    60's C contrsct G-1 size 46

    I don't think so- that pic is a lot more visible than it is in natural light. Cheers Mark

    60's C contrsct G-1 size 46

    '60's "C" contract G-1 size 46. Good condition, mouton in great shape. Original zipper and liner. Liner has a worn spot by the collar. Sleeve has one small tear that I backed up on the inside with a piece of leather. Right shoulder has a scrape that does not go through. I replaced the worn knits...

    Making an ANJ-3

    Moving along. Finished the pockets, sleeves, and epaulets. I messed up one shoulder but the other side turned out fairly well. I am going to have to take a hard look at the way the epaulets lie on the shoulders. Right now they run along the body shoulder seam which puts 5 layers of leather...

    Flying boots

    Nerd Alert! So being the cheap type instead of taking the boots in to be stretched and re-soled I soaked them in water and wore them with 2 pairs of thick socks around the house until dry (took a couple of days on and off) (My wife doesn't even look at me sideways anymore when I do things like...

    Making an ANJ-3

    You're right Fletch- I think one of the things I need to do this year is get more serious about this thing, decide on a name, get some word-of-mouth going. After the ANJ-3 I'll fix up a couple of the bangers in my closet and take pics. Cheers Mark

    Making an ANJ-3

    No disagreement there, I've found some really nice cow (mostly from kyson leather on e-bay, they send out samples) the only problem is finding it thin enough to drape properly, since all the good stuff is upholstery leather. Cheers Mark

    Making an ANJ-3

    Thanks for the offer, I really appreciate it. I have some nice mouton already, just need a strip of leather to make the back, and I want to copy the original collar as closely as possible since it's kind of an oddball jacket. Thanks again Mark

    Leather Jacket #4 For Sale Size 44-42 Long Depending on how you prefer the cut

    I think this would be a pretty good fit on you, it's based on a Dubow like the one you are wearing in the pic (I think that's a Dubow?) but with smaller armholes and narrower sleeves. I wear a 17X35/36 shirt and have a 44" chest and this one is just right (as in nice and snug) in the chest with...

    Making an ANJ-3

    Damnit, I'm trying... I keep starting out intending to make a 46 or 48 and end up with a 42-44:eusa_doh: That whole pattern + skill thing, still working on that... The leather is just some cow I bought on e-bay, nothing special but it's the thinnest stuff I've been able to get so far...

    Making an ANJ-3

    I've thought about that, but it takes almost as long to repair one as to make a new- and I'm more interested right now in using the time to make my own. I do have a couple hanging in my closet to practice fixing up when I get the chance. Biggest problem is fixing what other people have already...

    Soviet pilot leather coats

    Very Cool! Who did you find to make them? What kind of liner?, we need more pics.... Cheers Mark

    Making an ANJ-3

    I've been slowly working on my ANJ-3 and as usual my pattern is leaving a lot to be desired. I am basing this on my rotted out G&F M-422A but since this is my only example (and the upper half of the back is rotted out) I had to make some educated guesses about the way the pieces are made. It's...

    My Vintage 40s Era Hunting Pants

    I have them buried somewhere, but after thinking about it there is a quartermaster tag inside dating them to the early '30's I believe. I'll have to find them this weekend and see. They are actually in a large size, about a 35 or so waist I think. Cheer Mark

    My Vintage 40s Era Hunting Pants

    Awsome! You should forward that label on to John Chapman at Goodwearleather.com- he revived the Goodwear name for his company... Here's a pair of what I believe to be '30's U.S. military breeches. Heavy, scratchy wool, leather patches on the outside of the leg. Cheers Mark

    IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!

    Pakistan I believe- I had one of the first version WPG Irvins for several years, finally sold it when I forgot to retract a bid and bought a B-3 on e-bay. The current version looks more authentic to me, but they have had zipper problems. My brother bought one and had to have the zip replaced...
