    Show Me Your Jacket Accoutrements

    Alas, my girlfriend has vetoed any more pin-up art - I have done two (on my old A2 and my ELC C-3) and I'd love to do one more (and Sack Time is a great example), but it ain't worth the flak. PS. Just re-read your reply - you said Snack Time ! That's funny !!! :)

    Show Me Your Jacket Accoutrements

    Thanks very much, BN. Yep, losing a companion is tough … but having all the others helps this time. I thought we'd lost Star a year ago for sure, but at the last moment she rallied and bounced right back and then I got another full year out of her - which was a big bonus and as some friends...

    Show Me Your Jacket Accoutrements

    And this is my Aero ANJ-3: When I first bought this, I was chiefly inspired by an original ANJ-3 that had been briefly on display at LAX airport and I wanted one very similar. My girlfriemd and I had recently adopted a stray dog (called "Wonka" by the shelter) from Texas and I thought that it'd...

    Thanks Nick - sincerely. Yeah, it's been a sad old fortnight … she was my best pal. Thanks man.

    Show Me Your Jacket Accoutrements

    This is my Aero C3: I added a perfect reproduction wool patch of the 364th BS squadron (made by "6th of June") which is a squadron I've been partial to for some time as, originally, I felt that it looked like Star, my faithful old dog (who sadly passed away two weeks ago aged 14 1/2 ) - and...

    Everything Old is....

    Indeed, Topicalbob. As I said earlier, it pays to look at the customer reviews on their website - as sometimes the higher price does NOT automatically equate to higher quality … I'm sorry you discovered that the hard way. It was a nice looking munitions vest though !

    Everything Old is....

    Getting back to the Orvis subject, I'd just say (again) that the stuff is very nice and what I like about their catalogues is that they can put together certain "themes" of style - such as a vintage flyer look and navy seaman look, safari, "Our Man In Havana" look, western cowboy etc and they're...

    Everything Old is....

    Oh yes. I've been getting Orvis catalogs for some time now and it's really lovely stuff in there …. oh, but the prices. Yikes. It pays to read the online product reviews by customers to see if they think the prices reflect the quality of materials. But they add 20% for Canadian customers. Plus...

    Buzz Rickson L2A Superior Togs Version (Transitional lining)

    Oh, I know, Smithy. There's no harsher critic, but she's really liking this one and fully approves ! But that's Buzz for you. You pay for what you get, I reckon. And I ordered a new pair of A-10 gloves and they're completely fantastic too - a much better fit than my other pair (I went one 1/2...

    Buzz Rickson L2A Superior Togs Version (Transitional lining)

    Yep, it arrived about 2 weeks ago along with two Buzz catalogues (2009 and 2014) - but I was just too busy at work to get some photos off for the first week. Then I was on "staycation" and straight away I had to put my old dog down and I've not been in the mood for photos. I'll get it done...

    Trouble with the orders on "Alexander leather" ?

    Personally, I think it's a shame (for us) that Amanda has left. When I discovered her (at Aero), I was struck by how helpful, friendly and accommodating she was and nothing was too much trouble. Indeed, she made doing business a pleasure - and was the main reason behind my loyalty being lured to...

    Aero late war and Air Arm Irvins

    Thanks so much for posting, John. And your wife got some great photos ! I think the jackets look great to me - very authentic. Well done to Aero and the R & D shows. Very nice indeed !

    IRVIN SEASON OPEN! (Time to get it out Gents)

    Tell her it must be a new conditioner you used on your old jacket. "So funny how it creaks now. God knows what it's done to it. I won't use it again …"

    My NY Police leather jackets

    Very nice. And they look good on you. For me, it's always nice to see the old police leather jackets as they always fondly remind me of officers Renko and Hill and the others in Hill Street Blues and I loved those jackets - then and now. Iconic. Thanks for posting.

    People going crazy for Leather Jackets

    I couldn't agree more, Nick. I also think that those are the ABC's of life in general ... And after reading this thread, I feel better and better about that 20% I give to my friend's wife to sell my gear on eBay! If she wanted 30%, I'd say that'd be fine.

    IRVIN SEASON OPEN! (Time to get it out Gents)

    You should be in Calgary, Paddy. Yesterday the Calgarians all woke up and could sit on their decks drinking nice cold drinks with ice and enjoying the 25C weather. By the end of the afternoon, they were making SNOWMEN ! Seriously. That's a chinook for you...

    People going crazy for Leather Jackets

    PS. And that deal looks decidedly fishy to me. Something not right there at all. It's why I let a pal's wife sell my stuff for me on eBay - she takes 20% and I think that's worth it - I hear her stories of the people she deals with on there - and eBay isn't pro-seller, as kyboots says. It's a...
