    wested A2

    Richard, where in England are you? It might be worth visit to Wested if you are in the southeast. The Wested A2 is what £150?. And you can have it in lamb, goat or horse. The goat and horse will last you plenty. Aero etc are great and they do specialise, but you have to have deep pockets to...

    The miracle of champagne.

    Ok, I may be confused here, alcohol volumes are now indicated by % by volume in the UK, eg a common Vodka is usually about 37.5-40% alcohol by volume, I always thought proof was double, ie 40% alcohol is 80% proof? So 60% alcohol is actually "120% proof". So in the US you still use the...

    UK (and US!) girls

    Wow, he's just down the road from me. Is that a shop or does he just do mail order?

    Who wears Chucks?!

    I used to wear them a lot in my teens. Ran them into the ground. Hi tops. Loved the fact that you could wash them. Now that the support is better and the good Doctor is wearing them I may have to get me a new pair.

    wested A2

    I've seen one, I've even tried it on. Before I get to that, I'm a big fan of Peter and Wested, they do a great job for the movie repro community and have made many A-2 jackets for wartime movies. Memphis Belle, Hannover Street, Aliens etc. Now I'm not a A-2 buff so can only go by my...

    What were you doing December 31, 1999 at 11:59 PM?

    I was walking in Richmond Park, with my parents and sister and a bottle of champagne, watching the fireworks over London.

    SHOCK GASP! Nail Biter needs help!

    Ok, I know this is a powder room topic, but guys have nails too. Will power. I used to bite my nails constantly, one day I just decided it was a horrible thing to do and stopped. I was amazed at how fast my nails grew and how often I needed to cut them. But really, forget about the odd...

    Dobbs 15 RIP

    I think most of us over there were horrified that he did that to such a beautiful hat. He got it for $45 so considered it a candidate for surgery. He'll know to offer it up over here first next time :). It's been noted that he could have bought best part of an Adventurebilt with the proceeds...

    'Das Boot' Jacket

    Do they recommend cowhide for this jacket then? The original prototype I saw was made in some sort of cowhide, I think, but it was really thick and heavy (Peter said that it was the "wrong type of cowhide"). I was thinking that a goatskin might be a nice one to go for. I've seen it in distressed...

    Always Coca-Cola? Ain't Nothin' Like The Real Thing!

    Shame on you, abandoning your small shop for Wally World for the sake of a few cents. :(

    IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!

    Here's the uk supplier: http://www.antiqueleatherdressing.co.uk/shopping/olshop.shtml You could try ebay too they ship direct from the States and it might be cheaper that way.

    'Das Boot' Jacket

    There used to be a Flip in Covent Garden but I don't think it's there anymore. I bought a WW2 US Army macintosh there many, many moons ago so it must be a chain. Anyone know if it moved or is still around?

    Casino Royale

    One thing Craig does have to his advantage: He's not Clive Owen. I really can't believe the people who keep suggesting him whenever a new actor for Bond is brought up, Owen is a dreadful (bad) TV actor with unbelievably bad veneers. Please no! He of the same ilk as Lewis Collins was in the past...

    Bugsy Malone

    They showed Bugsy Malone on TV today, there were plenty of nice hats on show. Does anyone know the history and the suppliers to this film? I know it was made in the UK.

    I finally found the pic I took at Harrods, please excuse the jacket in the background, they were dressed for London in the spring! :)

    'Das Boot' Jacket

    Last time I was there, I picked out a jacket on the work rail, "Oh, is that a Doctor Who?". Gerry: "Nah, that's a U-boat.". So they differentiate between the two and I have no idea what the difference is. Just to confuse matters further! :)
