    Please help ID this British military jacket

    Thanks Edward! Yeah there's definitely something of the N1 about it. It also reminds me a bit of a 30's sports jacket. I contacted Jamie from Blighty Militaria who said that the 22G contract number identifies it as being R.A.F but that he hadn't come across this design before.

    Please help ID this British military jacket

    I recently got this jacket and I was wandering if someone could shed any light on it as I don't recognise the design. It's definitely British as the label is stamped with the broad arrow due to the colour I'm guessing R.A.F or civil defence? The cut is a little reminiscent of battledress...

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    I managed to find a 10 button Pea Coat in a charity shop yesterday for £16. I've not seen many ww2 era Pea Coats in the UK so i was pretty chuffed. Interestingly it is missing it's label and there's no sign of any stenciling however judging by the weight and quality of the cloth, the cuff...

    Post Pics of Your Cafe Racer Jackets

    I was wandering if someone might be able to ID this jacket that i thrifted yesterday. It's got a few similarities to some Schott's, Brooks and Lesco's that I've seen but since it's missing its zip out liner there's no makers label. The pockets and side zips are all brass Talons while the...
