    The Hunt for Practical Classic Gloves

    They are nice, but exactly not what I'm looking for.

    The Hunt for Practical Classic Gloves

    Well I own a pair of EGs which are not bespoke and at £600-700 they do not appear as handcrafted as Januszkiewicz's were (but they do have antiquiing which I remember Januszkiewicz cannot do) but I must say I was very tempted at the time with Januszkiewicz's work. Someone I know has had Lobbs...

    The Hunt for Practical Classic Gloves

    The ones above have a shorter u shape and lower button or were you referring to the Chester Jefferies? I'm going to Poland for a couple of weeks soon, it's quite an unknown gem for bespoke stuff especially leathers and suits which you some 5 years ago get for very cheap and very old school...

    The Hunt for Practical Classic Gloves

    Hello everyone, I've so far failed in my exhaustive 1 year hunt for the perfect practical classic glove in black. Of particular importance is inseam stitching, as large seams on the outside stop a 2nd skin fit and make the glove less practical (this is the common cut on classic officer gloves...

    Understated Flight/Bomber Jackets

    I've heard somewhere you can actually order an international jacket from Barbour and request they don't put the label on the front for the same price as a normal jacket in the shops. The Nato jackets from what I can tell were usually black although I have seen them in green, they were actually...

    My new Barbour International jacket.

    Barbour's actually done very well with the vanity labels, but it's not in my taste, a little like Ralph Lauren they make great clothes, but do they have to put their label on it? The buckles aren't actually bad, it's just there are other makers who for 2/3 of the price of a Barbour...

    Understated Flight/Bomber Jackets

    Having being re-united with my jacket, I can now reveal the maker of the jacket I received from the US. It is made by a remarkably cheap producer called "Burks Bay", they are not %100 tradional or accurate but from the quality would have thought they were a little more expensive! I think I'm...

    My new Barbour International jacket.

    I own the full Barbour Nato international suit which I bought new! Back when they didn't put silly barbour labels and huge British flags on their clothing. They are lovely jackets. My complaints are these, the inside pocket you mention is pretty annoying and hence unused except for maybe a...

    Understated Flight/Bomber Jackets

    I'm more of a classic biker than an all leather fluorescent disaster on an over powered bike. I have a classic international motorcycle jacket, one of the older Nato issue barbour ones (so no stupid label), it also has no protection or armour, armour is not a prerequisite for me. When I get...

    Understated Flight/Bomber Jackets

    I think I may have to go to the US in the winter and do a load of shopping, simply can't do it at the moment and also its coming up to spring. Some lovely jackets everyone's showed me, I'm afraid the Gibson Barnes jackets are pretty much all brown. The other jackets are also nice but please...

    Understated Flight/Bomber Jackets

    Hello everyone! I'm looking for a understated black flight/bomber jacket for motorcycling. I'm not interested in having the shortest one possible because that was US fashion in the 40s or having something original. I was given a new brilliant dark brown flight/bomber jacket as a gift from the...
