    Psychology: The One

    I often think about the psychology behind my jacket collecting and chasing the perfect one. So far Ive noticed that many people never actually find "the one", we cycle through many that are close but not quite there. It made me wonder, is the idea of the perfect jacket a fruitless effort? I...

    So Here's What You've Done To Me

    Oh god this strikes home. It all started for me with a 1970s G-1 Sears knock off that was gifted to me. I was thrilled, untill I wanted a B-6 for a winter jacket, the point of no return when it has to be "Authentic". Be careful, it is a slippery slippery slope. A cycle hard to break. I am...

    Questionable customer service at sm wholesale

    That is really surprising and disappointing. When I ordered mine form him it said in stock, then two or three weeks later I called and he had said they were sold out and waiting on new ones, and I ended up getting mine a week later. It took slightly under a month for me and I wasnt bothered...

    Anyone have an ELC Thunderbird Field?

    Does anyone have an ELC Thunderbird Field Jacket? Id love to see photos of them, and see how they age. How are they in terms of function, nicer than a standard A-1? Warmer? About the same?

    BK Liberty Hide Questions

    My personal theory is that Thedi started the BK line and I bet Andy worked for him. I bet Andy was in the process of buying the BK line from Thedi which could explain the 'pending big announcement' and with the company now his the euro to gbp switch came to recover costs of buying the business...

    Oh I piss and moan about their prices inwardly on the regular, just out of pure agrivation that the Victory Hide is prohibitivly expensive and I want it, but will never never never ever drop $2700 to get it.

    WTT: ELC B-6 Standard sz44

    I have a standard ELC B-6 in size 44 that Id like to trade for a B-6 or D-1 in size 40-42. My chest measures 40 inches on the dot and my 44 is just too big on me now. It is three or 4 years old now. Saw a lot of use and is starting to patina on the arms. Cuffs and zips are balding as they...

    BK Liberty Hide Questions

    I am really torn as to what to do. I want the Duke jacket something fierce but I am so hesitant because of the leather options they have. I wish I could just get Aero to make it for me in one of their hides. I just really dont want to drop a ton of money and pay for customs only to feel like I...

    Your position on patina

    I am a huge fan of patina, but like others have mentioned, the early stages of patina are very unsightly in my opinion. My A-2 is just now coming out of the early stages but still retains some large scuffs that draw attention and its been over 5 years now, I suspect in another 5 years it will...
