    'Godless' Whiteys Leather Jacket

    If any of you folks have watched Godless on Neflix, you may have noticed the leather jacket Whitey wears. I wanted to ask someone with more historical knowledge than myself. What style is this considered? Would it have been historically accurate? How much would a leather jacket have cost a...

    Rayon Linings and zippers

    When did rayon linings become common? Foe example the salmon color like in a Gordon and Furgison M422a. What would the earliest date be that you would have seen them, are we talking 1940s, or even 1930s or 20s? Also for zippers on leather jackets, when did they start becoming popular 1930s?

    Late War flight Trousers with B-3s?

    Were there instances during the war of flight crews wearing something like A-9 or A-11 flight trousers with B-3s? I was thinking about finding a pair of late war pants to wear with my ELC B3. The winters here in PA are brutal this year and wouldnt mind something for my bottom half. I would go...

    List of Reproduction Vintage Clothing

    Wow I can't believe I never heard of Darcy Clothing before! Their stuff looks movie quality, how cool. I wonder if thats where the costumes for Peaky Blinders came from? I could dress like that every day. They are actually affordable too. So much repro clothing seems to be priced super expensive.

    What did 1920s sheepskin jackets look like?

    Very interesting. I'd like to learn more about the private contract flight gear. Is there a good book I can look up to find more photos and information?

    What did 1920s sheepskin jackets look like?

    I know we see examples of pre war sheepskin jackets like Irvin and early B3s, but what pattern styles existed in the 1910s and 1920s? Is there the quintessential jacket from which all sheepskin flight jackets stem?

    Steve McColgan A2 Review Photos

    The range of motion seems really good to me. I can't say I ever remember it bothering me in the way that you describe. All in all its a surprisingly comfortable jacket, it really impressed me the day I got it. My only gripe, which is mild, is that the chest seems wider than I expected, by about...

    Steve McColgan A2 Review Photos

    The Steer hide was very comfortable right out of the box. It feels substantial but very pliable so even brand new it didnt feel restrictive at all. The hide is probably about a millimeter than ELC Horsehide but unless you had them side by side, it would be really difficult to tell. When the...

    Sm wholesale A-2: anybody own one?

    Im really pleased with my SM A-2. When the weather is right for it, its my go to jacket for everything. It develops a nice patina after about 2 years. The hide is ever so slightly heavier than say Eastman A-2, but is still nice and pliable. I will say though the chest and waist do seem slightly...

    He really likes that Johnson M200, I think a nice used one would fit the bill just dandy.

    Decent First Leather Jacket for a Friend

    Ive got a really good buddy of mine who wants to get his first leather jacket. He is a Tall athletic fella, tree trimmer for a living, and wants a black leather jacket. Im trying to find affordable options for him so he doesn't have a ton of money tied up in it in case it turns out to not be his...

    On the fence- vintage Tauber’s Horsehide Pull-over…yes or no?

    That looks absolutely Bad Ass! Fits perfect. I would definitely get it if they dropped the price to like $320-350. Id be wearing that for concerts and all sorts of shows, but I dress pretty loudly anyway.

    Expensive Repros: From "Gem" to "Jacket"

    You know, thinking back to my Gem phase with my B-6...I would day dream about what cool patina it would get over the years...all while I was too afraid to wear it doing the things that cause patina...seems kind of silly now. I think of the aging on my guitar. I am a musician for a living so I...
