    problem with the talon zip of my eastman B3 50 cal

    Hi Septimus - great you have reached Gary finally - in addition I want to recommend Mr. Rob Brace at Eastman rob@eastmanleather.com, who has corresponded to my recent replies very quickly and kindly on several occassions. In fact I've experienced a similar issue with my Eastman B-3 Time Worn...

    B-Beautiful in a B-10..! (The ultimate American Beauty cloth flight wear)

    Hi all. I'm currently selling my brand new Buzz Rickson's B-10 Rough Wear in size 40 on the bay (imported from Rakuten Shop in Japan). It's too trim for me, I need a 42. Matter of taste, but compared to Pike, Aero and ELC I like the Buzz best, because of the darker shaded knits and neater shaped...

    Horsehide: shaping the collar of an Aero A-2 | pics

    Hey Brett, they just call it Russet HH, but Amanda told me it's basically the same als "Smooth Russet" or "Smooth Russet Mid Weight" - also on their Sale page. In fact I owned (and sold) several A-2s from Aero (oil pull HH, jerky seal and regular midweight seal HH) but this russet one is...

    Horsehide: shaping the collar of an Aero A-2 | pics

    Thanks HD - will treat my Aero 1950's Bomberjacket the same way now. Guess it cannot harm the leather if you don't enforce drying. Cheers, Thomas

    Horsehide: shaping the collar of an Aero A-2 | pics

    Hi gents, I'm a seldom poster (more often reader) here, so here's a brief introduction of myself: my name is Thomas - I have a small collection of Aero, Eastman and Buzz Rickson's flight jackets over the years. I'm more into replicas - I want to wear these jackets without caring too much. My...

    Aero web site

    Denim To add one thing to the already mentioned: I'd like to get actual waist measurements in the denim section - or at least the info, if the model runs true to size or not. More details in descriptions would be nice also.

    Windward jackets by Montgomery Ward (and copies)

    any more Windwards Ciao amice! Am I right, do you have a black and a cordovan one? Or just some color difference in the photos? Your cordovan one looks very georgious, congrats! I've worn mine not so much yet - I found it a bit cold with the weather conditions at the moment (0-10 celsius)...

    glossy finish on B-3 / B-6

    Thanks for useful advises, guys. Very much appreciated. :) I'll try something out. By the way: I recently purchased Eastman's new B-3 in broken grain sheepskin, and this very tough leather surface develops a shine while wearing in, up to my notice. Thanks again, Thomas.

    glossy finish on B-3 / B-6

    Hi, I may belong to a minority, but I especially like a glossy finish on seal brown sheepskin jackets such as a B-3 or B-6. Maybe someone here can give my an advise how to "lacquer" or "shine" my Eastman B-6, which is well worn at the moment, and very matte in finish. Of course without...

    Just ordered Aero Windward jacket

    Bluegrass feltfan, James King is a great singer! While you're in San Francisco, be shure to check out San Francisco based THE EARL BROTHERS, a new Old Time Music formation with appalachian background (Virginia, I guess). They sound real ancient, a raw version of the Stanley Brothers! Thomas

    What's your favorite Blugrass band?

    The Earl Brothers Hi, I can't recommend them enough: THE EARL BROTHERS Check out their 3 albums on cdbaby dot com. To my taste, the 2004 and 2006 albums with John McKelvy on vocals are the thrilling ones. A new band with THE ancient tone! Thomas http://www.earlbrothers.com/...

    Proper relaxed A2 fit

    military gear distribution in wartime Baron, in my opinion there's no more need for any "wartime concepts" concerning jackets or other stuff. My wardrobe doesn't seem to be a museum, either. Let's get the proper fit ;) Thomas
