    Simon James Cathcart/Cathcart London Problems

    I’ve been using SJC for years and have not had any problems thus far in any respect..sizing, quality or shipping dates. Received an email today previewing cord trews which are very tempting.

    Help me date this MA-1 jacket please!

    90’s or the early in the next decade given it’s made in the USA would be my best guess…

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    My one 5* success was where I sent them the jacket to clone & it came back correct to the cm.

    USAF N-3B parkas - Let's talk about them!!

    I too am on the L / XL cusp, general torso fit and arm length on a Large is better but my swimmers shoulders prefer the XL. Approaching Spring over here now so the perfect time for discounted N-3Bs. Missed out on a NOS Propper version last year…eyes peeled time

    USAF N-3B parkas - Let's talk about them!!

    I need an XL to be comfortable in the N-3B, TBH as far as rain goes, I have a waxed Barbour Border to deal with that :)

    USAF N-3B parkas - Let's talk about them!!

    Thanks for taking the time to do the above review which is very thorough and useful. I’m two years in, trying to find an N-3B for the brief UK winters. Early ones were too warm and an Alpha 90’s Civvy version I’ve just picked up is so thin as to be a waste of time and looks like a ‘Cosplay’...

    Leather jacket for winter

    I love my history and Bath is full of it..especially Regency period. My old hang outs were under Pultney Bridge and the Salamander Bar..

    Leather jacket for winter

    Nearly moved there in times past but didn’t think I’d cope with all the tourists. Spent many of my Weekends in Bath in my 20’s the Punk / Goth scene was the magnet. I live in Calne about 17 miles away these days, a fairly vibrant market town. It’s still very much a working town which I like...

    Leather jacket for winter

    Absolutely, live not far away and took the Wife for a short shopping break..everywhere was closed pretty much due to the beast. D-1 held up lovely, chopped in an ELC Irvin type for it as just too warm for my tastes most of Autumn / Winter In UK.

    Time for a grizzly?

    I’d try and rock a grizzly, often too warm here in the UK though and the dog would probably attack it :)

    Elephant Skin questions

    Shipping to UK generally looks like within a week of order being placed it’s at your door via UPS. Higher value items can attract import tax, waxed vest did in my case…. If you weren’t aware, heres a UK based company that make quality heritage wear...

    Elephant Skin questions

    From the horses mouth ‘about us’ on their website: “Pike Brothers specialize in producing authentic men's ware of the 20th century. Authentic to us means in the same way and with the same high-quality approach as a decade ago”. I‘ve been buying their stuff for years they cover anything from...

    Quick Barbout Int Authenticity check? 18% poly lining??

    Great company, Purchased the Barbour Border Xmas from an outdoors / camping shop well below RRP. Must have been very old stock or faulty because it let water in. Rang Barbour customer services and they sent me out a new one..outstanding

    How likely is it to find vintage clothing in larger sizes

    Pike Brothers make some quality clothing with a big focus on workwear but diversify into military clothing & flightwear (not the most accurate jackets), Naval pullovers, Watch caps etc. For me things don’t have to be 100% accurate to a vintage pattern for workwear. Thing I love about Pike is...

    How likely is it to find vintage clothing in larger sizes

    I‘ve collected some decent nylon flight jackets most of which I imported..N-2A etc. Found one decent shop in Bristol that quickly relocated to France..they had some good stuff..hugely expensive and mostly small sizes. Mostly scattered ‘vintage’ shops are selling gear from a mashed up bale. Aside...
