    Source for Benrus WW2 Commemorative Hack Watch ?

    I'm probably too late in trying to find one of these watches as they went out of production some years ago, but does anyone know where they're still available ? The used ones eBay seem to be pricey - are they really hard to find ?

    Spear Point Shirt Collar Question

    I'm thinking about ordering some shirts with spear point collars from Luxire. I want to wear them with a clip on collar pin. Please can I have some tips on the specifications (collar length/materials/construction) to get "the Boardwalk Empire look" right ?

    What's Happened To Diamond Caps ?

    Over the last 2 weeks, I've emailed Diamond 3 times because I want to buy one of their crusher caps but I haven't received any reply. Does anyone know whether they - a) Have gone out of business ? b) Are so rabidly anti-British that they don't want to sell me one ? (I'm only joking !)...

    Replica WW2 US Visor Caps

    I know that Diamond Cap Company crushers are undoubtedly the best replicas but they're rather expensive for something I just want to wear when taking a WW2 jeep to a show and which will probably get wet. I have several original visors I can wear in less rough conditions. There are a lot of junk...

    BeVo Police Cap Eagle

    Please can someone direct me to a source for a repro Bevo Police eagle for a German M38 or M40 Police feldmutze (overseas cap) ? They don't see to be available here in England. I'm not looking for the combined eagle/cockade used on M43 caps, just an eagle.

    Here Are Sources For French Army Rough-out Buckle Boots

    Some time back a Lounger was bemoaning the fact that French Army Mle.48 boots were difficult to find in the US. I've just got a new old stock pair on French eBay for 10 Euros (about $10). Just search Militaria for "Rangers". After I'd bought mine, I looked on www.leboncoin.fr and found many...

    Orchard M/C A-2 and G-1 Jackets

    I've had an Orchard G-1 for 17 years but the zipper has just broken. The quotes I've had for installing a new one are so astronomical that it would be almost as cheap to buy a new Orchard on my next trip to the US (to avoid the dreaded shipping cost, VAT and the Post Office "handling charge")...

    Buttons Inside a WW2 US Army Officer's Tunic

    I've just bought an original officer's chocolate tunic. It has 2 buttons sewn into the back of the lining below the armholes. Anyone know what they're for ?

    Inexpensive Alternative To A Rangoon Shirt

    If, like me, your waistline is too big and your bank balance is too small to buy an Eastman Rangoon, try a German Bundeswehr olive green field shirt. The cotton/polyester cloth has about the same weight and texture of a Rangoon. The collar is quite long as well. The collar pulls together well...

    Orchard A-2 Jackets on eBay

    I wear a 42 suit jacket but I find my Cooper A-2 in 42R is OK with a shirt but a bit too tight to wear a thick sweater or sweatshirt underneath. I've just bought a Mazda Miata and I'm looking for a jacket I can layer up underneath to keep out the chill of open top driving. So, I'm tempted to...

    Source for Mohair Band for WW2 Crusher

    I've just bought a really nice EM's chocolate elastique crusher except it has a big moth hole in the band at the front. As a repair would be uneconomic, I'd like to cover it by putting on an officer style olive drab mohair band. I did this on another similar cap (a clunker I wear at shows)...

    Where Can I Get Hat Repair In The United Kingdom ?

    Please can anyone suggest somewhere I can get a hat properly re-blocked in the UK ? Last time I sent one to Steve Delk I had awful problems persuading UK Customs when it came back that I hadn't bought the hat in the US but had simply sent it to Steve for repair. I don't want to willingly...

    Renovating Leather Visors on WW2 Caps

    I've just picked up an enlisted man's size 7 1/4 true crusher on eBay (For $22 !!!) but the leather on the single-thickness visor is rather dry. I don't want to leave it to ultimately crack. Is there anything I can treat it with to keep it supple without ruining the semi-matt finish on the...

    Coat Buckles

    I need a source for a replacement buckle for the belt on my trenchcoat. Brown plastic, leather or horn will do. I've Googled and Asked Jeeves, but there doesn't seem to be anyone selling them in the UK. Where can I find one, please ?

    Leather Sweatband Sources

    I've just bought a US Army WW2 cap on eBay. I gave it a little tweak on the stretcher to fit my modest 7 1/4 head and the inevitable happened - the sweatband split through !!! Please does anyone know a source for the correct type of leather for me to make a replacement ?
