    LEVI LVC "1914 CHINOS" (1920's khaki trousers)

    I’m selling these rare LVC (Levi Vintage Clothing) chinos. This is the “1914 Chino” they offered several years ago. It’s an exact copy of a pair in Levi’s archival collection. Despite the title I believe they actually date to the early 1920s. If you’re looking for a pair of...

    LVC/AERO 1930's LEATHER BIKE JACKET

    I am selling my LVC (Levi Vintage Clothing) copy of a 1930’s Levi Strauss black horsehide biker jacket. These were a limited edition made for Levi by AERO LEATHER in Scotland about 4 or 5 years ago and produced for just one season, so you won‘t find any in the shops. Levi marketed this...

    What do you look like?

    hi....it's a non sheepskin AN-J-4! The AN-J-4 (Army navy jacket type 4) was a joint Army/Navy design procured in 1943 and based on the USN M445. My jacket is actually a modern jacket ( I have very few modern clothes, but I had to make an exception for this!) It was a limited edition made...

    Way to go!

    major fan here. I love (and play) a wide variety of musics, but when push comes to shove I'd have to cite WS as my favourite genre.

    Sassy Boy!!!

    Indeed! As for "fabric softener", it sounds extremely dubious stuff.

    Sex, fear and looting: survivors disclose untold stories of the Blitz

    It was my elderly great-aunt who first alerted me to this other side of the Home Front. It was in the 70s when there was one of those periodic scares about street crime, and she casually mentioned that she had been mugged during the war. When I pressed her further she said it was during the...

    THE UK WIDEBOYS ?

    The terms “spiv” and “wideboy” were still common currency when I was a boy in the 1950s. They referred to underworld characters and were very loose and overlapping categories. I suppose the core definition of “spiv” would be a flashily dressed character involved in the black market...

    Road to Perdition?1930's era films

    "I'm talkin' about friendship. I'm talkin' about character. I'm talkin' about--hell, Leo, I ain't embarassed to use the word--I'm talkin' about ethics..." you gotta love a film that starts like that! In fact several Coen brothers films could be contenders in this thread.

    Fair Isle sweaters

    The definition problem isn’t quite the same as the champagne/sparkling white thing. The problem is that “Fair Isle” hasn’t just become a generic term for any knitwear that copies Fair Isle patterns, it has become a generic term for (a) any woollen jumper with a vaguely similar pattern to...

    Fair Isle sweaters

    that's really nice HBK. And not at all frumpy. Just wait till you're 70 though..... Here's some sleeveless pullys, the first two I'm selling at the moment, the others I've sold recently. They range from 1940s to 1980s, Fair Isle patterns to solid bodies (and one Argyle), home hand knitted to...

    Tell me about Harris Tweed?

    you'll find plenty, particularly in the charity (thrift) shops in the small country towns. Mostly "modern" i.e. 1960s-90s. Typical price about £5.

    Road to Perdition?1930's era films

    I take it you like Miller's Crossing! Me too. One of my favourite films from any era about any era.

    Fair Isle sweaters

    He's a Shetland fiddler. Which makes him seriously cool in my book. The Shetlands are as famous for their fantastic fiddle tradition as their knitwear. I don't mind that frumpy image. When I was young I always liked the old men sitting around allotments smoking pipes. And as I grew older I...
