    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    I didn't even notice that it was a Coast Guard coat (didn't know that the CG wore peacoats). The fleece liner looks like what's in Sterlingwear's Authentic model, a coat which I'd thought was supposed to be identical to their navy-issue coat. Thanks for the reply.

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Does anyone know why they gave it the fleece liner? And did the addition of that coincide with the switch from kersey wool to melton wool? Is melton less warm than kersey?

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Sterlingwear is doing the same 7-button design on current peacoats (at least on their Navigator model that I just got).

    Filson Mac Cruiser vs Double Mac Cruiser

    Even the standard cruiser could have an advantage over the peacoat, considering that one is lined and the other isn't. Both of these comparisons interest me.

    Show us your waistcoats/Vests?

    I want a waistcoat. The problem is that the thriftshops which used to have them, don't seem to anymore. I tried splurging on a premium, wool-all-over waistcoat from Johnson Woollen Mills but, those only go down to size 38 (I think I need 34). I want one that has either a belted back or...

    I'm going to make a pair of Flannel Trousers - suggestions welcome

    If this were an election, my vote would be for side-adjusters with suspender-buttons. I most-prefer suspenders but, not all of my shirts work with them and, I don't like belts.

    I'm going to make a pair of Flannel Trousers - suggestions welcome

    Actually, that's a totally different issue. I was trying to point out that the side-adjusters shouldn't be located in a place that allows a belt to cross over them. A belt over the adjusters will eventually abrade their straps. It looked like the O.P. wanted to have the option of belt or...

    I'm going to make a pair of Flannel Trousers - suggestions welcome

    I don't have much experience with braces (having started using them for the first time, just a couple months ago) but, it seems to me that the belt loops (if offered) should be low enough for a belt to clear the buttons. Likewise, couldn't the side-adjusters be at the same height as the brace...

    The Cap Faction

    The lining in mine is apparently not sufficient enough. What kind is needed for getting a good 3-D shape in front?

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    No you may not, unless I happen to write something to that effect.:p You may, however, consider my trade offer, if you have what I'm looking for.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    That he has. Thanks B-24J. I did also find on my own, that the site employs a banner graphic which reads "100% WOOL British Designed" at the top of each page. I was initially so busy looking for sweaters of interest that I failed to notice this catch-all message.

    Wide Brimmed Tweed Hat

    I too am looking for wide-brimmed tweed hats. Fedoras or homburgs to be precise, tweed and with a non-dimensional brim of at least 2.5". Tilly makes a dimensional brim tweed fedora. In addition to the dimensional brim, they've also treated the hat with a rain-repeller - another aspect that I...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    I have one of these sweaters. It's a USA-issue, olive brown, 100% wool, with a 5-button placket at the top, ribbing on both the cuff and bottom edge. Unfortunately it's way too big for me so, I never wear it in public. Tag says size-XL (46-48). Looks to be in pretty good condition, haven't...

    What do you use to shave?

    I'm curious as to why some of you are choosing a single-edge instead of a double-edge. I considered making that same choice, back when I was still using Trac-IIs, due to my perception that single-edged blades would be easier to obtain and safer to dispose of. Double-edged blades last twice as...

    Reproduction classic workwear

    Simon, Nice work! Dinerman, Is that jacket really a reproduction or, is it actually vintage? I'm wondering if it can be purchased.
