That's a nice one!
Looks to have not been worn-or very little.
I was not wearing the hats in my collection so I sold all of them on greedbay a couple weeks ago.Well almost all, I still have a couple panamas left
After they were all boxed and sent to their new caretakers (the sold ones are...
It would not be too difficult for a sub commander to have a G-1 flight jacket- in fact I think I remember seeing a photo somewhere showing a submarine officer with one.
When there was enough shiny stuff in the form of rank resting on the shoulders a lot of "against regulation" things could...
Just wear 'em!
I do and at this point in my life I have learned how to "wear with care" my clothing and be careful at the same time.I wear a small size and have worn original everything for years with no worries.
however... I dont wear jackets with patches or painting or jackets with problems...
Sad
I used to own that jacket back in the early 90's
It was a flight engineer's jacket( named to someone washburn I think) and it came from a guy in toledo ohio who bought it from the veteran.
It still had the patch on it when I sold it to a guy in california. It looks like the knit has...
You know.... finding these "idiot" listings on ebay is just too easy.
I dont know which is worse the truly dim bulbs who list amazing shite as something they think is real or the tricky cads who know what it is yet make outlandish claims as to its authenticity.
In any event there are too...
I have had good results with a product called brass black or aluminum black(basically the same)in which the active ingredient is selenium dixoide.
You need to make sure any coating is removed before treating the brass as many brass buckles and parts are coated to prevent tarnish.

When I wore suits often I occasionally wore western boots with suits in the midwest as I pleased. As I see it, it's the same as any shoe worn with a suit- low key,correct color, not too extreme style works just fine.
I used to wear a pair of vintage 50's black leather Acme boots with a...
This is a russet Real McCoy Japan horsehide A-2 that I bought from Glen Sweeting, author of "combat flying clothing and another on flying equipment.
He told me that they sent it to him for helping them with details or something like that for the jackets they were making. I sold it but ended up...
Airborne officers during WW2 were issued A-2 jackets due to their involvment in aerial flight. It was probably intended a morale booster but in looking through the early regimental parachute histories it appears all officers were issued A-2 jackets and most wore their regimental patch with a...
Amazing!

I have seen countless vintage suits with a crease pressed into the sleeve- as long as they were not recently cleaned. I've also seen a lot of pre-war and wartime military uniforms pressed the same way. I like it- of course anything old-style is usually something I like!
all the best,

Given my choice I prefer true vintage boots but they are just not always availble.One vintage pair that are nice and occasionally found reasonable are Acme. Acme boots have a super leather and sole, all leather/cloth interiors, nice details in the fancy ones, but for some reason sometimes come...
Pretty much same as above...using tape allows you to position it and take a look in the mirror so its looks "right"
If sewing it yourself(brave) be sure to have the foot of the machine on top of the leather.
