    Real McCoy's are closing down..?

    RM Japan, or RMJ is a completely separate company, as a matter of fact, they keep on expanding in recent years. That is some impressive insight into the recent fall of the Japanese industrial empire! I think there is also another reason on top of what you mentioned. One of the fatal import...

    Wow, that is very useful! I shall keep them in mind when I decide to get the 106/p.

    Nomex Flyer jacket

    Hey Dr Damage, how is the size of the 106/p so special?

    50 years apart, spot the differences?

    What size flight jacket do you wear?

    I am 5'11", 163lb, weighted in the gym not long ago. Most of my jackets and flight jackets are a comfortable 40, I also have a 38 BK A-2 which gives me a good slim "Japanese fit", except that I cannot wear anything other than a polo shirt underneath.

    An interesting story about Hollister clothing's origins

    I remember I thought that when Hollister opened up their shop in Regent St. London, I thought it is some kind of high class beauty/massage/spa saloon..... Superdry, on the other hand, was only made famous because of Prince Harry. My Japanese colleagues always laugh at people whenever they see...

    An interesting story about Hollister clothing's origins

    FYI, here are some interesting information of some 'fashion' companies. Abstracted and credited from http://www.refinery29.com/ J.Crew could almost be the name of the preppiest dude on the rowing team — but, alas, it's completely made up. The brand began in 1947 as Popular Merchandise, Inc...

    Looking for a new Cafe Racer, what am I missing?

    Absolutely agree. Thicker, heavy weight leathers also don't guarantee more durability of the jackets. I believe some of us here are a bit addicted to (and obsessed with) several terms, Horse is one, heavy weight hide is second.

    Leather jackets on TV shows - Goat or Lamb?

    I guess you will have to be someone like him to wear a Vanson, zipped, on TV.

    Would you wear it?

    I am not trying to be political here, but I would not be reading too much into articles written by PRC news agencies. Currently they are trying very hard to down play the original Chiang Kai-Shek's KuoMinTang's involvement and effort in resisting the Japan invasion. The Red Army at that time did...

    Would you wear it?

    Well, I am pretty certain you do not want to pin this onto your back while you are travelling in China.

    Would you wear it?

    I wouldn't. But on the other hand, it is also quite fascinating that it has always been the Japanese who manufacturer and sell the repro uniforms of those who had bombed them.

    Check out ELC's new-look website!

    We have to hope that nobody open up the flood gate of our repro jackets there. The Japanese are already paying silly amount of money for a lot of stuffs already. I recently bought an Inverallan wool cardigan from a UK vendor and found out that the Japanese are paying two times the price over...

    Check out ELC's new-look website!

    Absolutely agree on this. If they are going to spend a grand on some jackets, they will probably go for Burberry, Belstaff, Prada or Gucci. I think until Eastman start stamping huge ELC logos on the chest of all their jackets, very few mainland Chinese would rush to buy their jackets.

    High quality scarves -cashmere/cashmere-blend

    I have a Johnstons of Scotland 100% cashmere scarf for years, it is still one of the best scarf that I have ever owned. And it won't cost you an arm as well.

    3 questions about my A2 from the real mccoy's

    Have you tried to lube the zipper with a bit of candle wax? I don't think you really need to change the zipper. Your jacket should be made in Japan.

    Logan's Closet, Avoid at ALL Cost

    I can understand the your pain. The contact on his webpage is basically useless (since day 1). Like many had said, the best way to contact Dan is via the Filmjacket forum. Or, alternatively, the guy's Facebook page. My experience with him was actually pretty good while I got my House Jacket...

    Buco J-100 in Black Shinki by Diamond Dave

    It really depends on what vintage samples they copy the style from. Here is one of the vintage Buco J-100s in the Lighting Magazine.
