    U-boat leather jacket options

    Epic Militaria I wanted the black version as I had the grey one for WWII events (specifically) as well as everyday wear. Since I outgrew it years ago, I wanted to move on from having the same color, and black is more suited for my style anyway. This jacket is heavier than the grey one I...

    skipper caps

    I recently bought two types of German maritime caps. One is called the "Elbsegler" and the other is known as a "Prinz Heinrich". One was bought through a seller on Amazon, the other from a seller (in Germany) on Ebay. (I can post photos once they arrive.) I happened to be looking through...

    The Captain's (Jürgen Prochnow) Sweater in the film "Das Boot" search

    My sweater arrived yesterday. While I have yet to wash it, it is certainly softer than my other one.

    The Captain's (Jürgen Prochnow) Sweater in the film "Das Boot" search

    I recently bought this (today). So I will post more when it arrives. I liked how it had the red inside the collar similar to the one from the German store that I posted previously about. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00F8BX0XA?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image

    Leather U Boat Jackets

    I do like that coat. That would definitely help on bitter cold windy days as well as dreary-wet Autumn days. I have a 3/4 length long vintage leather coat (brown) that was given to me. It has a zipper for a lining, and I managed to take a faux fleece/fur type lining from one other coat (with...

    Leather U Boat Jackets

    I noticed that as well, looking at some photos and paintings. May have just some slight differences, but overall similar.

    Leather U Boat Jackets

    I happened to come across this thread while doing a Google search on WWI U-Boat leather jackets. It (this thread) has been an interesting read, despite containing information I already knew. I am trying to find out if there was a similar, or even same, pattern jacket (3/4 length) during WWI...

    The Captain's (Jürgen Prochnow) Sweater in the film "Das Boot" search

    I have been "off" doing my own research with regards to maritime clothing (in particular German), and this link may be of interest: North German Troyer https://germanspecialtyimport.com/search?type=product&q=troyer

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    There are a number of Aldi's stores here in my area - 3 that are close by. I was disappointed in the newest one though because it does not have a German cuisine section like another does. Really bummed me out.:(

    Why am I suddenly getting advertisements in forum?

    I have experienced this as well.

    Why am I suddenly getting advertisements in forum?

    I tend to prefer viewing the forum on my phone where I have an Ad Block Plus browser, which tends to speed up loading time compared to my laptop. I want to see if I can get the same for my laptop as well. The only thing I noticed as of late on my end, is, with regards to my phone, I keep...

    How Was Your Day?

    Reminds me of the time when I was offered to pick a scratch off lotto card. One of the options I was told was Lucky Lady (and I chose because I immediately thought of the WWII style nose art). Here, I get the ticket, and it was actually Lady Bugs (which have also been lucky for me - if they...

    How Was Your Day?

    Been slowly reflecting on how trusting my "intuitive senses" (or gut instinct), no matter what others may think of it or me, has really...supported me, in light of an experience I had yesterday. I was at the light/intersection, just a few steps away from my apartment to go to the store. The...

    What do you do for Living?

    I work on healing myself - on both the physical and non-physical levels. Not one's usual idea of a "career", but apparently for now, I live to heal and heal to live.

    What do you do for Living?

    I think that, perhaps if I ever were to somehow manage "a career" (setting aside the fact that I am working on healing myself), a psychotherapist is probably what I should be. I would probably lean more toward an intuitive type of psychotherapist as I have an interest in Jung (even though his...

    Books about WW2 from a German perspective

    I want to recommend this one. I rented it some years ago via interlibrary loan - German Advertising 1933-1945 One thing I immediately noticed were advertisements for firearms. I have often heard of Hitler banning guns, and thought, when I saw these ads..."Wait a minute." I brought it up to...

    Dating in 2019

    My friend and I used to discuss relationships and being involved with the hobby quite often. She and I would discuss about if it was best to have the partner share the interest, and what she told me is essentially what you stated. If the partner does not share the interest in the hobby (in...
