    Waxed Cotton Jacket Maintenance Question

    These guys are great. Small, family-owned company that does great work with exceptional customer service and a speedy turn-around. They can even get rid of the "old tent smell" that these jackets sometimes develop. Save yourself the hassle, and let them work their craft...

    Formal Wear Primer

    I couldn't find the original reference to this question and thus probably shouldn't reply, but fools rushing in, and given the thread topic, perhaps this link will be helpful? http://shop.edeandravenscroft.co.uk/collections/waistcoats?page=2 If it is, and if you are wearing a wing collar...

    Noble House BF 109 Jagdflieger (Messerschmitt) Review

    Incidentally, I've worn the jacket quite a bit, but nobody has ever asked me about the "improvements" (map pocket and oxygen hose loops) on it. If they would make you self-conscious, I am sure the makers could leave them off. Best, Trog

    Noble House BF 109 Jagdflieger (Messerschmitt) Review

    If you like that style, have a look at the Luftwaffe Arado on the Aero Leather website. I bought one a couple of years ago, and it is exceptional. You cannot buy them through the Aero website, but Aero will point you to the correct German retailer. I am not being deliberately cryptic here, I...

    Women in WWII waiting on their Soldiers

    Glass Houses I think it is easier when everybody is carrying part of the sacrifice. Only 3% of the current US population has ever worn a uniform. Only 33% of military-aged Americans even meet minimum standards to enlist--the rest are too fat or too stupid, or medically disqualified for...

    Formal Shirt

    Exactly! Finding a high enough collar, and a sized bow tie (to prevent the exposed tie ribbon from having visible buckles), has finally made it possible for me to wear wing collar shirts with black tie. I love the internet. Trog

    Formal Shirt

    The staff at Darcy Clothing is a joy to work with: http://www.darcyclothing.com/shop/ I use one of their collars with my Brooks Brothers shirt, as the collar that came with it is too low. Best, Trog

    Leather U Boat Jackets

    Jeff, that's disappointing! My only complaint was the slow delivery, which I also had from Goodwear and Aero when I bought their products. I had super customer service and I still love the jacket, it started great and has kept getting better over the three years I've worn it. Perhaps the Bad...

    Leather U Boat Jackets

    My favorite remains John Doyle's brilliant reproduction of the Ninth Doctor Who's jacket, which was a WWII U-Boat design: http://www.thebadwolf.com/ John is an amateur, and this is the only jacket he offers (brown or black). He can customize some items (heavier lining, anachronistic cell...

    Aero BOB jacket question

    It was a while back, but not THAT long! Pretty sure I received it in the summer of 2010. They did a prewar and added a hood, nothing all that far out of the ordinary. Best, Trog

    Large Early WWII Irvin Jacket by DGL

    The jacket sold for a ridiculous amount of money, possibly because of the large size (wartime Irvins are almost always small). Didn't quite make up for my loss when I sold my repro Coastal Command Irvin, but still... I stand 5'9" tall and weigh between 175 and 185 depending on season and...

    Interesting WW2 article

    The guilty ones committed unspeakably evil acts and should be hunted down, tried, and punished. That is justice. That is why murder has no statute pf limitations. It helps disturb the sleep of unrepentently evil men, and discourages others from following in their footsteps. A...

    Large Early WWII Irvin Jacket by DGL

    Gentlemen: It's cold outside! Stay warm in style in this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270845412880 I am willing to make separate arrangements (and end the auction early) with any lounger, regardless of home country, but only until somebody makes a bid. Best, Trog

    Coastal Command Irvin Repro by Aero (sz 44)

    Went for a disappointingly low $410 (better than 60% discount), but the buyer is a deck officer on a cruise ship that sails in cold waters, so it will get good use and he should get major "cool points." So, a fairly happy ending. WWII Irvin goes on eBay next month... Best, Trog

    Coastal Command Irvin Repro by Aero (sz 44)

    Just got a very tempting bite, but with a catch: Prospective buyer hates the yellow of the hood. What could he do to re-color it? Thanks, Trog

    Coastal Command Irvin Repro by Aero (sz 44)

    No bites, so I've listed at $400 with a $700 BIN price. New it was over $1000, so if you're looking for one, you are in luck. http://www.ebay.com/itm/270829694220?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 Same offer for FL folks as previously--I'll end the auction early for you, but...
