    Thank you Orgetorix! Now I have a visual image of what I need to ask the cobbler for. :) Well, boots are packed and it's time to head out on my mission. Fingers crossed. Flieger

    A-2 jacket patch identification

    I've been trying to find out what the patches on these two gentlemens jackets symbolize but I drew a blank. Hope I'm not too wrong thinking some of the experts here might be able to help? :) I think this photo (showing Colonel Tinker and Captain Walker next to Tinker's B-10) was taken at...

    Thanks Orgetorix, I'm franticly looking trough my dictionary but it refuses to give me the translation to "oversole", "Topy" and "toplift"... Could you please explain a bit further? Cheers F

    1943 Swedish Army boot

    Mike K: I bought them here, they still have them in sizes 42, 43 and 44. Never been used. Adding hobnails... Hmm, I'd better go and read that adventurers gear thread. Cheers Flieger

    1943 Swedish Army boot

    Hope this is the right place for this post? Othervise, feel free to remove/move it to the correct location. :) I bought these boots a couple of years ago but I have never used them because they have heel-irons and leather soles. The heel-iron makes a lot of noice and is very slippery when I...

    Brown Doctor Who / Das Boot look-alike

    Hello Sunflo, Well, first of all you need to know I'm in Sweden hunting the Swedish auction sites. If that is the same with you I suggest you look for "Tradera" and/or "Blocket". The first being an auction site similar to e*COUGH*bay and the latter more of a buy/sell variety. Usually I...

    Possible to identify this A-2?

    Thank you for the reply, Alan! Using your guide I'll be able to spot the differences (old/new) I'm sure. I'll post detailed photos of the zipper details when I get the jacket in my hands. I'm not going to get obsessed with zippers but I'm always interested in knowing more about items I buy...

    Possible to identify this A-2?

    Kampkatz: I'm well aware that this jacket is not a "true" A-2. However, calling it "faux" would imply that it was made as a forgery, trying to lure someone into buying a "true" A-2. I don't belive this is the case with this jacket. I have bought it because I like a leather jacket that looks...

    Ribbon stain

    I'm glad to hear that the stain is almost gone now. Othervise I'd reccomend trying vinegar (diluted). It's an old household remedy to remove sweat stains. [huh] Flieger

    Possible to identify this A-2?

    Yeah, I kind of figured that part out myself... question is: In what way differ a modern zip track from a vintage one? Is there a online guide I could use to save us all from my questions? :D Flieger

    Possible to identify this A-2?

    "Zip tracks" and whatnots. I could REALLY use a "A-2 jacket termology for dummies" :) :offtopic: Oh, and one for fedoras as well. :o Flieger

    Thanks Flitcraft! Well, this is about as vintage as I'm prepared to go. I like mixing up contempary clothing with a couple of vintage items. Flieger

    Thanks BT! Yes, I have seen your jackets and I must say I love the Swedish Goat! You don't happen to have a photo with you wearing it? Flieger

    Possible to identify this A-2?

    Thanks for all the comments! Even though it's not a "genuine" A-2, I have bought it and it should arrive at my doorstep late next week. :) Cheers! Flieger

    Brown Doctor Who / Das Boot look-alike

    Thanks, Technonut! Well, the jacket was in great shape and only needed a little TLC to shine like (almost) new. I really like the SkinnFix product as substitute when you, like me, can't get hold of Pecards. Flieger
