    Life with ONE great Leather Jacket vs. Life with MANY Leather Jackets

    After reading 5 pages of discussion.......... I think the question should be: how many jackets is "the optimum"? I do see some 'single jacket men' around, namely, one of my school teachers, who wore the same leather jacket and the same leather belt over my years in the school. But that was the...

    Whats the deal with VAT and jackets into the US from abroad

    Well, there is no coincidence, we all know that Chinese tourists are the lead spending power in the world right now, just surpassing the Americans in 2014. Another piece of information for us Brits, even if you are an EU passport holder, and if so happen that you reside outside of the EU, and...

    Whats the deal with VAT and jackets into the US from abroad

    It is really down to the companies themselves. Almost all prices listed on the UK websites include the current 20% VAT unless it is stated, which is slightly different from the usual practice in the US. Few popular UK companies DO NOT deduct the VAT when they ship overseas while offering...

    UK/Euro sellers of G-1 Flight Jackets and questions

    That is true, if I get issued gears without paying from my own pocket, who cares? As long as it is practical and comfortable.

    Leather jacket squeaking.

    SOUNDS like a unique issue with BK jackets. My almost 2yr old BK Dubow still screams a little bit, my friends always make fun of me saying that I am a walking leather sofa.......

    MASH Japan MA-1 repro

    Directly from Taiwan in fact. I have tried asking them once about their jackets, but I gave up since they are as expensive as the Japanese counterparts. Here is a link to their L-2 collection. http://mimurayoko.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/mimura-yoko-l-2l-2al-2b-collection.html Disclaimer: I have...

    MASH Japan MA-1 repro

    Well, they do very interesting patterns, mostly imaginary style and contracts, but also a few pretty period authentic looking ones. Not cheap though.

    MASH Japan MA-1 repro

    MASH do batch runs, but their main business is not really selling their own jackets anyway. The other place which makes nice L-2/ L-2A/Bs is the Taiwanese shop call US Country Store, they also offer loads of different camo uniform repros as well, worth checking.

    Workware USN N-1 Deck Jacket

    Is this the Hong Kong vintage shop-turned-manufacturer lately? I have heard mixed comments about them. I will be visiting the city in Dec, can always check it out in person.

    Biker jacket

    Absolutely agree. In fact, if you look at women's fashion, Perfecto style jackets have been around for so many years for ladies, and do they ride? Who cares! I have a licence but my beloved ones just do not allow me to ride. But in the UK, motorcyclists do not wear these jackets, because like...

    Do you like contrasting knits?

    Not my cup of tea on an A-2. I think contrasting knits on jackets like the A-1 with the neck ribbon knit would be nicer.

    Ebay lost the plot! Don't use the word 'style'.....

    As a seller, I am completely disappointed with ebay, too many restrictions, too high of all the charges. As a buyer, I am also frustrated with all those 'junk hits' that overwhelm all the positive hits. I suspect when TaoBao or Alibaba get international in the future, it can overtake ebay by...

    ELMC's new line …

    Well, sure that is 'in general', but that is sure not cirtising the Japanese culture. There are so many things that no many other countries can achieve what the Japanese do as a nation. And as an outsider/foreign, I think Japan should carry on with their traditional working ethics, which seems...

    ELMC's new line …

    That is very likely to be the repercussion of the American presence in Japan right after the War. They tried so hard to get rid of the foreigners which results in the system that you have just described. But in general, they still admire foreign imports, wine (grape wine in Japan), for example...

    Diamond Clothing Co.

    Ha well, thinking of sending it back to my origin! Actually, this is what I want, the Vanson and Lewis that I own are just too heavy-duty for some occasions.

    Anyone know the delivery time from Dave at the moment? Really tempted to order the J100 for X'mas.

    ELMC's new line …

    I agree. They are actually facing huge competitions on both fronts of motorcycle jackets and flight jackets. I am not even sure even if the Japanese would like to buy moto-jackets from them unless they already learn about the brand from their military jackets. Unless they are doing either...
