    How do loungers deal with extreme cold weather?

    IMO cold weather is a pretext for wearing old heavy vintage clothes we love. For me: ANJ4 (eastman) Irvin modified (ALC) RN Duffle coat M51 fishtail parka Barbour Beaufort or Moorland with lining. Cheers

    What do you think of this ALC irvin?

    Hi, and welcome. I've got the same. It's well made, but differents little things could be better. I usually wear a 40, and mine is a size 40. The chest is good, maybe a little snuggy. So I'm affraid a 38 is probably to small if you usually wear 40... It's not an exact replica, you are right...

    Schott Perfecto Score

    Hello. I would say late 80's/early 90's. I don't remember when the bull was replaced by a biker on his bike, but it could be an indication. I never see a YKK zipper on this before (it doesn't seem a replacement). So, it's after Talon period, and before the Schott brand name zips. Moreover, I...
