I am in the processing of getting a job where I may have to transition back into suits...Having a non standard body (38 waist, 50L jacket), I am looking into custom made.
I have been getting emails from some of the "Hong Kong" travelling tailors (Ravistailors and Noblehouse) and some I have...

P-38 Restoration
Was at the NATIONAL WORLD WAR II AIR MUSEUM in Colorado Springs last weekend. It has only been open a couple weeks.
The tour includes a tour of the WesPac Restoration hanger where they are working on TWO P-38 restorations to flying condition...they had been buried in a pit...

Inadvertantly bought the XXL when I meant to buy the XL...my mistake means you get to get one of these without paying the shipping from the UK (20 pounds stirling or $31.76). Worn once to try on. Natural/ecru color.
This is a great sweater! I also have the blue version (in the correct...
After much searching, I found a barber shop in Denver that can accurately speak to the difference between a 30's haircut and the styles from the 40's:
Ollie's Barber Shop.
Vintage touches include pommade for sale and a bit of Dominca BayRum after the back of the neck shave...
I got my blue version from outdoorknitwear a couple days ago and couldn't be happier.
I usuall take a 48 or 50 Long and was worried about the sleeves as most things I buy are too short...but this fit great - I can even double the cuffs back a couple inches.
It is really long in the body...
Anyone know how their sizes run?
I am a 50 Long (US Size) and am trying to figure out if I should order the XL (50) or XXL (54).
I usually like a roomy sweater and, with my ape arms, a lot of standard 50 sizes end up halfway up my arms...but I don't want to wear a sack either.
I...
Would the Navy Outdoorknitwear version approximate the blue sweater worn by the RAF in WWII?
I know they wore the "ecru" color but have seen some photos with blue as well...
Is this close?
Thanks!
RAF Service Dress
Kilroy-
How did the endeavor with WPG turn out? I am looking for a set of RAF Service Dress to go with the Sindlinger Hurricane I am rebuilding. Looking to paint the plane to represent John Haviland of 151 Squadron in SEP 1940...I thought it might be fun to be able to fly...
Smithy -
Tried to PM and the system seems to think you mail box is full...
I am looking for some BoB (JUN - OCT 1940) examples of non-squadron nose art...especially on Hurricanes...pin-up would be good...orjust examples to show variety used.
Thanks!
