    Akubra size question

    Same thing happened to my Akubra hat, and it is the leather sweatband that shrunk by approximately 2 sizes. I can hardly wear it now and it just sits so high on my forehead, not at the place where it used to sit anymore. I am looking for a quality leather to replace the sweatband. Hopefully I...

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    I read it from a forum that North Sea Clothing’s submariner is supplied by OK. But NSC is way above my budget so I never have a chance to see it for myself.

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    A Small OK submariner measures 18” in chest. And my Medium submariner is 20” in chest, just like yours. So I expect the Large to be 22” in chest. So you are between Medium and Large. I can squeeze myself into a Small, but I don’t like that look. And the wool yarn at my armpits would stretch...

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    Your OK submariner just looks exactly the same as mine. Sizing up is a good idea. This jumper looks too small on you.

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    OK’s Black Friday offer is out now. The body of my OK submariner is much longer than Richmond’s. It comes all the way down to my crotch. I suppose that comes in handy in a cold submariner.

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    Wait until Black Friday if you want to buy a jumper from Outdoor Knitwear. OK usually has a 15% off offer on or near Black Friday. And how long are your arms? OK’s submariner jumper is long in the body but not very long in the arms. I am 5’8” and 41” in chest and wear a Medium. It fits me...

    Workware 3day union A2

    WW is more on the fashion side than repro side. I would call their products a vintage-inspired fashion. WW used to offer a USN N-1 jacket a few years ago. While the real-deal had alpaca lining, WW's N-1 came with synthetic fiber lining. And yet they still charged like HKD 2K (around USD 256)...

    Workware 3day union A2

    Yes, Workware is a Hong Kong company. I went to WW’s flagship store and saw their A-2 jackets in the flesh. It was reasonably nice, but WW’s horsehide was just too soft and shinny for my liking. And WW only offered it in size 36-40. It sat at the price range of Aero Leather’s A-2. But you...

    New Aero A2 Jacket - keep or return?

    Hi Matt, in my humble opinion, the shoulder width is good. And the body length is spot on. Though the chest seems to be slightly on the baggy side when zipped up, you can just wear a sweater or shirt beneath the jacket to fill it up. And since this is a jerky horsehide jacket, you can expect...
