    The International Wool Felt Consortium

    All of my brimmed hats (non-caps) are of the wool felt variety. I have never owned a "fur felt" hat and probably never will, due to price.

    Vintage Gillette Razor(s)

    Nice collection of Gillettes! I'm more a an "Single Edge" [SE] guy myself. I often use the GEM 1912, or 1914 for my shaves. The convenience of a saftey razor, with the shave quality of a straight razor.

    Shuron Glasses

    I have some modern Shuron frames. I bought them directly from Shuron, took them to the Optrician Shop and told them to put lenses in them matching my prescription. Task accomplished, no problem, no argument. They are just to lazy to do anything out of the regular routine, so had to do some of...

    Cockpit 100 Mission G-1

    Nice honest review. The only thing I have a hard time coming to terms with about the jacket, is the light color of the "mouton color". Myself, I prefer the more "honey" color that I see on some of the jackets. The other stylistic inconsistancies don't bother me.

    Looking for a first leather jacket, likely the only one I'll have for a long time.

    "Something close to this, with a few slight tweaks, in a rich or even chocolate brown. That's the jacket I identify with and the one I want. That's my jacket." Wow, that's one nice looking jacket (Original 1930s "TEST" Motorcycle/Work Jacket). I especially like the russet brown color.

    ? Questions from a Newbie ?

    ? Questions from a Newbie ? Hello all, . . . . . After being a “silent lurker” for about a year and absorbing all the great info/knowledge about custom and vintage leather garments I have a couple of questions to ask. This last summer I inherited a vintage “bomber jacket”. The jacket was...
