    Hello chaps

    Eastman make some dynamite products. Their goatskin is beautiful, especially the goat used on the Cable model. I'm sure you'll dig your jacket.

    50s jackets

    The tone tone jackets, and shirts, were pretty well ingrained into the wardrobe of young hepcats by the mid 40's.

    A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!

    When a repro maker finally produces an A-1 with the small pockets of an original (also minding that A-1s did not have the elegantly sculpted pocket flaps of the A-2) I will be first in line with my wallet out. Eastman comes preety close but still no cigar.

    Where's the best place to buy Bill's Khakis in NYC?

    Upland Trading Company is on my girlfriend's block, which is also the block that about half of TAXI DRIVER was filmed on. Owned by a really nice old feller. He carries Filson and Barbour products as well.

    1938 Shoe Catalog IN COLOR

    I own a pair of "the Saxon" shoes by Florsheim, and in a bizarre coincidence, I wore them this very afternoon. I bought them in practically deadstock condition and they wear like a dream. Thank you eBay.

    Leather repair

    Like BT mentioned, there was an older British or Canadian zipper maker called Aero. I've seen several jackets from the 50's/60's with Aero zips. Currently Aero uses YKK zippers stamped "Aero" on the front of the puller with their civilian jackets. At least this is what Amanda told me when I...

    1950's Repro Wranglers

    They're made by Wrangler Europe, who've vastly improved their products in the last few years. They're actually better made than the Wrangler Japan stuff Edwin puts out, which is shocking. Good stuff.

    Thieves Like Us

    I'm not especially crazy either filmed version (or BONNIE AND CLYDE for that matter), but the book is great. Stark and poetic. Anderson's other book, HUNGRY MEN, is also a tremendous read.

    The Paradox of the Well-Dressed Man

    Unfortunately the true paradox of the modern well-dressed man is that in this now uber-slobby world we live in, a well-dressed man is often assumed to be a to-be-avoided eccentric, a blatant attention-seeker, or a flamboyant homosexual.

    Leather repair

    If the repairs needed only amount to restitching then an expert can easily repair it. Is this an old Aero of Beacon, NY jacket or an Aero of Scotland jacket? Either way, Aero of Scotland offer an excellent repair service, they take extreme pains to restitch using only the original holes.

    30's~40's Work Boots

    Though Chippewa and Red Wing are now both owned by Justin, I'd give the slight edge to Red Wing, in general. Chippewa makes a very nice engineer's boot. That said, as much as I love modern Red Wings (I wear them on a near daily basis), I recently bought a pair of deadstock with tags 1950's Big...

    Aero's "Real Deal"

    I have a Real Deal in russet with rust knits. It's a great jacket and I wear it all the time. Great gnarly leather.

    Original A2 or fake? Are forgeries a possibility?

    The funny thing about Eastmans, Aeros, or McCoy's being passed off as originals is that often an original can be had for less than the price of a premium repro (that is, unless you are a size 46 or above).

    Plaid Wool Mackinaws

    I have a shawl collared Filson and the quality of materials is astounding. It's like wearing a campfire minus the pain. The pattern ain't bad either.
