How to take good care of a flying helmet
Someone said they are NOT a natural material... :rolleyes: I wonder if that "Silicon" spray, used for car bumper parts, rubber mats, etc would rejuvenate, or destroy vintage rubber? Or maybe "Armor All"? or a similar automotive product/conditioner? I have used "Neutrogena", Norwegian hand... -

Rucksack: vintage or 'new' WPG Bergans?
Hi, Pip. Not sure about the Swiss set-up. I've seen these Tauern Sacks being touted as '30s, all over ebay.de It didn't really dawn on me that it COULD be from the '30s until I realised what the "DRP" was. Yes, it's in great nick. Maybe the DRP could be a red herring as to era but I see folks...- BellyTank

Rucksack: vintage or 'new' WPG Bergans?
Ooh... oohh... Speaking of vintage Rucksacks- I know I'm a Rucksack Anorak but anyway... My "latest" (maybe one of my earliest...) rucksack is here- I collected it today. It's a "Tauern Sack" DRP(Deutsches Reichspatent), which could point to it being of '30s manufacture (I like '30s...- BellyTank

old-fashioned hiking boots
Er... yes, I guess so. But beyond that, the Swiss boots may not lend the "unique", or stand-out appeal to a facet of your impression(boots), given the nature of the impression, which could be regarded as "key". I'm supposing, taking into consideration what you have mentioned about the...- BellyTank

The Humble Anorak.....
The price is nice- But so are the prices for various lovely items of traditional (and not) clothing from the seemingly most mundane of UK clothing suppliers. Don't you think, Mr. CreepingP? Remember the old days of looking? Great old seaside towns in Norfolk- not Old Town, obviously- Some...- BellyTank

The Humble Anorak.....
Speaking of Smocks of the canvas, maritime and fishy varieties- there are many examples on the market, for small money- although they are not exactly what we're looking for. Some of them may be good as an over-garment for rough country, in dry weather. Tough and abrasion resistant. Does...- BellyTank

Bruce got the juice - Bruce Willis' Jacket
Well- several people here, who WOULD and do recognise an original vintage leather jacket, have offered their opinions. Do you believe the "jacket manufacturer" over them? Has "he" actually said, or stated that he made the Willis jacket? Or is it just "marketing"- allowing you to believe that...- BellyTank
