    Scandinavian leather - translation, please.

    To be honest the only ones I can tell is pigskin they make a lot of suede as well as gloves from vs. cowhide.... the rest are a bit exotic skins... OK => http://www.ultimathule.fi/product_catalog.php?c=2&page=2 here you see hirvennahka = moose skin poronnahka = reindeer skin lammasnahka...

    Scandinavian leather - translation, please.

    Well, if you have a mate at the university with a biology department and a DNA lab its easy ;) The thing here is that moose and reindeer are quite "available" as local skins. And seal used to be... and of course dog mittens...

    LUFTWAFFE FLiES: LEWiS LEATHERS 'DOMiNATOR' Review

    Heh, it came with the zeppelin... this was a case of the blind grain finding a chicken - I was looking for a jacket for a long time and really looking for something vintage but a size 52 isn't easy to come by that'd actually fit.... and then I was one night just browsing. My cycle jacket is a...

    Scandinavian leather - translation, please.

    SPPs Malung Hemslöjd OK, so Malung is a town. Hemslöjd is... hrm... something like "home industry" so a "Handcraft of Malun" the SPPs might be a possessive of SPP... which the only one I know offhand is a pension insurance company... but it might be something else of the era. Äkta...

    Attic find - "dads fishing coat" style U-boat / Dr.Who

    Yes, for new ones that'd be the thing. Theres also say Wearwolf which has got a longer reefer and the shorter I'd call a "DrWho". But I guess shelling out for a *new* one is less fun than stalking the ebay... then theres the cheaper replica places and the tailor-made in India which aren't...

    Attic find - "dads fishing coat" style U-boat / Dr.Who

    Oh, can't say being too well acquainted, its "out west" from my regular haunts. I just stumbled upon the site googling for the model off the local auction sites. They do make tailored specials, and its local industry, so they should be quite good been able to keep going 19 years. Personally...

    Attic find - "dads fishing coat" style U-boat / Dr.Who

    Thats what I was thinking as well - its fit either for a display dummy or something for a tailor. And as far as memories go it'd end up being burnt for the stink after I'd store it another 20 years in some obscure place rotting away - so I'd rather pass it on to someone who still would have some...

    Attic find - "dads fishing coat" style U-boat / Dr.Who

    Yes I love the design too. It feels as if it has "soul" compared to my leather "pea-coat" I got when I was in my 20's which weighs a ton. Now we talk about "leather" with the pea-coat as its thick as anything... Problem with this coat is the leathers not only wafer-thin all the "white bits"...

    Attic find - "dads fishing coat" style U-boat / Dr.Who

    Thought I'd share as someone might have an interest in this holiday-clean attic find. I vaguely remembered my dad's old "fishing coat" being brown and worn out, and after cleaning out during the holidays I finally found it again. So, what do you gentlemen say - vintage feel enough? (pictures...

    Road to Perdition, Tom Hanks Polo Coat - NEED HELP!!!

    OK, I need to take a few pics, I scored a "Harris tweed" trenchcoat a few years back. For a change, it is "too big" for me. I've been looking for a wool trenchcoat/greatcoat, but it seems the only way to find one is to have one tailored... I used to have a Finnish navy officer coat that got too...

    Wanted: Big size (54L=>) G-1 for a longarmed monkey

    Just looking for a G-1, can be mil-spec or civilian cut, I am not looking for the "authenticity" as much as for "it actually fits". Goatskin and real mouton is of course preferrable, but I'm not that picky. USCG spec flush sidewarmers are fine as well as removable collars, zip linings etc...

    Warportraits - Portraits of war

    OK, so as I know you guys are into "Aviation Jackets" heres a few rarer treats maybe... (yes, they *are* beer bottle labels... an I *do* have a pair of Laplander boots, but I don't wear them that high rolled up) (just had to post it here for the sake of the gloves) (note the...

    Warportraits - Portraits of war

    I'd go for "Egyptian Army" uniform, doesn't look a French Sipahi... nor a tirailleur... "too tight pants" But honestly, you need one of these "uniform people" give it one look and relate even the color of the horse that is not in the picture ;) Then again "definite" answer doesn't say they are...
