    Lewis leathers 1936 pattern flying boots

    Boots from Motorcowboy are still available. The vamp on their boots is (reportedly) correct. I don't know if they have improved the noted issues in their current production boots, however. Really interested to know how the two boots compare!!!! I've go the funds and I'm ready to buy...I'm just...

    Flying boots

    Hi Ponsenby, I just saw your review of the Motorcowboy Patt 36 boots. Very interesting? Have you seen or heard much about the Lewis Leathers boots? Given that you have a pair of Motorcowboy boots, I was wondering what your opinion might be of them? What are your thoughts and impressions...

    Lewis leathers 1936 pattern flying boots

    Hello All, I'm pretty keen to know this also - but these boots are no longer available from Aero or Eastman (both have since confirmed that they have no plans whatsoever to re-introduce this product). How do the Lewis boots compare to the Motorcowboy boots? Apparently, the vamp is correctly...

    Third Reich leatherwear

    Jackets Hi all, Ron, your suspicion is indeed correct. Current Ri-Ri zippers do not carry the D.R.P marks at all. Not sure when they stopped using such markings. I would imagine that they probably 'dropped' their use soon after the war or when the paptent period lapsed (typically, 25 years...

    Flying boots

    RM Williams Repro Patt 36'ers Hi Windsock et al, Just tried to PM you but haven't been successful. I'd be interested in a pair of RM Williams Repros. How many interested parties does that make so far? I imagine that they would be quite expensive, but figure that it would be worthwhile...

    Flying boots

    1936 boots Hi guys, Well, I was going to place an order with Aero leather the other day, but am holding back (at least, for the moment) until I can figure out which way I should go. The question is: Are/would the WPG boots be worth waiting for? I e-mailed Jerry the other day, asking...

    Flying boots

    1936 Pattern Flying boot Hi All, I'm only new to the forum, as a matter of fact, I've only just stumbled across it due to my search on info for the 1936 Pattern boots! I love the look of the '36 Flying boot, and have wanted a pair ever since I first started looking at my fathers war books...
