    Help me date this B3

    Hi guys, Thanks for the feedback so far. I really would not have considered going near it, if it wasn't for the sizing looking off. In theory - a 50 should swamp me. It came off looking like a 40 at best. Perhaps some weird bastardisation between EU and US sizing? For this part of the...

    Help me date this B3

    hey guys, Just spotted this B3, which I like the look of a lot. It is dotted in amongst lots of cheap imitations, and shares the same cost (1100 Danish kroner - around $150). The leather is dry and not in the best of conditions, plus there's an elbow tear that would need to be stitched, but the...

    Help me trace a vintage wool workwear jacket

    Oh my! That's the one! Thanks, Blackadder. I feel foolish now. Do you know much about these jackets?

    Help me trace a vintage wool workwear jacket

    Hi guys, I was at the NYC Inspiration event last weekend, with lots of heritage US and Japanese vendors. I noticed that many had an early/mid forties jacket that really caught my eye. Problem is that they didn't have my size, and I didn't catch the style name. It's a cropped (read:short) and...

    Buzz Rickson N-1 Deck jacket - sizing problems

    Thanks guys. I am now toying with a vintage original or Real McCoys instead, but will continue to consider the BR.

    Hi all, Anyone selling one, or know someone that could be keen? I am based in Copenhagen, and getting hold of a RMC anywhere near here is tricky. Best, Luke

    Buzz Rickson N-1 Deck jacket - sizing problems

    Hey Ian, Thanks for this. I am sill umming and ahhing over the Tenderloin jacket, though will probably let it go. It does seem too big. I am still toying with the idea of the Real McCoys N-1 over the BR. Ultimately, I want to be able to try either on before buying and sending the jacket 5000...

    Buzz Rickson N-1 Deck jacket - sizing problems

    Thanks for the brand info, Blackadder. Do you know anything about the fit and quality of Tenderloin stuff and, in this case any connection to the BR?

    Buzz Rickson N-1 Deck jacket - sizing problems

    Hi Ian. Thanks for this. Do you know anything about the Tenderloin/K SEVEN branding? The seller told me that he had the jacket refitted with the BR alpaca wool lining, which leads me to think that this eBay version, while having larger external measurements, probably is quite chunky on the...

    Buzz Rickson N-1 Deck jacket - sizing problems

    Fair point. I think it probably is a wee bit big for me though. Impossible to try one on as no one nearby stocks them, and Buzz Rickson stock in general seems to have dried up.

    Buzz Rickson N-1 Deck jacket - sizing problems

    Hi guys, Autumn is here in Copenhagen, so it's time for me to start thinking about buying that N-1 I have wanted for so long. I found an eBay seller with a Tenderloin/K Seven N-1 in Medium/38 up for grabs. I believe this brand is closely next to BR, or even the same jacket, just rebranded...

    FS or Trade (for an N-1): Buzz Rickson B-15 Colvinex Civilian edition, size 38, alpaca lining, rare!

    Hi guys, First time poster. I have a beautiful, extremely rare B-15 Colvinex Civilian edition from Buzz Rickson up for grabs in a size 38. While many B-15's shells are made of Nylon this version's is made of a Khaki Cotton Gros Grain (Jungle Cloth), much like the N-1s. The lining is...

    Woolwich Field Jacket/Mackinaws - original 40s/50s sizing help

    Hey guys, I'm in the process of negotiating an online purchase of one of the classic Woolwich field jackets in the standard red. The seller has provided some specific measurements of the coat, but the size tag is long gone. I wanted to know whether anyone had the specific, standard...

    FS: PENDLETON MILLS/DOC MARTEN'S ANKLE BOOT Sz. 10

    Hi. Is that a UK10 or US10? Also, do they have any indication of being "Made in England"?

    Yeah, I'm steering clear of this one. It was ony £40, but even then probably not worth it.

    Att: flying/bomber jacket experts - help me label and age this G1...

    Hey guys, Just seen a jacket on eBay with the label and pretty vague item descriptions. I've grabbed the photos from the listing below. Can anyone help me date and brand the jacket? The seller says it's horsehide, with it's real mouton, but it looks imitation to me. I think the whole coat is...

    Oooh - shiny! That D1 looks great.

    UK/Euro sellers of G-1 Flight Jackets and questions

    Thanks for all the feedback, guys. I think the best potential jackets for my needs would be either the expectedly Eastman's D-1 (any fans out there?) or the beautiful, if Air Comfort jacket Thor posted above (thanks Thor!) I guess the perfect middle ground would be a jacket based on G1 styling...

    UK/Euro sellers of G-1 Flight Jackets and questions

    Thanks for all the tips thus far. I'd love to visit the Galashiels, but I don't think I could stomach the price of both the flights there and back on top of the fantastic new jacket. I understand it's not the most winter friendly coat out there, but we actually have quite mild winters around...

    UK/Euro sellers of G-1 Flight Jackets and questions

    Hey Fanch, Haha! That's fair. I guess hands in pockets would be the last thing you'd want from a Naval aviator. Away from the side pockets then, does anyone know of any trustworthy web sellers based in Europe, preferably Scandinavia or Germany? By nature, I expect there to be pretty slim...
