    Talon Zipper Dating….rabbit hole.

    I believe it is only on triple marked separating talon zippers. I have only seen the serial numbers on the stopper box, not sliders. It could be on others too, I have just not seen it yet. Also I don’t know the last year that Talon put their name on the stopper box of this style zipper but I...

    Talon Zipper Dating….rabbit hole.

    I believe it is supposed to be Letter then Number. I think my zipper where it was reversed was an accidental misstamp. All of the other examples I have seen have had the letter first

    Talon Zipper Dating….rabbit hole.

    Why wouldn’t you want to know more accurately what you have? It’s more in the interest of having more precise information, and it’s really exciting to know that you can get exact zipper dates. If I go around believing and telling people the jacket I’m wearing is 1935 to 1937 when it’s not...

    Talon Zipper Dating….rabbit hole.

    In my case my Woolrich jacket I was convinced was 1937-1938 judging by the style and label details. When looking at the zipper serial number and noting that it was not a replacement, the zipper serial number translated January 1940. So in this situation I was able to pinpoint the year I dare...

    Talon Zipper Dating….rabbit hole.

    I like old zippers. I think they are way cool and so I wanted to find out if there was an even more comprehensive and exact way to date talon zippers than the photo comparison I’ve seen posted here many times. I recently noticed that on the bottom of the stopper box on my triple marked talon...

    White D-1 Jacket and Aero Refusal

    Correct, it was three emails with no real explanation offered in their emails. It took creating this post to finally get a straight answer from them. I am appreciative that I finally have clarity on the issue, but it should not have taken three emails and a forum thread with 9 posts to do it...

    White D-1 Jacket and Aero Refusal

    They never made the distinction between the custom work they will do, and they did not explain why they would not do it in this instance. I figured that it could be due to historical accuracy, but they never even said that. For all I know, I historical accuracy may not even be their reason...

    White D-1 Jacket and Aero Refusal

    In the string of emails I had with Aero, they made no distinction between the custom work on civilian and maintaining accuracy with the military line. Had they at least offered any kind of explanation similar to what Monitor said about preserving those specific styles, then I would have been...

    White D-1 Jacket and Aero Refusal

    So I’ve decided I want a natural white hide D-1 Jacket. Much like the B-7 Parka or the very Early B-3s. I know it’s not historically accurate, but it’s captured my interest something fierce. I contacted Aero thinking surely they would make me one, as theirs is the pattern I want and they...
