    I've currently got in circulation- Red wing 'work chukka's' and 'Iron Rangers', some Grenson 'monkey boots', a pair of Eastland 'Otis 1955's', Buzz Rickson '1943 service boots'.... and I know sneakers are often frowned upon, but there is a Slovakian manufacturer called 'Novesta' who have been...

    Unintended 'water treatment'... advice requested...

    Thanks for all the advice people, much appreciated. It has actually turned out to be one of the best mistakes I've made!.... just wearing it round the house as much as possible, and quite often when driving, it has softened up remarkably well... looks pretty damn good as well.. will post some...

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    Wow, some amazing images there. Great to see all the different fits and the different body shapes. Makes me feel better about how I look in my b-3!

    aero b-3 arrived , comparison with my Eastman b-3

    They both look good to me... If it was me, and I could afford to keep both, then I would keep both... But then, you could sell one and use the dough to buy something else... However, if selling one over the other is going to upset the wife... then your decision has surely been made for you!...

    Unintended 'water treatment'... advice requested...

    The waist knit seems to have lost its 'springiness'... is that a word?... hard to describe without feeling it, maybe I'm being a bit finicky, but not the same as before the drenching.

    Unintended 'water treatment'... advice requested...

    I waited until it stopped dripping then put it on.... left it on for an hour or so.. I leave it on a large padded hanger during the day, then wear it round the house when I get back from work. It's got some nice creases and has moulded to my shape, but feels like I'm wearing a jacket made of...

    This is the jacket that needs the knits replaced, they didn't fare as well as the leather in the rain!

    Unintended 'water treatment'... advice requested...

    A little advice please... I put a reasonably new (year of intermittent wear, part of a collection of jackets that I rotate) Eastman A2 outside for an airing after wearing it to an Indian restaurant (to try and get rid of the smell of my chicken shashlick!).. however, I went out and forgot I'd...

    Anyone interested in/wearing original military watches?

    I've got an Elgin a-11... issued in 1943... looks a bit small next to my monkey hands, but I like it.

    ELC SHOW IN LONDON STARTING 17th of NOV. Who is going?

    even the sample isn't in my size... but a "wearable" ANJ-4 is my dream jacket... so be good to see it in the flesh..

    ELC SHOW IN LONDON STARTING 17th of NOV. Who is going?

    I'm going on the 19th.... want to see the sample of the Poughkeepsie Anj-4... might treat myself to something else if I don't think it's worth the wait!

    The smartest, most timeless sunglasses?

    AO's for me, but probably because they are the only sunglasses I have bought that really suit me.... some people could make any sunglasses look cool, unfortunately not me!... the AO's seem to compliment not only my face but my general 'style'....
