USA web store open

    Exactly right. I don't see the appeal at all. Thanks for the breath of fresh air. Speaking generally, there's no upper limit on price. Better to spend the thousands of dollars instead on an auto repair training scheme and get a job fixing cars. Then after spending 8 hours 5 days a week in an...

    Hiding stitching (needle) holes in leather - can it be done?

    I'd say that on an old leather jacket some holes and scrapes and whatehaveyou would add character. Also, if the holes are barely visible, then it's pretty likely that you're the only person who will notice them. Just wear it and ignore the holes. Life is short.

    German police motorcycle jacket and pants. Not sure of the age, but I believe 1980s based on photos I've seen. Looks like great quality gear.

    Navy WEP Jacket: Your Thoughts & Experiences

    Here's a couple interesting comments on WEP jackets from a thread on airwarriors.com: 1. That is actually a Winter Flying (Suit) jacket that could be attached to matching pants and worn in conjuction with a "poppy suit". Many call it the "WEP" jacket, but that is an Urban Legend created by...

    burberry trench coat identification 1930 `s- 1960`s

    Probably nobody knows, not even Burberry (and they don't care). The majority of companies are terrible at keeping records of their past products, if they even tracked their products in the first place. Rolls Royce is a notable exception, but that company doesn't even exist anymore as a...

    Ted Williams, baseball player, in Korea. The third photo is a baseball card, which I imagine is the only baseball card depicting a player wearing flight gear!
