    Wool Knit Cap?

    Does anyone know what website has very large wool knit caps for men? I was looking for the plain, solid color navy type knit cap. All of the websites seem to have the one size fits all (except for me). These caps are never large, nor long enough. I never see any oversize cap. I can't be the only...

    I'm assuming our resident Professor of Peacoats, "Peacoat" , would know quite a bit about my quick questions here, but feel free to chime in. Peacoat - when did you start scouring ebay for Kersey peacoats? At that time I'm assuming there were many more Kersey peacoats listed , and in a large...

    Wrangler Denim Jacket Question?

    Does anyone know if Wrangler makes a new vintage denim jacket # WPL 6428? I bought one in Oct. 1981. It is 100% cotton, and has two chest pockets with flaps, and two hand pockets. I believe this was the "standard", common Wrangler model back then and earlier. I looked on the internet but didn't...

    Eagerly Awaiting New G&B Civil A-2

    Was thinking of supplementing my Cockpit goatskin A-2 with a G&B civil goatskin A-2. They are now offering 15% off in January so I guess I needed to make my move. I've heard that their sizes are pretty large so for the 48 tall Cockpit I ordered, I decided to order a 46 tall seal goatskin from...

    Gibson and Barnes A-2 Questions

    What do the A-2 mavens think of a goatskin G&B jacket? Is it the same quality as a Cockpit? Do the sizes run small or larger? They have a goatskin for $378.00. They seem to be a bit cheaper than others. Are they good jackets for the money? Thank you.

    US Navy 13 Button Wool Pants Questions

    I just bought a new pair of the US Navy 13 button sailor wool pants. These are the pants which are worn with the "crackerjack" navy shirts. The seller told me they were made in 1988. I have a few questions concerning these. 1) The color of these pants is black. Were the older pants (50s-70s)...

    Pea Coat Prices

    I just saw on the Vintage Trends website a size 46 (my size) pea coat in excellent condition. The price was a whopping $375.00. I just bought a pea coat from them last year. It was a size 46 and was supposed to be in mint condition (almost, but not quite). I think the price was $225.00. I did...

    Pea Coat Size

    I recently just bought a 1969 Kersey. The tag has it marked as a 46R. I wasn't sure if it would be long enough for me (I'm just under 6'-3"). Surprisingly it fits great. The sleeve length and body length are fine. It fits me almost the same as my 1969 Kersey 44L. I would have thought that the...

    For the past 6 months I have bought a few pea coats. They are all in excellent condition except that they usually come laden with dust, hair, lint, etc. I bought a regular clothes/coat brush for them to get all of this stuff off. First I usually vacuum them, then use the clothes brush. I...
