    The 80s, myth and reality?

    Very nice. Not really the 1980's as people tend to think of them. You both sound like the antidote to that tawdry time.

    Horween MILANO Horsehide in Havana Brown

    Haven't seen it so could be wrong, but it seems to be a version of Vicenza horsehide.

    Indiana Jones V

    That's it in a nutshell. For all it's exaggeration, Raiders has solid characterization, the plot is coherent, the tone serious and it's almost believable. In the sequels, the characters become cartoon-like, the humor is misjudged and the franchise is destroyed by hyperbole.

    Is that a fake Belstaff Trialmaster?

    As I said, google the label - many of them say this even when they are made in Italy.

    Is that a fake Belstaff Trialmaster?

    I don't know anything about Belstaff labels, L, but a quick google of this one looks just like others. They are or were made in Italy, why would that be suspicious? It's a zombie brand. Pretty sure someone bought Belstaff off the Italians later on. Maybe they now say,, "Made in Romania."

    Is that a fake Belstaff Trialmaster?

    Far as I know Belstaff was bought by an Italian company in the 1990's and is basically a fashion brand these days along with a quality drop.

    My New Addition to My Collection. Could Use Some Help

    From Gamma68 posted here somewhere a couple of years back. Lesco Ltd. was in business from the 1940s to the early 1980s. It was initially based at 10 E. 34th Street, NYC. The company began making alligator and crocodile handbags and billfolds for upscale shops like Saks 5th Ave., Bonwit...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    A couple of things on this. It really hasn't been time to see how any of this material holds up with wear. We will know more in a year or three. Most goatskin people know is chrome tanned and this stays new looking for ages. That said, the Five Stars goat (I have had 4 jackets) is different...

    Cooper Leather Field Jacket

    Also known as an M65 jacket in leather. Unfortunatley too big. https://www.ebay.com/itm/COOPER-US-Army-M-65-Black-Leather-Field-Jacket-Sz-XL/363255169920?hash=item5493b20380:g:~vUAAOSwDuVf~LeF

    Indiana Jones V

    That is exactly right and well put. I personally came to the view that Raiders worked despite Lucas and was a kind of mistake. Lucas (and co) accidentally made a masterpiece and could never come near it again. Lucas is like the most successful unsuccessful person in the biz.

    What was the road to your fit nirvana? :)

    Worn, faded, crumpled is my preference. I think the look of a new, clean, shiny leather jacket is ghastly. One reason I used to pop them in the washing machine right away.

    My New Addition to My Collection. Could Use Some Help

    Looks like a pretty cool 1970's jacket. Did Brooks do one of these.

    Thinking about having my Brooks CR shortened

    How long are the sleeves? That is a tall size and usually the sleeves of these are 28 inches long, so that's worth considering. I think cutting it back 3 to 4 inches might make it look off.

    It was a kind of short hand to describe people posting photos of heritage gear worn 'correctly'. No doubt is is not entirely accurate in all cases and maybe a lazy comparison.

    What was the road to your fit nirvana? :)

    Maybe. My money is on the idea that members came out of the ‘80’s and ‘90’s when clothing cuts were super wide and hideous.

    Frock Overcoat

    Thanks for clarifying.

    Frock Overcoat

    Which one - right or left?

    What was the road to your fit nirvana? :)

    Yes, I think it's interesting how tastes have changed here. It used to be mainly A2's. Utility jackets were often worn large. Jackets are now worn smaller and shorter. I'm sure in 10 years things will look different again. It's not as if we are actually going to arrive at a final destination.

    What was the road to your fit nirvana? :)

    No one likes that. :D But I do like it when I do up my buttons and there is an inch or so of room for a sweater and breathing.

    What was the road to your fit nirvana? :)

    Nice one - urbanhippieswe is more my style. I like clothes that are loose fitting. I think Mr P and Jake generally choose really good styles and fits for them. And my gut feeling is that Instagrammers put way more effort into a look than I do. Hell, I have 30 identical black shits and black...
