    Akubra Overload

    Unboxed my Federation Deluxe IV today. As you can see some bashing is required!

    New Acquisition - US Army Visor Cap

    Finally took delivery of the hat and the condition isn't quite as good as first thought but still not in bad shape. All leathers are supple and in good order, the cover does have a few moth holes but small and not too obvious. The lining looks like something sticky was poured in there at some...

    Life with ONE great Leather Jacket vs. Life with MANY Leather Jackets

    Finally got home to try on my new to me 1980s Schott Perfecto 618. Condition good for the age I thought and I was surprised at how light it was and how short, especially in a size 50. Like it though! I also had back the Eastman A2 I sent off to be relined, rezipped and recuffed. That was an...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Finally got up close and personal with the New to me Wesco boots I bought off ebay. First impressions are that they make a quality product and the leather feels great. This type of boot isn't what you would call common in the UK although lots of cruiser riding bikers wear similar. There is no...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    I am interested in this old Borsalino hat on the bay and was wondering if it is worth the asking price of $105 delivered? It looks a bit shabby which I am hoping might be rectified with some steam and a brush. Thanks.

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Some advice please gents. I am quite taken with the look of this rather shabby looking Borsalino and was wondering firstly is it worth a $105 dollars to my door? Secondly how might I lick it back into shape? Thank you.

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    Thank you for the kind comment Viclip. I now have a nice wooden watch box with display glass top to keep my watches in and sometimes it is just nice to look at them. They are overdue some wrist time I must admit.

    Pinky rings

    My understanding is that there is no sartorial rule and you can wear on either hand at your personal preference.

    Pinky rings

    Never wear more than one ring at a time myself, rarely one at all to be honest! I do have a signet ring as well as the pinky but don't think I have worn it out at all yet. I actually have a heavy gold identity bracelet I had for my 21st birthday that hasn't been worn since the 80s! Do men...

    Pinky rings

    I have one I wear sometimes. Gold with a Bloodstone in a shield shape I bought in a jewellers that used to deal a fair bit in old jewellery items alongside the new. It's an older piece but I haven't checked the hallmark to date it. I think a pinky ring is a nice understated item for a man to...

    D-Pocket leather jackets

    Helmets are a legal requirement, if they weren't they would be riding with just sunglasses. While on holiday in Thailand I rode on the back of moped taxis with no safety gear at all. Have to say I found it very liberating! At home it is usually kevlar trousers, boots and an armoured jacket...

    I need an intervention...leather sickness

    Despite owning a nice Waterman fountain pen and a nice Cross biro, I would be using a cheap freebie I picked up at a services resettlement fair several years ago!

    I need an intervention...leather sickness

    I bought an A5 sized Filofax in brown oiled leather because it smelt good. I have never wrote in it or used it but sometimes I pick it up, brush off the dust and have a sniff. I also update the diary insert, just in case I ever feel the need to write in it.

    USAAF Recruiting Film

    I read somewhere that after the war he was so disillusioned that he was considering quitting acting until he was given the script for It's A Wonderful life.

    USAAF Recruiting Film

    Found a site with this great USAAF recruiting film presented by one Lt James Stewart. Fabulous short film! Apologies if this has been posted before. http://www.b24pilot.com/famous/

    New Acquisition - US Army Visor Cap

    Thanks Kampkatz. I am thinking of getting the M1937 shirt and trousers as they seem more readily available and there is more versatility to do an infanteer impression as well. Not decided on footwear as yet as I could go for officer style private purchase shoes or boots.

    BLACK LEATHER JACKETS are looking for pants ....please help!

    And there was me thinking they were brought in to satisfy the needs of private security contractors! They are great trousers though and the shirts are very good too. I bought three, all different ranges. The heavy cotton, the taclite and the covert. I find the taclite and the covert to be...
