    Wesco Mister Lou engineer boots: fit/sizing?

    At the end I bought the 8.5D (E was unavailable at ironheart.uk) and they fits me OK, my foot is not wide so they aren't too tight, and after a few hours of wearing they already begin to break in, the only problem is to put them on and out, a real pain in the... but I can live with it as the...

    Help: breakage in vintage Conmar zip

    Today when I was trying to zip up my 50s Grais jacket the main zipper began to break at the beginning, the solid part at the extremity is detaching from the fabric (or better the fabric is fraying). I know it's nearly impossible but anyone knows a way to fix it? A glue? Classic superglue...

    For original I mean the color they made in 1892, I suppose it was brown only, while navy and other probably came much later, am I correct

    Colchester sneakers

    I just discovered this brand and I am thinking to buy a pair, I suppose the first original ones are the "brown" dead grass color, is it correct? Anyone knows when the navy color came out? In converse I wear a 8.5 (42 EU) would I need a 9 here? Thank you

    50s grais horsehide lining restored

    Two weeks ago I bought a nice 50s Grais horsehide (pony) wit a great patina, but it had the lining in bad shape, sleeves lining destroyed and body lining rather dirty, with a previous patch at the bottom and a big tear/hole near the collar, the pockets lining were in bad shape too: I...

    Missing diamond for Conmar brass zipper pull

    In the meantime I found this one, I don't know if it fits because I don't have the jacket in my hands to measure it now, but the seller charges an outrageous $25 for shipping to Italy (for an item that I think could be shipped with $2-3 in a simple letter envelope) that added to the $17.50 for...

    Missing diamond for Conmar brass zipper pull

    I just bought a nice 1950s jacket that has Conmar brass zippers but one of the pocket zippers is missing its pull (chain with diamond). Anyone has a spare one or know where I can find it? Thanks

    Russian Sailor Shirts

    I am thinking of buying one from Epic Militaria, I am a 40R (5'9" and 156 lbs) so should I order a L (42) of these instead of a M (40)? Thanks

    Looking for advice on Lee 101Z and 101 Riders Selvedge Jeans...

    definitely slimmer in the legs, you can see it also from the pics in my post quoted above. As I already have the 101z (old japanese, not the new european) this time I wanted a slimmer cut and I choose the Rider

    Just bought a 1963 Irvin Foster G-1 jacket

    Well, I forgot one thing, before replacing those parts I put it into the washer machine, cold water and a bit of mild detergent, so I have the confirmation that leather jackets can be washed without any big risk. Leather didn't suffer and the mouton collar came out great and clean.
