    Were Belstaff jackets originally made with leather?

    I mean this style of jacket; Since they claim they invented this jacket during the 1960s [huh] I wonder if they were originally made with leather. I always have seen this style of jackets in some kind of waxed fabric but never in leather until recently.

After taxes it'll go to $1,300. For the same money I can purchase the Real McCoy's Buco J-100 in England. And then...

    Alpha jackets owners, do they run big or small?

    I'd like to get me an Alpha N-3B but I'm confused with their sizing. They label their stuff S, M, X, XL... I wear a US Size 46. I think the best match would be a XL but I'm not sure at all. Should I go regular, size up or size down? Do their sizing have any thing to do with military sizes? I...

    What original A-2 contract is the less baggy?

    For those who has no belly :D What A-2 contract is the less baggy right under the armpits to the bottom? 1939 Werber maybe? I asked Eastman Leather for their slender A-2 but it happens that my shoulders don't fit in their bigger size for this model, a 44. (No Aero suggestions, thank you!)

    Have you ever ironed a leather jacket?

    I have read that it can be done putting some cloth between the leather and your iron. I have a jacket that developed a wrinkle on the back during the shipping. :eusa_doh: Not a big deal but I wonder if it could be fixed.

    My jacket season is already over in late March

    24ºC (75F) and rising in late March :( If a jacket needed, you're only going to find it useful early in the morning and late in the night. And you actually can go with just a thick shirt. For me, "jacket season" is already over. [huh] What about you? When do you grab your last jacket before...

    Pattern 2 OG-107 utility shirt. Where can I find a replica?

    I used to wear one of these shirts in a daily basis until it literally felt to pieces. It is a 1963 pattern 2 OG-107 utility shirt, the one with clipped pocket flaps. I have seen some of these shirts on vintagethreads but I'd like have a brand new one or a replica. Where can I find one?
