    WW2 USAAF embossed wings

    If you're interested in incised leather and some the jackets above are for the MTO, then I can recommend Roberto at italianpatchmaker.it as he did the patches for my MTO-themed jacket. He has just remade the group patch for Lucky Dog, my Aero ANJ-3 - I wanted another making in more complementary...

    B3 Jacket. Aero or Lost Worlds??? Recommendations appreciated

    Well, let's look at the numbers ... Lost Worlds B-3 is US$ 1700 = CDN$2278.94. Aero B-3 is 725 Pounds = CDN$1216.72 So the Aero B-3 is over a thousand dollars less than the LW B-3 (thanks to a favourable UK exchange rate for you right now. The US exchange rate is bad for us, as you know) and if...

    Redskin B3 Hides across brands?

    Hi Xopher, I cannot speak as to how authentic Goodwear or Aero are with their Redskin leathers as I have had no experience with them - but as someone who has both an ELC RW B-6 and B-3 from 2006/7, yes, the leathers were different back then as they were made of a rich, smooth grain leather and...

    Can anyone help with info about the Eastman A2 color, "Havana Brown"?

    Hello TKILH, and a warm welcome to the Lounge! The first time I heard the term Havana Brown was when ELC released their two A2 jackets which were copies of the ones they made for the movie Pearl Harbor - and I always merely took it that they named it that as a way to associate that name with...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Here’s my ELC RW B-6 (made in 2006) that I’m wearing again after it had a new Crown zip fitted to its front by ELC – at no charge at all! (Thank you Gary!!!) The main zip gave up on me over a year ago, so it sat out last year’s Fall and Spring in the closet – and I can say that I really missed...

    Original A2 by Star

    Great find, Highhope! I'm as envious as I am pleased for you! It fits you to a T and just screams authenticity. Be gentle with it! It's a keeper!

    Is there a line and, if so, how/where do you draw it?

    In answer to the second part of the question posed in the thread, I would say that my girlfriend draws the line for me these days - she's curbed many (but not all) of my former excesses, which is no bad thing in the grand scheme of things. As for the former part, I think the line for me is "Can...

    An India based business fakes it all!

    It's simply outrageous.

    A very COLD Winter forecast for Canucks. Feel an ANJ-4/N3-B coming on?

    ...and I'm sure it's a heavy beast and with a single gear too in the snow?! I'd need an iron lung at the end of the ride! But it's a beauty of a bike. I keep that image in my list of favorite photos ... it'd go with all my jackets!

    A very COLD Winter forecast for Canucks. Feel an ANJ-4/N3-B coming on?

    Ha!Ha! I hear you about T.O. ... but I don't ride the streets. That's nuts!! I ride the park systems from one end to the other, far from the madding crowd - and I'm spared the madness of the streets plus the miserable and offensive pushing and shoving, lack of manners, spitting, lack of respect...

    A very COLD Winter forecast for Canucks. Feel an ANJ-4/N3-B coming on?

    Hey, I hear you. And when it's +35C and baking and humid, it just sucks the life right out of me. But -35C makes me feel more alive! It's exhilarating. And the fact of it all is, I just feel better dressed in Fall/Winter/Spring! I just do. And I just know what looks good on me in those seasons...

    A very COLD Winter forecast for Canucks. Feel an ANJ-4/N3-B coming on?

    Hot damn! I know I said it before, but that is one storming jacket you have there, Radz! The fluffiness in the wool will have settled to perfection by Winter's end and I think it's probably the best D-1 I've ever seen on TFL. I mean it. You know how girls go to the hairdressers with a copy of...

    A very COLD Winter forecast for Canucks. Feel an ANJ-4/N3-B coming on?

    Hey, you could be riding a mountain bike beside me - I sometimes wish i could have a heated saddle to go with the metal-studded snow/ice tyres! The coldest I've managed the ride through the park systems is in a windchill of -37C; when the gears cease to function, I find. Then it's time to be...

    A very COLD Winter forecast for Canucks. Feel an ANJ-4/N3-B coming on?

    To my fellow Canadians: I know we're all just coming out of a roasting Summer that has felt like us all being in a fan-assisted oven set to Gas Mark 4, but I just saw this long-range forecast via the Farmer's Almanac: http://farmersalmanac.com/weather-outlook/2017-winter-forecast/canada-2016-17/...

    What goes with your A2?

    I just got a baseball cap from the Ideal Cap Co. in khaki cotton twill to go with my Aero ANJ-3. They look perfect together - and it's soooo well made! It's a real treat to have a ball cap made the way they used to be and that has the perfect fit. http://idealcapco.com/World-War-2-Caps.html

    My New Aero D1 Shearling Jacketm

    That's one of the best D-1's I've ever seen! Great colours, leathers, the sheepskin is just fantastic and the cut is perfect for you. Bravo! And it suits you well. And thanks for posting with great photos!

    USAF N-3B parkas - Let's talk about them!!

    Hi EarlGrey, I'd say that Skyine is one of the more preferable makers (mine is an Albert Turner. I consider them to be good too) - but I'd try to veer towards the earlier vintages if funds and time allow. Just keep trawling the websites and see as many as you can - and you'll get a good sense of...

    Alexander Leathers vintage black FQHH

    ... and to add to Willytoo's advice to wear the jacket as often as possible, wear the jacket in all weathers too. The bad especially.
