FYI - j.crew now has a ripstop "Canoeist Smock" which is quite similar to the subject SBS smock. I bought one and I am pleased with it. Best Regards, Keith https://www.jcrew.com/p/mens_category/outerwear/utility/canoeist-smock-in-ripstop-cotton/J7264

While not Burberry or Aquascutum, this coat has flaps both left and right as it can be buttoned either way. I've never seen one in person, however I was considering it until recently but I could not find or obtain an image of the reverse side...

My dad turns 85 later this month. He is a retired USAF O-6 and a Master Navigator. While looking to get him a new Type VIII or IX briefcase for his birthday I stumbled across the bag in the attached image. I remember from boyhood he had a case like the one pictured but I am not sure if it was...

As far as "Manly" goes' my nomination goes to this mans namesake: The Marius sweater... This is Marius Eriksen of Norway. He has traditional areas of "manly" covered: Spitfire Ace, POW, Ski Champ. He also gets manly marks for being secure enough to wear what amounts to a very busy...

Im looking for assistance in acquiring a Navy Blue baseball cap like Ensign Pulver's as seen in the closing 2 minutes of Mr. Roberts. Also I would like to find a period correct khaki ball cap that navy officers are seen wearing in official and Life magazine pics from Operation Crossroads or...

Hello to all! In 28 Days my Fiance & I are to marry. We are both vintage enthusiasts, but pale in our knowledge compared to so many of you all and would like your input. Our honeymoon will have us in London, Paris & Barcelona and I would like to surprise her with having some sort of...
