    Scott Willis Service Belt for OFJ

    Hi Folks, recently had a chance to take a couple of pictures of the Service Belt Scott Willis created for Original Flightjackets, Germany. The belt is based on a 50s Alpine mountain infantry belt which in return is based on an Austrian service belt from WW 1. So the pattern is quite old but I...

    The Magnificent Seven / The Sons of Katie Goodyear (Pic heavy)

    Sorry for the title Folks! No, this thread does not belong in the silver screen section because I just wanted to show you a couple of my current shoes/boots. Now that autumn is moving in, the last boatshoe and loafer days are gone and it's time to get out the more substantial stuff. This is my...

    Custom Russell Moccasin Boot in brown Horween CHXL from OFJ...Pic heavy

    Hello everyone! Last week I drove once again down to see the guys at Original Flightjackets ( www.original-flightjackets.com ).

    Shawl collar wool A-1 style jacket by Essemplare

    Hi there, does anybody of you own (or have handled) this beautiful jacket? It's made by Italian brand Esemplare. The guy behind it used to work or still works for Stone Island. So you can guess it's dear but also well made and crafted from heavy, quality materials. It was part of their...

    AERO Bronco - this is how it looks on me, PICS

    Since there's been a bit of interest in Aero's Bronco lately I've decided to take a couple of pics of me wearing this specific jacket. Some people seemed to be curious about how the Bronco fits. I hope that the following pics might help to shed some light on that question. This is not my...

    Is this a genuine B-3 or a costume sheepskin jacket? (The War Lover content)

    Titel says it. Is this a real B-3 with one collar strap missing or could this be a costume department repro? I'm not an expert on sheepskin...expert views very welcome Btw: The young Robert Wagner looks dead smart whereas the "King of Cool" looks like he just left elementary school...

    Little mod to "the Cockpit" G1 pocket...with pictures

    Morning all! Did this to my Cockpit G1 because I felt that the original bakelite buttons were too small... -Replaced mil-spec bakelite buttons with larger and thicker buffalo horn buttons. The button hole easily accomodates a larger size button -Button backed with a leather disc for added...

    "The Cockpit" Mil Spec G1… one week old but water-vintaged…with pics

    It’s the old spray bottle trick again! This time used on a brand new Mil Spec G1 made by the Cockpit (formerly Avirex). When the jacket arrived I was impressed by how well it was made… ….Although it’s certainly not up to the same degree of quality or as heavy as an Aero M422a or its Eastman or...

    Modified Gloverall 512 Dufflecoat (with a twist)

    Hello everybody, last week I had a bit of time at my hand during evenings and I decided I would try my (poor) sewing and leather skills at something substantial and robust in my collection of jackets. Not too long ago I'd seen a Nigel Cabourn modification on a peacoat which then had leather...

    My White's/Hathorn Hi Line Ranch Farmer workboot (pics)

    I always had a soft spot for vintage styled quality work boots and during the last decade I must have had at least 6 pairs of RedWings and two pairs of Alden 405s. Somehow I totally missed White's, Wesco and Viberg as those brands don't have many retailers in Germany (if any). A couple of years...

    RW Beckman goes Alden 405/403

    See for yourself. It's not an original RW design but I quite like the model. Sort of a budget 405... The RW 9030 features a couple of nice details I like to see on semi-dress boots: - Full leather lining - Stacked leather heel - Rubber half sole over leather sole - Quality uppers (Horween...

    Aero Indy Jacket...Pics.

    While browsing the offerings of the usual supects I found two pictures of Aero's Indy Jacket which the German dealer calls "1981 Indypendent". The pics show it in Aero's older style oil-pull horsehide. I'm sure that it's available in various choices of leather. I'm not a huge fan of...

    Thorogood Moctoes modified/resoled...pics

    Hello Gents, here are a couple of pictures of my cherished Thorogood 6" Moc Toes. I like them much better than the ubiquitous Red Wing 8138/8131. They feature a true double stitched construction with reverse storm welt and padded and rolled top. Recently I had new soles fitted but instead...
