    MONSIVIAS GINGER TWEED & SIMONDS CHOCOLATE LINEN CAPS for sale IN UK

    Hello chaps I have two hand made caps by two of our favourite cap makers for sale on ebay, one unused and one hardly used. I expect these will be of most interest to UK and European loungers given the cost of transatlantic postage, but check the listing...

    How black is blackened brown vicenza?

    A simple question, though i suspect I might not get a simple answer! The sample i have from Aero is .....well, black. Defo not brown. In fact in blind comparisons I chose it as "blacker" than the black vicenza. But I see from some comments on the web others seem to detect the brown basecoat...

    AERO LEATHER WATER RESISTANCE TESTS

    Well I did this for my own purposes but i thought you guys might be interested in the results. I have a good number of Aero leather samples in the house (I expect I'm not alone) and thought I'd do some crude experimentation on water resistance. Here's the results: some of it expected, some of...

    1940s 50s GERMAN "LUFTWAFFE" LEATHER BIKE/FLIGHT JACKET 38-40

    Next jacket up is an original mid-20th century German black leather cyclist/utility jacket. Jackets like this were made from the 1930s to the 60s and are often referred to as “Luftwaffe” jackets due to their popularity with WW2 fighter pilots. I'd say this one was from the 40s or 50s, but I'm no...

    Synthetic fibres in occupied europe?

    In UK menswear synthetic fibres didn’t really take off until around the mid-1950s. By the mid-1960s they were fairly common and widespread. But does anyone know whether synthetic fibres were extensively used during WW2 in Germany and occupied Europe? I’ve never really thought about this before...

    Hot hillbilly from the uk!!

    I'd like to introduce Loungers to what Mark Lamarr (BBC top rockin' DJ) has described as "the best Hillbilly band in the UK", the DEL RIO RAMBLERS. Spookily authentic recreation of late 1940s/early 1950s Country - Hillbilly Bop, Western Swing, and Honky Tonk. Knowledgeable people have...

    GRENFELL CLOTH jacket & PICK 777 slipover/tank top

    I've got various things on ebay at the moment, but the gems have to be a rare example of the Pick 777, allegedly the original "slipover" design from 1929, and a beautiful example of a mid 20th century Grenfell Cloth windcheater. These are the sort of things I keep for myself when they are my...

    THE PERFECT 1930'S FLAT CAP - if you are a pinhead...

    this is the cap I've been trying to find most of my adult life. I nearly wept with excitement when I first saw it....and with disappointment when I saw (no surprise of course) that it was a paltry UK 6 3/4 (US 6 7/8, Euro 55). It will probably stretch a size bigger of course (though no...

    VINTAGE SKINNY WHIP BELTS

    I've been selling these skinny "croc" belts one at a time on evilbay over the last few months - I had around a dozen originally and I'm now down to the last two. I think they are probably 1960s/70s era but they look great with 1930s-50s trousers. Before I list them I thought I'd offer them...
