Curious thing, but on the way to work today a guy got on the train wearing a woodland version
of an M65. At first glance much the same as you can buy anywhere except that this particular model
had reinforced elbows and buttons on the cuffs instead of the usual velcro fittings.
The jacket...
Just been watching The War Lover featuring Steve McQueen and Robert Wagner and must admit to being
somewhat puzzled over the small piece of leather hanging out on the right shoulder of McQueen´s B3 flight jacket.
What is the purpose..is it something to do with rank insignia?
Just been looking at the Chambray shirt on offer from QMI and its a lot
cheaper that the Buzz Ricksen version. Anyone with any info on these shirts
regarding quality or sizing?
Just curious after watching a documentary about the Grenadier guards how the boots are polished like mirrors
but the sole and heels are black as well. Is this because they apply polish to the leather sole to help waterproofing?
Fine sturdy footwear but would make a nice mess of a dancefloor!
Anyone out there with any info. on Levis 505 jeans and did Levis ever
produce a 502 Shrink To Fit model c. 1972?
Seem to recall an ad in the magazines around that time.
Have heard that modern DMs are now made in the far east and that sadly, quality has suffered as a result.
Does anyone have any views on this?
Also, Solovair shoes are said to be superior and would welcome any opinions regarding this.
Cheers
Having seen the movie Das Boot, Just wondering can you buy a leather jacket as worn by U boat crews during WW2. The double breasted type or the biker style one worn by Johan the engineroom ghost.
