    Seal leather samples for ANJ-4 poll

    I'm for the Vinnie, too. I love that hide. It is SO much like the hide on my original C-2 USAAF vest. Dark and pebbly-grained.

    L. L. Bean A-2 history time line?

    My go-to jacket is an LLB, single piece back, no date tag, but it has Schovill zip. I traded my 44L for my friend's 46L and we were both happier for it. He said he got his for $10 at Goodwill on San Juan Is., WA. I paid retail for the 44L - about $200, as I recall, in the mid-'90's. It's tough...

    Favorite shaving soaps

    Although I live in the States, my family lived in London for a year back in the '60's and I developed an affinity for Imperial Leather bath soap. Now I buy a case at a time from ebay to satisfy my little decadent urge. When the bath bar gets small I chuck it into the Old Spice shaving mug. Has...

    ALL REPRO R.A.F. Irvin type jackets

    I'm trying to date an ELC BoB pattern Irvin that I bought last year. The previous owner said it was "at least" ten years old, which would date it to 2004 or earlier. The only really distinctive feature are the original-style zipper pulls: simple horsehide (I assume) leather strips rather than...

    Seattle

    Thanks for the welcome. Ok, I DID go to Insurrection/Thurston Bros. and met Carrie. She looked at me a little funny when I said I was mainly there to satisfy my leather fetish. I didn't mean it the way it sounded, I just really like leather and, boy, do they have some beautiful jackets. I was...

    Seattle

    I'm in Bellingham and new to the forum. I'll be heading down to Seattle tomorrow for the afternoon, but I'm not expecting to be able to visit the shop as I didn't make an appointment. I'll at least check out Mac Pherson Leather and maybe the Museum of Flight. Is the Blue Moon Tavern still...
