    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Hi all, just picked up a pair of vintage Engineer boots. Probably '50s or '60s judging from the construction. I have slathered them in pecards and plan on wearing them. Any suggestions to take care of them better? No, I do not know the brand, all that is worn off. Cats Paw heels with oil...

    Double Breasted Leather Jackets

    I love, LOVE the Dr. Who jacket from the 9th Doctor. Trying to fit back into miune again. Wested, don't you know. Like the style, not a fan of the longer ones. I do like the idea of a leather Peacoat.

    Aero Thunderbay BlackFQHH red mouton collar size 50

    I've been on this forum for years and this is the first time I thought to myself "this guy has issues". Yeah, something should be added to the rules about this.

    False Valor/ Walter Mitty

    Actually, it's not. The Stolen Valor law was struck down by the Surpreme Court in 2011 or so and a adjusted 2012 law never made it out of the House. There's a HUGE, ENORMOUS difference between some idiot claiming to be from SEAL Team 90 who personally killed Bin Laden and a guy wearing a sweet...

    RAF Aircrew Boots

    Yep, the leather sole is fine as long as your heel is rubber. Does anybody have Jerry Lee's '36 Pattern boots?

    Budget, i.e., "Econo" leather jackets

    I have the WPG A-2 and love it. Badged it up and wear it all the time. I think it's pretty damn nice for the price.

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    Bloody negatives this week. Been alternating between the B-10 and the A-2 with a heavy sweater. Both work surprisingly well!

    My A-2 if finally complete!

    Hell yeah! Marcel was actually a Combat Intelligence Officer, hence his initial involvement in the whole Roswell debacle.

    My A-2 if finally complete!

    Correct! And his first was name John, hence the "J". This is quickly becoming my favorte jacket.

    My A-2 if finally complete!

    I purchased a WPG A-2 over the summer and have slowly been badging it up. I reenact but I reenact a Combat Inteligence Officer, like Jesse Marcel! (kudos if you know that name!). The squadron patch is my grandfather's, the 82nd Tactical Reconnaissance, 5th Air Force, SW Pacific. I do have a...

    Peacoat advice

    If it fits, just keep it. The small bites won't detract from the coat. $65 is a good price for a kersey.
