    ALL REPRO R.A.F. Irvin type jackets

    Like Devilish, I love Renapur. And I just used the more liquid Renapur "Hi-Shine" on my Irvin again - goes on a treat. And all-natural.

    Your winter season forecast for 2014/2015: BRRRRRRR!!!!!

    Yes. I've noticed that the weather people on TV always add at least 10C for the windchill, so -15C feels like -25C at least, or so they always say … and it was down to -22C at nights. It was when those 3 or 4 homeless people died in one week … and that photo was taken first thing in the morning...

    Your winter season forecast for 2014/2015: BRRRRRRR!!!!!

    My (new to me but late 50's) N3-B - taken a few weeks ago when it was feeling like -28C with the wind-chill. But the jacket is blanket-lined and so toasty and I LOVE it. I feel like I'm cheating on my Irvin and B-3 after all these decades of loyalty! Last night/today we've got a big load of...

    Your winter season forecast for 2014/2015: BRRRRRRR!!!!!

    I like the jeans/B3 look! Flannel-lined jeans helps though as, like you, I loathe the feeling of Long Johns… ugh. I was in a local military surplus store recently and, thanks to BN and Sloan's B-15, I now have a serious appreciation for nylon going on (having just bought my 1950s N3-B and...

    Life with ONE great Leather Jacket vs. Life with MANY Leather Jackets

    Interesting how this thread has detoured over to watches … interesting all the same. I'd say that, for me Monitor, I only have two Rolex's - both courtesy of my dad: A 1958 black face Oyster Royal and a modern Air King. I love them - and the reason is that they are the only bit of "jewelry" I...

    My new Aero B3

    Good for you for not being concerned over who is "the best" - some people like Pepsi and some like Coke. At the end of the day, it's all decent cola - and I think it's the same with the jackets - and as much as it's about the personal fit of the jacket, it's about the preference of fit of the...

    Aero RAF Comfort Sweater

    Ah, hence the "mate's rate" on the price of wool! Good for you (but not, alas, for the rest of us). If I had a sister like that, I wouldn't be able to shut my drawers with them being stuffed to the gunnels with sweaters! One cannot have too many out here.

    I cannot believe that you chose to wear your ELC RAF sweater for that !!! Brave. It looks shrivellingly cold to me!

    Aero RAF Comfort Sweater

    I must say, I think the sweater looks really fantastic! It looks like a great partner to any Irvin and because the neater knit and ecru colour type is what everyone (Joe Public) thinks of (thanks to the Battle of Britain film), I think the rougher knit and RAF blue helps break up that look - the...

    Opinion pls on this Bronco A-2 jacket from GW, wrong hanger or wrong label

    Fantastic! Good for you! And the wait won't be so long that one or two birthdays go by. Fantastic.

    Erm, I'm no expert on the A2s as some here - but seriously? What's not to love about that jacket???

    Asymmetrical discrepancy in my ELC USN M-387G gloves

    As one who has plenty of dogs, yes Worf, they're all that. And most of my money goes on top quality dog food and treats and training and blankets and cleaning supplies and vet bills and whatever they need - instead of the leather jackets and gear I used to get when I was single with just my one...

    Asymmetrical discrepancy in my ELC USN M-387G gloves

    Hi BN ! Nice to be back! I thought about that - as a laugh. Then I looked up the cost of a new pair on their website - and stopped laughing. Sensible option on Mr. Angry in the store btw. I remember those occasional types in the pubs in England. Utterly frightening and beyond reason...

    Asymmetrical discrepancy in my ELC USN M-387G gloves

    Ah. You heard me from over there, then?!? I couldn't be mad at the dog. As my girlfriend said, "Well, that's what you get when you don't pick your things up and put them away …". Can't argue with that. <sheesh!>. But I've just looked up a new pair on the ELC website … 109 pounds! Jesus. "You...

    Asymmetrical discrepancy in my ELC USN M-387G gloves

    One of these things is not like the other - can you spot the difference? This was courtesy of one of our dogs a couple of days ago. Moral: Don't leave your precious gear where pets can chew it! Favourite Cape skin glove or a throwaway chew toy - it's all the same to them. I offer this...
