    Creased zipper on MA-1

    So, I own a black MA-1 flight jacket and the zipper has gotten really creased from wearing it, probably because of sitting down with the jacket zipped up. It looks really untidy because of the creases on the zipper area that make the zipper look "wavy", like I had a horribly deformed body that...

    What are boots like this called?

    So, this is a clip from a Finnish comedy film from the 70's. The mechanic man in the clip is wearing some interesting looking boots/shoes. You can see the boots pretty well at 0:58 and at 1:10. I just wonder what those boots are called, does anyone know? If anyone is wondering about what is...

    Cleaning and conditioning a leather jacket

    So, I have a brown leather jacket that I got from a relative, who has owned it for 30 years already and it has never been cleaned or conditioned.

    Dax Short and Neat - pomade or what?

    Sewing on suspender buttons

    So, I've been planning to get suspender buttons sewn in the inside of the waistband of my new dress pants. But if the buttons are sewn, wouldnt there be stitching visible on the outside and it would look untidy? I guess it would be really hard to sew them only on the lining, but a tailor can...

    Double-breasted suit with 4 buttons?

    So, I ordered a used double-breasted suit from internet(Finnish site, you probably won't understand if I mention the name), because it was so cheap and in good condition according to the seller, who had a reputation as a good seller. While looking at the picture of the suit, I noticed that it...

    Smoking old cigarettes and other kinds of tobacco products

    Does anyone else here have any experience on smoking old cigarettes? I once happened to find an old pack of cigarettes(brand was Armiro) around from year 1980. I decided to smoke them, though they were old. They didn't taste pretty much like anything, but it wasn't a surprise as they happened to...

    Columbo raincoat

    Now that I own a trench coat that's perfect for me, I would like to get a "normal" raincoat, single-breasted, no belt, no epaulets, no gunflap, no rainshield at the back etc. Pretty much like Lt. Columbo wore in the TV series "Columbo". It doesn't have to be exactly the same, but pretty much...

    Pants waist size

    So, yes, this is a thing I have always wondered. My waist size is 40 inches, but I wear pants with 33 inch waist... How come do they fit me? I measure my waist with a brand new measure tape and I measure the part where my pants go and not the narrowest point, which is the "actual waist". Can...
