    What Jacket are you wearing 'this month?'

    Just use a photobucket account. Copy and paste IMG links here. Works perfectly all the time for me. I view the site here in PC mode.

    Made my own belts; First ever

    Hmm, I'm not sure if utter silence to my thread is overall distaste of what I made, or if I'm posting in the wrong sub-forum?

    Made my own belts; First ever

    I got some vintage buckles off ebay. I had some veg tanned horsehide sitting at home. So I blended the two together and came up with these. Please let me know how I did? It is my first ever time doing this, and I need practice. I was trying emulating the Sugar Cane Buzz Rickson natural belts...

    Need tips on aging AAF decal on US Authentic

    Update... I just removed the whole thing as I saw the edges, especially at letters, was already lifting away slightly. I am going to just paint something else in place like an 8th patch instead. I think that design looks cooler anyway :-)

    Need tips on aging AAF decal on US Authentic

    Hi All, I got a goat A-2 off ebay last month. It has a left shoulder AAF decal that looks too new, almost too gimicky due to how fresh it looks. In a way I wouldn't mind removing it entirely, but before I do, I'd like to see what it would look like worn. Has anyone got tips on making these...

    Redyed G&B HH A-2

    Can you please tell the technique? Is it a case of just applying dye nearest the fabric, and it migrates into the leather or something else? I am sure a lot of us would like to know :-) thanks!

    Redyed G&B HH A-2

    Looks fantastic! My question is, how did you control dye from getting on the lining, especially at the collar?

    A Message From Aero Leather USA

    From the looks of it, the guy is done. Legal advice? By whom, Lenny "The Screw" Esquire?? Face it, the guy scrammed with a lot of cash that wasnt worth hiding with. What is he going to do once its dried up and he needs money again?

    A-2 Jacket Linings

    Hi, After seeing so many of the vintage A2 jackets linings, I see many have collar snaps on the lining side, covered in the same material as the lining. How is this done? Are manufacturers gluing material over the snap head before installing them, or is lining put over them and somehow snugged...

    I believe same as Andrew. Fair price for an original piece.

    1940's (?) Horsehide Half Belt Upgrade!

    Thanks Edward and jk! I want to see if some knowledgeable jacket gurus see it and give some guesses of the brand it may be. I wore it all day and except for midday warmth, its been a cracker of repelling the cold gusts we have been having here in southeast PA. I left it for a while in my car...

    1940's (?) Horsehide Half Belt Upgrade!

    Thanks! LOL, Actually the collar is soft. I had it up for the pictures. He restictched whole collar everywhere so its soft yet stands up firmly too. I dont know if I need any treatments besides wearing it a lot. So far it is wearing nicely. The new liner makes it feel like a new jacket really :)

    1940's (?) Horsehide Half Belt Upgrade!

    A small detail I left out is the arm pit grommet holes are stitched around and not metal rings. How many HB makers did this and when? Thanks :)

    1940's (?) Horsehide Half Belt Upgrade!

    Has anyone a thought of whom may be maker of the jacket? I have two I can think it being; Fidelity or Californian. Does anyone think I may be right or were there too many leather houses making these in this style to tell differences?
