    How To Get The Proper Size In A US Navy Pea Coat

    The first step in determining proper peacoat fit is to obtain your bare chest measurement. For an accurate chest measurement, stand in front of a mirror so that your side is facing the mirror.

    Links To Important Threads

    Dinerman started the link to important threads, at the top of this section, back in 2015. I have added additional threads and will continue to do so as they occasionally pop up. The idea is that it will be easier to scroll down the links to find what you want rather than to use the search...

    Eastman Leather

    Evidently their site, or a portion of their site has been down for awhile as I received an email telling me it was back up and available. So, if any of you have had problems accessing ELC, that is the reason, and it is now fixed and up to speed.

    New Look of Forum

    I'm OK with the Halloween colors. Took a bit of adjusting, but it is OK. What I am having difficulty with is the the lack of sufficient contrast between the text and the background in the messages. It appears to be gray letters on a black background. If the letters were a lighter shade...

    CBS Evening News

    There was an article at the end of the news tonight about hats making a comeback. Particularly mentioned was the fedora and its wearing by musicians and actors over the past several years. Reminded me of my first fedora, given to me by "Fingers" Taylor, Jimmy Buffet's harmonica player. He...

    My Vanson Enfield Finally Came Today

    And it was well worth the wait. I couldn't be happier with it. Good thick leather all the way around, and very well made with an excellent finish to the hide that is water proof--or at least water resistant in a heavy downpour. Zipper teeth and pulls are heavy duty and ought to last. The...

    Little Walter 5/1/30--2/15/68

    G-1 Fit

    I am planning to get a vintage 50's or 60's G-1. I want a looser fit, not tight like the A-2. Normally I wear a 42, and was thinking of getting a 44 so that it wouldn't be tight. Also there is no insulation in the G-1, so I would need to wear a sweater or a vest under the jacket below about...
