    So I was chatting with some girl online...

    Big J is in Japan and comparing his seduction techniques with my (limited) knowledge of Japanese porn, it sounds like he's gone native...

    Show Us Your OVERCOATS

    Ariel, great coat and it fits and suits you perfectly. Always do up the bottom button on overcoats - the rule about leaving the bottom button undone is for suits only. Dinerman, thanks for being you. That polo coat made from "camacuna" is excellent.

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Okay I'm glad you know your size. However vintage clothing of all kinds, including military gear, is never very generous in terms of length, so I suspect you'll be fine with a vintage 38R. Don't judge vintage coats by modern coats. And yes, these coats are supposed to fit a bit longish - they...

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    ^ Gosh, what a great jacket. I'd really like to see Buzz R do a replica of that one!

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    The movie is set in 1960 but I'm wondering if MA-1 jackets had pocket flaps and the medium green colour yet?

    You're quite right, I saw the carrier deck and assumed G1s without looking!

    My Modified A-2; how's the fit?

    The protruding leather vagina effect is sort of unavoidable with heavy leathers since it's got nowhere to go. For example the steerhide coat below: I have found that layers of leather or wool in my armpit is uncomfortable enough to drive me crazy, so I prefer the A-2 non-gusset style. But...

    Alpha A2 fit pic

    Nobody should moan about how they can't afford a top end flight jacket if they smoke, drink, or drive a 12 mpg truck or SUV (or in many cases, all three of those things). I'm not joking; get out your calculator and add up a year's spending on cancer sticks. Let's say $5.50 per pack, once a week...

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    ^ That's strange they would report windchill, not the actual temperature. One can be measured scientifically, the other can be measured scientifically only once a variety of local conditions are measured and combined, conditions which change from locale to locale. Weird. It dipped below...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    I don't know why people are so dogmatic on the interweb, but then they often are in real life too. I think the most important features of a trenchcoat are double-breasted buttoning and a belt, with shoulder straps and D-rings optional. I know the history of these coats quite well and I'm not...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Here's a coat currently offered by H&M which has a nice simple design.

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    It's one of those ways in which language changes. Another good example is the term "blazer" which is almost always mis-used!

    Leather Police Jackets

    Here's an incredible NYPD motorcycle coat which is listed on e-Bay at the moment for a very low starting bid (nothing to do with me). I presume it's vintage, but maybe someone like Dinerman will know by the tag, etc. The NYPD highway unit still wears coats like this, but shorter and minus the...

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Are you saying you're a 38 Short? How do you know that? Do you need a shorter coat or do you just like shorter coats? Generally speaking, it's better for the sleeves and hem to be a bit long, and if you don't like the general proportions of vintage peacoats then perhaps look for something...
