    A few pictures of me, US WW2 uniforms!

    an ancient thread but I wanted to say great job ! Ans yes from what Ive read some Ranger wore jump boots, but I don't have any documentation on that. Additionally of course as you know, WWII guys didn't index their trigger fingers. The canteen on top of the e tool is a nice touch. Bravo

    Hair cuts

    It's pretty obvious in the above pictures that the undercut is at the width of a set of clippers. As far as the hair hanging over the back that's going to happen if the guy doesn't get to a barber every month, or if even he does and that's the way he likes it. It's not like there was one...

    Hair cuts

    The heavy undercut with long top is completely authentic to the prewar period and through the war especially in Europe. In the USA the military cut has always had a much shorter top and faded sides, which took over as the standard men's haircut after the war. In European armies it was far more...

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    ordered a white and navy one from Nauticalia, love them both. The Navy is very dark and hard to tell its not black until you get in daylight. Very happy with the purchase.

    well I'm not learned on german leather jackets! I was just wondering.

    Review of the Eastman 'Luftwaffe' jacket, NEW

    You wouldn't be able to see it in pictures. It’s not pure white, just natural off-white. Pretty much every period piece of German clothing or equipment I own (or have seen) is done with natural thread, fliegerbluses, tunics, pants, boots, magazine pouches, leather belts and straps, etc. For...

    Review of the Eastman 'Luftwaffe' jacket, NEW

    Thanks a lot. Another question: Does anyone know if the original german jackets were made with natural colored thread? Almost all other German stuff of the era used natural thread and had that contrast stiching look. I would personally love the look on a brown jacket (plan to get an areo...

    Opinions on Stowa watches

    Review of the Eastman 'Luftwaffe' jacket, NEW

    I have a few questions concerning sizing. I wear a US 44R in almost everything but can fit into some 42R pretty well, more a shoulder width issue than a chest size issue. I will wear the jacket with turtlenecks more than anything most likely. So just wondering do you suggest a 42 or 44...

    From full beard to Imperial/Gunfighter moustache !

    Most of us should probably consider trying a style change more often than once every 16 years!

    Cardigans for casual gentlemen

    ordered, thanks. Never been my style before but for that price I can experiment and see if I like it and if they look good on me.

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Very bad pictures, someday I’ll have a dress up picture day and do them right. A Dior SB PL with flat front trousers (slim fitting, very Bond), Aboud shawl collar, ? DB PL, Brooks Bothers Tails, Aboud notched lapel, Ralph Lauren PL grosgrain in black velvet (my Casino Royale Le Chiffre...

    Is there something you really want to wear but are chicken?

    Funny I’ve noticed on this board German stuff is somehow inherently evil and anyone that owns any is immediately suspect. Then add massively offensive comments like “skinhead, southern, redneck types” that go completely unchecked and even unnoticed as offensive. Interesting attitudes towards...

    Custom Oil Paintings

    Look forward to the site being back up. I was looking at getting some very large paintings from one of these kind of places but am worried about spending $500+/- and what the qaulity will be, since you can't see up front what you are getting.

    Mobile Phones?

    I've been with people who not only talked on their phone at a dinner table in a restaurant while the rest of us sat there, but then wanted the waitress to wait for them to order! Then again my past roommate would get your attention to tell you a story and then in the middle of it, pull out...

    Are notch lapel dinner jackets "correct"?

    What is interesting if I remember that scene correctly is that it is three men having dinner in a private home discussing business.
