    Vintage Cafe Racer Jackets

    The quilted padding looks typical of a late 70s jacket. But there is something about it that looks much earlier. The details like the side vents, lining and the label looks earlier? James. P.S Also its long in the body so I am sticking with late 70s.

    1940s Goatskin Motorcycle Jacket - Canadian

    Superb usable vintage jacket you have there. Like the collar, bit unusual for a 40s jacket don’t you think? A bargain. James.

    ALL ORIGINAL Irvin RAF type Jackets - Loving that Wolf in sheeps' clothing!

    Oh well, its still a great old jacket! I too once bought a jacket that turned out to be something other than the seller had led me to believe. Hope this has not dampened your enthusiasm to find an original. James

    Lost Worlds jackets.

    I have a Lost Worlds Dubow A2. I must say I like it very much. Sure it may be heavier skin than an original but the character of the leather is hard to beat. Anders, Your Ryder jacket looks impressive. I have had a look at the sales page and they have a 40, I am tempted, pity about the...

    Loakes Shoes

    My local cobblers trade from an 18th century building. They have been there as long as I can remember. It seems as if time has stood still for this old shop. They only seem to sell loakes shoes and carry out shoe repairs and very little else. In these days of large chains and internet...

    Hercules/ Halfbelt

    Yes it was indeed a sale item. The restriction is due to the deep cut of the arm holes. Only noticeable when lifting the arms up sideways. The leather is so heavy, it’s fantastic. Not every ones cup of tee I’m sure but I am enjoying breaking it in. James.

    Hercules/ Halfbelt

    Here is my Aero Long Half Belt after some wear. I would like slightly longer sleeves but then again I like the way I can show a bit of cuff. Even thought it’s a relaxed fit it does on occasion feel slightly restrictive when zipped up (rarely do this) but it’s not a problem. I...

    For comparison: This is my vintage Tourmaster with my girlfriends modern Belstaff. The modern jacket is very well made and has C E armour. James.

    Horsehide bomber jacket

    I’m no expert but, although the EBay listing says 30/40s, I think it looks 50s. I like the jacket and think at the price you paid it’s a great deal. How is the fit? James.

    Military fair

    Went to a Military fair at Stonleigh Park on Sunday. I found original A2s from £360 up to £1500.00!! The £360 A2 was in bad condition with no label wrecked knits and dissolving lining and the leather had some damage as well as being stiff as old boots. I nearly bought it though just to...
