    WWII Khaki Trousers - Originals and Reproductions

    Buzz rickson khakis Well they arrived today and guess what....they are too small. Though they are labeled a 31 waist they measure just under 30 inches. They should also shrink after washing a bit so they are no good to me. What a darn shame, I was really looking forward to them. I emailed...

    WWII Khaki Trousers - Originals and Reproductions

    AF Baggy chino I will have a look later if they have a product number. If you type into ebay "abecrombie baggy chinos" there are usually a few about for about 40 bucks. Only problem is that they have a vintage finish which is a bit too vintage for my taste. They are not really high waist but...

    Aero A-2 CBI jacket with mouton collar

    Thanks greyhound. I could not find the thread myself. Pity there aint a pic of this jacket being worn. Think I made up my mind and will order the field modified version. Just dont know whether to go for goatskin or horsehide. Definately want a rust colour mouton rather than brown.

    Aero A-2 CBI jacket with mouton collar

    Thinkin of getting another A-2 from Aero and the "Field Modified" CBI A-2 jacket really caught my eye. I love fur collars on jackets and this particular one is also reasonably priced at 255 gbp. Dont think I have seen any photos anywhere of this type of A-2 (except on the Aero site) so does...

    Jeans

    well, I am about to slim down my denim collection. Have had all the various vintage styles by levis, lee and even german "ace" brand and I gotta say that my favourites are looser, wider styles 1929 2O1´s and 1933 Levis models. I find the 37 , 44 and 47 models a bit too tight. The 101 b model...

    is wearing vintage uncomfortable for you ?

    Well, so I scored a fab looking late 40´s , early 50´s horsehide aviator style jacket on ebay. It has that cool short boxy cut, very tough horsehide and the mouton collar is in great nick. The lining needs to be renewed but who´s complaining at a cost of just under 100 USD. These jacket go...

    japanese shoes ?

    Yeah, think it was a french cat Jerry Desvaux ( or something like that). He now runs a Hot Rod mag. Pitty that Restyling is not around anymore, their usage of the word "desperate" was unbelieveable. If you were hep you had to be desperate.... As far as jubilee shoes go there is a japanese cat on...

    Buzz Rickson B-15c size question

    i been surfing around a bit on the japanese sites and they have measurements on most of the jackets. I am guessing a bit since I dont speak japanese but it seems that a 38 indeed would fit a 41/42 chest no problems.

    Buzz Rickson B-15c size question

    Hi folks, I got a question regarding a BR-15-C jacket. Are these jackets true to their sizes or are they actually bigger than the size. Apparently a size 38 measures 23.5 inches across chest which makes it a 42 not a 38 even taking into account that these jackets are pretty thick. I require a 42...

    Know any shops in Nagoya for BR,Real McCoys etc?

    A few days I was moaning in a previous thread that all these fine japanese repros are not available outside Japan and today I just found out that a friend of mine is going to Nagoya for a week in a few days time. I surfed round the internet looking for couple of good stores in Nagoya that sell...

    why are the japanese so great at repros?

    Wow that sounds great except this link is to a Forum page. I just registered so once I get the confirmation email and can log in I will be wiser. You mean you found someone in Japan who speaks english and also ships outside Japan ???
