    Dieppe Uncovered

    Indeed. I wasn't aware of that (like many other things in the documentary) ... thanks for letting me know!

    My new Eastman B-3

    Ahh. Thanks, Foster. It's still a keeper IMO.

    My new Eastman B-3

    Exactly. A lovely cut ... is it the .50Cal version? As lovely as it is, purely speaking for myself, I preferred the "un-aged" type of sheepskin finish (how do they get this matt/creased finish? Is it heat?) as I prefer to age them myself with lots of wear in lots of weather, like the originals...

    My new (old) ELC RW B-6

    Good points ... but in my case, I thought it would be difficult to flip a set of Beyerdynamics when some parts were in a poop bag ...! I took a photo this morning of my ELC RW B-6 (2007) next to its big brother, the ELC RW B-3 (2006) ... I love the rich sheen and texture of the sheepskin on...

    Eastman's 'new' offering...

    S'funny. Until this, I'd never even noticed anything wrong with the pockets ...! (and I still don't!) There you go, you see. Just as Thor said the other day, I come on here and learn something new ... :)

    My new (old) ELC RW B-6

    There you go, you see. People love Grado cans ! I know they're very good. Alas, they just didn't fit me well ... But it's been a good while since I tried them - so maybe I should give another pair a try. After all, I do need a new pair after our Rottweiler used my Beyerdynamics as a chew toy...

    My new (old) ELC RW B-6

    When I received my very first ELC Irvin, after having worn my Irvin by Aviation Leathercraft for some 18 years, I called ELC (in all ignorance) asking why it was unexpectedly thinner and lighter than what I was used to - but I remarked that I really noticed and liked the superior tailoring on...

    My new (old) ELC RW B-6

    The Grado line of headphones got 5-star reviews when they broke on to the audiophile scene some years ago - and a friend who loves fine hi-fi raved about his. So that said, I tried a pair on - and I found them to be immediately uncomfortable as they squashed my ears, so I went for something...

    Dieppe Uncovered

    G'day everyone ... Thought I'd let you know that, as part of the War And Remembrance programming on the TV over the weekend, I saw an amazing documentary entitled "Dieppe Uncovered" - and it's well worth a watch to anyone interested in WW2. It details the lengthy research undertaken by a...

    Eastman B6 Measurement?

    Got the tailor's measuring tape and B-6 out this morning - and the drape of the shoulder on the B-6 is quite pronounced, IMHO. To measure from seam-to-seam (and where the epaulettes end), well, I can't help but think that it looks a bit excessive and I couldn't help but wonder if I was...

    My new (old) ELC RW B-6

    Many thanks to each of you for the kind compliments, fellas - I really appreciate it - and for the vote of confidence on the B-6/B-2 combo ! I know. Who knew ?! I must admit, I've always felt tempted, for those few weeks in Winter when the snow and ice finally gets the better of my...

    My new (old) ELC RW B-6

    So at last, I can present my new (old) ELC RW B-6 to you all … I’d had an ELC B-6 (in seal brown) some years ago, but it was a size 40 and was a titch too tight on the chest for me, and so it was moved on – but I always thought I’d like another but in a size 42, just like my ELC RW B-3, so I...

    Aero A2 38-1711-P Oil-Pull Horsehide

    Looks good on you, Sir. Great fit and you chose the materials/colours very well. To say it's your first A2, I think it's a great one to start with !!! (wish I'd had one like that instead of what I began with ...!). Nice one. You can be justly pleased ...

    Alexander Leathers

    You too, eh? Terrible. I was at the air show at RAF Duxford when my teenage nephew told me that he didn't know why the RAF fought the Luftwaffe .... he didn't even know about the Final Solution. As I always say, there'll very soon come a day when young people simply won't believe it when you...

    Alexander Leathers

    Actually Edward, I think it's more specific to our house and my girlfriend who also lives there ...! But that being said, I used to get all the usual comments too if I wore my Irvin to the pub ("Did you manage to park your Spitfire around the back, mate? Hur Hur..." So original) and so I'm just...

    Wow ! Fantastic jacket, Worf - and the fit is bang-on ! AL nailed it. Very nice ... the photos speak for themselves, really. And I have to say, I really like the watch cap. I have two ELC B-2 caps (seal and redskin) which I adore, but I feel they can be a bit matchy-matchy if worn with the...

    Aero Hardware choices: which way to go

    I had an Aero zip fitted to my ANJ-3 and that was in Antique Brass - and I wasn't a fan as it is a very subdued finish and I felt that it disappeared into the jacket somewhat - so, being outfitted with dental supplies here at work and being used to these sorts of things with model making and my...

    Good Wear Type B6 Arnoff

    Re; you in a brand spanking new B-6 and a B-17 just being there there next day ... Kismet, I'd say! Wow ! Stunning photos there, Foster !!! Love them ! Well done, Sir. And your B-6 looks perfect ! As for the GW B-6, it's interesting for me to see the alternative strap/buckle waist adjusters -...
