    Trouser break on shoes

    I remember you saying that you had ordered them, Sloan - so how are they now you have them? I've only ever seen them in the catalogues. I'd love to know how you rate them. Thanks.

    removing sticker residue (glue?) from Goat skin

    Hello again - and sorry for the delay belfastboy, and no, I hadn't forgotten you. Just a difficult day at work here. Now, I lifted out the Goo Gone from home and noted that, on the label, it says "do not use on leather". I thought that was odd as it says it's safe on laundry as a pre-wash! And...

    removing sticker residue (glue?) from Goat skin

    No problem. Will let you know tomorrow what it does - if anything … Better safe than sorry, eh?

    removing sticker residue (glue?) from Goat skin

    Goo Gone is oily - I can't see it harming leather - and it says it's safe on clothing/upholstery. But trying a little on an inconspicuous area - or piece of spare piece of goatskin - would be the way to go for sure. If you (and the auction) can wait, I can bring some of our Goo Gone from home...

    removing sticker residue (glue?) from Goat skin

    I'd apply a little dish soap and water via a cloth, then wiping with a dry gauze would be the first thing I'd try. Goo Gone would be the next thing I'd try … http://googone.com/Products/Original-Surface-Safe-Cleaners/Goo-Gone,-4oz.aspx Then, if it works, I'd clean again with soap and water.

    A-2 Jacket - Interior Modifications?

    Firstly, welcome to TFL !!! You may wish to consider a 352nd A2 - http://www.eastmanleather.com/type-352nd-fighter-group-p-208.html - the one that has the large interior pockets made of parachute pack canvas - originally designed as a modification to stow escape gear (escape maps, chocolate...

    Aero jacket contrasting stitching question

    Oh, I'm sure that having bullion patches made is costly and the jacket certainly looks great and, as such, exudes expense. I was just meaning the final cost in general for what is, at the end of the day, a B-3 jacket; 1400 quid + VAT + shipping (or in my case, + customs & duties + customs...

    Aero jacket contrasting stitching question

    P.S. Just had an email from ELC about their new releases for Autumn/Winter 2015 and on there there's their Werber "General Patton Edition" B-3. Russet leather. HH facings. A beautiful bullion patch. It's a spot-on reproduction of the original! But the first thing I did was to look at the price...

    Latest leather unit patch works ......

    Very nice - and very interesting! I always say "anomalies abound" where patches are concerned, and this is a great example of that! Nice work!

    Aero jacket contrasting stitching question

    Although I don't know the Aero jacket in question, I can say that I understand your caution about the contrast stitching; I had the same hesitation when I first looked at a RW ELC B-3 - the russet hide type and it had olive drab (OD) stitching, and it gave me serious pause to wonder how that OD...

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    I had the B-6 on for both dog walks this morning - and the ELC C-3 under that (!), so YES, I did enjoy this morning's walk, thank you DD - like yesterday's. But what tires me in this city is the wind. I know Chicago is known as "the windy city", but being on a mountain bike every day in four...

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    So yesterday I said "What a difference a day makes" as we went from shorts and t-shirt weather to my heavy cargo pants and ANJ-3. This morning I wore my ANJ-3 again for the first pre-dawn dog walk - and needed to switch up to the ELC B-6 for the second! It was that chilly with the 5C and the...

    Show Me Your Jacket Accoutrements

    Thanks Bunyip and IXL! And that's a nice 15th AAF/Capri disc, Rocketeer! It must be something like a Capri bell-type souvenir from a local bazaar/market. It's in great condition. Really unique and very nice. Perfect for a XV AAF-themed jacket!

    My Teamster and A10 Gloves, IN ACTION at Aysgarth Falls!

    HP sauce. It's a dark and more savoury version of tomato ketchup and is like A1 steak sauce but better - comes as regular (good for dark meat) and fruity (milder - good with chicken). Either work really well with sausage sandwiches or eggs and bacon breakfasts. I miss good sausage sandwiches...
