    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-26684324 http://www.nurseysheepskin.co.uk/ Whilst the traditional sheepskin coat is not to everyones' tastes it's sad to see a company with such a long history fading away like this.

    Seventh Doctor's Hat

    From what I can tell it's a pretty standard rollable panama. Can our hat experts detect any finer identifying details? Where might I get a reasonably priced one, in the UK if poss.

    Kakadu Trailmaster Clone

    I've sort of been admiring the Trialmaster from afar, seeing as I'd never drop what Belstaff want on a jacket, the Kakadu Nelson caught my eye. I know it's not 100%. What do you guys think of the Kakadu. Anybody have one and can review? How do the sizes run? It's currently about $150...

    Visit to Christys'/Hornets hats, London.

    A friend of mine was good enough to send me a few pics of his visit to the Christys' shop in Church Street, Kensington, London. The shop was quite busy so he didn't have too much time to frame his hat photos, so please allow for that, but very nice to see. Fab looking shop.

    USW Vintage Cow

    You may have seen the problems some of us smaller guys have had with the sizing of the US Wings jackets. I wrote to them... 40 inch chest 1XXlb etc etc. They came back and said we have a medium that should suit you fine! I played it safe i thought so got a Goatskin A2 in Small. It swamped me...

    Cooper Questions?

    Does anyone know if Cooper is now defunct? Have they decided to quit being a retailer and moved into manufacturing only? What is their relationship with US Wings, do they have any common employees and what is the mechanism for Wings selling their old Indy Jacket and some of their A-2's (I...

    Some Aero Leathers

    Dark brown goat, chocolate steer and russet horse for those of you who are contemplating a jacket from them. Of these three the steer is the thickest, next is the goat and thinnest is the horse (but only just). The steer is quite stretchy, the goat not, and the horse supple and easily creased.

    Nice leather creases

    I like how this leather is aging. Is it the tanning process or the type of leather that makes it do this? Is the creasing characteristic of any particular leather? I think it may be horse?

    What leather conditioner do you use?

    For those older jackets that seem to be drying out, what are the arguements for and against mink oil as opposed to something like, say, Pecard?

    Anyone have a G1?

    Jerky and Pullup?

    Hello folks, a question for you leather enthusiasts out there: Is Jerky leather the same as Pull Up? Ss it from any particular animal or is it just the finishing method? Is it good or bad tho get a jacket made of either? I want the jacket to age nicely and quickly. Thanks, Kt.

    Hi from Kt Templar

    Hi there, I'm one of those strange folk from COW, heard you were a great bunch here after the recent cross pollination at the QM and thought I'd pop in have a nose around if that's ok? I've already jumped in on a couple of threads that were too enticing and forgot to say hi in my haste!
