    What is the Hot Water Treatment and How to do it for Flying Jackets?

    I love the jacket, and what i should have been looking for was the warm water treatment or hand-hot . Found it in the repro irvin thread. Just damping the inside shearling to let it curl tighter. Then I'll be able to move my arms again 8)

    The full-dress "Boiled Shirt"

    Actually any decent shirt maker should be able to copy your existing shirt. Secondly Marcella is for Waistcoats and black tie shirts , Plain, stiff front detached collar for white tie , along with proper court shoes, not patent leather oxfords great site as usual 8)
