    Favorite Military Quotes

    Somewhere I've read this old prussian proverb: "the defeated enemy must be pursued 'til the last breath of men and horses". Or something like that.

    Mad Max Sequels

    The best movie was interceptor, very desperate and violent, and it became the baseline for the all the post atomic genre of the 80s. Personally I don't have hope in this sequel out of time, it's simply too late: every attempt to restart a franchise of this type (Indiana Jones, Terminator...

    Schott PER2 arrived...

    No, the current production replica of the 40s 613 (that were in steerhide) is the 613XX for the japanese market, they also made an HH version , the XH, but it's difficult to get...I don't know where the plaid came, perhaps by older jacket fo the 30s, but I prefer it. Schott offers the 618 in HH...

    Vintage "Snake Plissken" horsehide

    Well I'm 36 or 38 and I'd wear it proudly! :D For Kurt, I think the jacket was that size too, and he would have zipped it, at least in 1980, not that sure in 1996, take into account that he's 175 cm tall, he was an athlete but he had to lose 10 pounds for EFNY, and as a matter of fact I never...

    Where can I find a sweater like this?

    Looks like a cross between a shooting sweater and a cardigan, black sheep makes both: http://www.blacksheep.ltd.uk/son%20of%20a%20gun.html Perhaps you can try to ask them if they can make their lovechild.

    Horse slaughter may be coming back to U.S. in 2012

    That's something that alwasy bugged me: why do americans have problem with horsemeat? I remember than some year ago I went to the restaurant with an american colleague who became very pale when I told him that they served equine steaks and I was raised eating horsemeat, he wasn't crying but...

    Schott PER2 arrived...

    ...I finally got a Perfecto, a jacket that IMO everybody should have. I was lucky enough to find the top of the range for a reasonable price, and they jacket is great. Besides two things. 1) The PER2 is supposed to be the replica of a vintage Perfecto jacket with mismatched hardware. I supposed...

    Japanese Flight Jackets

    Actually these jackets are pure IAF with the old insigna ranks pre-1945.

    Japanese Flight Jackets

    I think that in the case of the Regia Aeronautica and the flying services of the Imperial Army and Imperial Navy the problem is the lack of documentation and surviving gear...I wouldn't be surprised to see that naval aviators wore different suits and jackets, the Army and the Navy were two...

    Ok I understand that you're a fan of postatomic fashion... :D

    Do my shoes and jacket have to match?

    Therefore if I wear a black leather jacket with a brown belt and brown boots I look ugly? :O

    Do my shoes and jacket have to match?

    Then wearing a brown jacket on a black Tshirt looks bad?

    First Post

    Can you post the pics of your jacket? If it has stars on the shoulders it might be a Beck or a Schott 613, the famous one star perfecto that Brando wore in the Wild One. Without pics we can't say how old it is, but the jacket on ebay is not a perfecto.... For the second question, in the 50s...

    Cotton flannel vs. quilted rayon

    Yes I know but as far as I remember flannel is cotton plaid and tartan is wool. For the sleeves, if you choose any kind of plaid you have to use some kind of silk material for the sleeves, all the plaid jackets I have don't have flannel or tartan in the sleeves...not that you can use quilted...

    Cotton flannel vs. quilted rayon

    I would suggest some tartan plaid but I understand it's more suited to motorcyle jackets.
