    1938 Monarch Aviator Horsehide and Wool Jacket by Diamond Capco

    This is a reproduction 1938 Monarch Aviator made by Diamond Dave of Diamond Cap Co. He made this for me many years ago and it's never been worn. Dave put a lot of care into this jacket and wanted to make sure it was perfect. In fact, he ended up making this twice. It's beautiful and I love it...

    WTT: Mister Freedom Campus Jacket sz 42 for 44

    I realize this has almost a zero % chance of happening but..... I'm looking to trade a size 42 MF Campus Jacket in natural leather for a size 44. I've worn it once or twice, but it's spent a few days hanging in the San Francisco sun. I've used Pecard's on it once to darken it a bit. During...

    WTT: Aero LHB 46 WTS: N1 Deck Jacket and Sugarcane Sack Coat

    I have an item for trade and a couple items to sell. I have the worst luck trying to sell things. Generally I couldn't sell a $5 bill for $2. But in this case maybe someone would like to trade. - I have an Aero Long Half Belt in size 46 that I bought back in 2010. Around that time there was...

    Trouser leg circumference

    I'll probably be buying another suit from Magnoli very soon. I'm wanting a more accurate trouser. Obviously trouser legs had a larger circumference in the Golden Era. Is there a good rule of thumb to go by when determining a measurement? My last suit was close but I held back a bit and they are...

    WTB: RAF Irvin jacket size 46

    Hi all. I'm on the hunt for a Irvin jacket in a size 46. I normally take a 44L in suits but everything I have read says the Irvins run a bit small. Let me know if you've got anything. Vintage is most certainly out of the question given the size I need. I'll consider anything from a WPG to an...

    Suit fit question

    I've had 3 suits made by Magnoli. And I've been very pleased with them. However my last two suits have had an issue that bugs me. They both have a single horizontal "wrinkle" across the center of my back. Maybe 2 or 3 inches below the collar. I asked him about it before I ordered the 3rd suit...

    WPG Irvin sizing advice

    I've been in the market for a RAF Irvin for a little while. I've trolled through all the related threads and decided I'm going to start off with a WPG version. I'm doing this for a couple of reasons. The main reason being it simply doesn't get cold enough for me to justify a spot on replica. I...

    WTB: Tuxedo or dinner jacket 44L

    I have a function to attend in the spring. Does anyone have a tuxedo or dinner jacket for sale? A jacket alone would be fine...I can have trousers made locally. I would prefer a white shawl collar dinner jacket but I would consider anything that might fit. I prefer vintage but would...

    Linen suit experiment

    There is a very nice couple in town that I take ALL of my alterations to. They do great work and are obscenely cheap. He kept telling me that he would love to make me a suit. I have explained to him in the past that my tastes go towards the 30s-40s era suits and that I was afraid they may be too...

    FS: Hercules horsehide jacket 45-46

    Link Some of you may have seen a post I made about this. I had some repairs done and conditioned the leather. Unfortunately the original seller misrepresented this as a 50" chest, when in fact it was a 45-46" chest.

    Old-ish Savile Row suits

    Benstephens recently posted about purchasing a suit with history. I wanted to add my recent purchases. I have a similar story. I recently purchased 6 suits made by Strickland and Sons, Savile Row. They aren't vintage but they belonged to a gentleman by the name of Roger Starr. His obituary is...

    New member and new horsehide

    Hi all. I'm "officially" a new member, though I have been a regular here for several years. I've been transient for longer than I care to remember and that means no permanent email address. Looks like I'll be staying put for the foreseeable future so I have an acceptable address. Anyway, I...
