What is this particular style of jacket called? I believe the one pictured is a Goodwear repro of a Monarch, and the style looks very 40s. Does this model have a proper name? I'm guessing many brands offered a version of it

Hey guys, does anyone know where I can these small closed ended talon zippers for cheap? Repros would be fine. I have a couple jackets with sleeve zippers that need replacing.

How warm is the thick lining on fw/rc jackets?

I’m looking for a hook closure jacket like the M-43 deck jacket.

You're question suggests that any random fw or rc jacket has one and the same lining. That's not the case.

You’re right, I only have a rc with red satin lining in the body and sleeves, and my other jackets are either cupro or unlined so I have no experience with thicker linings on leather, including cotton drill, flannel, wool blend and wool.

Most fw/rc I‘ve seen have a dark colored thicker lining but I’m unsure of it’s composition or if it’s the same for body and sleeves, but yeah I was assuming that, aside of satin, they were all the same composition and just varied in color.

So I’ll rephrase my question to, how warn is the lining of the fw deerskin bodie?

They can be fixed and or replace. Please share what is wrong with it. Did part of it broke off?

You can see in the picture part of the zipper you pull broke off. The track is still fine.

In the future consider posting something like this in Ask a Question or the Repair thread. Helps keep it all together as a resource.

Got it. Where can I find a list of all these threads?

Got it. Where can I find a list of all these threads?

The first step is to familiarize yourself with the board. Before you start a new thread, do a search to see if the topic has been covered in the past. Look at the last 4 or 5 pages to see if something on topic already has a thread devoted to it. Look at the topics covered in "Start Here, Links to Important Threads." Look at the topics covered in the Guides Section. Utilize this thread, "Ask a Question, Get an Answer." Most of the threads you start could better be asked and answered in this thread.

But the most important tip is to familiarize yourself with the Outerwear section to find the history of the section. Go back six months or a year and look at the topics discussed. When I joined back in 2006, I did just that. So, I had a good idea of what topics had been discussed and where to find them.

Because of that research, and being familiar with the past threads, I would guess that I haven't started more than ten threads in the almost 19 years I have been here.
