    Cheaper Half Belts?

    I've got a half belt from the that very page, and in your very size. And I bought it when I was a poor college student! Be careful, we could be doppelgängers.... But I can certainly vouch for the jacket. And welcome!

    LOST WORLDS - Discovering some GREAT leather!

    That Roadhouse! Something about that style really put the hook in me. I have a couple LW sale jackets, but if I were ever to splurge on a full price model...

    Found some nice custom made horsehide belts to match your Aero jackets

    Aha! One more step on the quest of covering my entire person in horsehide! But really, they do look nice.

    Neither a lender nor a borrower be..

    I once lent a hat to a friend for a Halloween costume, and he immediately snatched it up and jammed it on his head sideways, in such a manner that the whole thing warped horribly out of proportion. I was immensely glad I had decided to give him one of my cheaper hats, and now that's the only one...

    new in town. My first A2 manufacturer?

    Different in that most A-2 repros are lined in the same burnt orange/brown cotton that is generally conisdered consistent with historical jackets. The color of yours is different, and I seem to be making out some sort of pattern in the cloth as well, which is unique.

    new in town. My first A2 manufacturer?

    Curious that it's missing even the old contract label most reproductions emulate. That and the different lining means there's a long list of well known companies you could rule out. Certainly looks like a fine jacket, though. Welcome to The Lounge! Anders

    Lost Worlds Downtown not too bad at all

    Very stylish. That half belt really makes it interesting, and I don't think the standard model has that feature.

    Pulling Off the Casual Look

    I was agreeing with this until I saw Goose there. That's about as casual as can be, but it looks great! Somehow, that combination doesn't seem odd at all...

    Looking for a dark green wool coat...

    If you're skinny (34/36), there's a couple Downtown Car Coats in olive on the Lost Worlds sale page. http://lostworldsinc.com/LostWorldsSaleItems.htm

    Corduroy Hats

    Whenever I'm browsing a vintage store, there seem to be two corduroy fedoras for every felt. You know the kind I mean, the stingy brim, often brown, green, or cross-patterned. I assume there's so many of them because they're newer and therefore more prevalent than the felt hats I'm shopping for...

    Boba Fett Leather Jacket

    Ghostsoldier, that is an amazing suit! I didn't think about the copyright issue, perhaps if the jacket was merely reminiscent of Fett's rather than a recreation?

    Boba Fett Leather Jacket

    Not sure how many of you are Star Wars fans, but I got a rather strange idea the other day when my friend showed me this. Now I would never wear a hoodie, but what if the same thing could be done with a leather jacket? I'm thinking of a nondescript gray leather jacket with layers of green...

    Toppers Unite

    Don't believe my avatar, top hats are right on the edge of my social comfort zone. I'm fine in a fedora, and usually in a bowler or homburg, but I just don't think I could pull off a topper outside a very special event. With this in mind I've eyed them curiously, but never seriously. Metropd...

    Lost Worlds jackets.

    My chest measures 34 1/2", and the size 34 is by no means tight in the torso. I have at least 2 inches of room in the jacket. I'm not sure how much extra space is typical for a non-restrictive fit, but I suspect that a 36" chest could fit without too much trouble. I wouldn't get much tighter...

    Lost Worlds jackets.

    Actually this one is a 34. I see what you mean about the wording on their sale page, when I read it I wasn't quite clear if they had more than just black available, but they said in an email that 36 and 34 were in stock. Would the measurements still be of use to you? Anders

    Your first flight jacket

    My first and only (though not the last): A US authentic A2.

    Lost Worlds jackets.

    The armholes aren't perfect. There is definitely some riding up and restrictions to range of movement. I would say that with the jacket zipped, I can't really lift my arms higher than parallel to the ground without the collar getting way too high. Anders

    Lost Worlds jackets.

    Lost Worlds Ryder Reference Hello all, I just purchased a Ryder jacket from the Lost Worlds sale pages, and as I don't see many reference photos of their products around here I thought I'd show mine off. This is in a 3 oz. horsehide rather than their industrial strength, but it's still quite...

    What's the difference between a porkpie and a boater hat?

    I'm not sure if I'm correct, but this is how I've always thought of it: A boater has a flat top with no creases, usually found in straw hats, like the 'election hats'. A porkpie is a way of creasing a felt hat so that if forms a circular crease all the way around the crown. Is this...
