    Combat Boots?

    Hi Deacon, I think they are talking about classic old style leather combat boots. Although, I must say, Danner and Belleville are the best from the States, made in the USA, Goretex, comfy lined. MASH Japan used to produce this...

    Some perspective on leather jacket pricing?

    It is happening everywhere. Every small town / high street here in the UK is having the same clone of shops. We have 3 Westfields here already, and I am sure there will be more of them coming. Same as in my home town Hong Kong.

    Some perspective on leather jacket pricing?

    Yes, actually, there is one rather hidden but big A&F at the end of the road there. In the beginning, there was usually a small queue to get in.

    Some perspective on leather jacket pricing?

    Edward, yes, it's really a pity. Honestly, I just do not understand why A&F can be so big in London right now (and in Asia). They were a complete failure in North America!

    Some perspective on leather jacket pricing?

    Seb, I did not mean young people spending money on good clothings, I just meant that majority of people in London are more fashion concious, and most of them are younger people. But then, saying that, younger generations do spend more money on clothings these days, especially if they have...

    Some perspective on leather jacket pricing?

    I agree. As for fashionable or fashion concious people, Central London is probably one of the most densely populated city. You certainly cannot find so many 'dressed up' people around in Tokyo, Hong Kong, NY, Seoul or Sydney. The explanation? There is a concentration of young people there...

    MA-1 Flight jacket

    I guess some of the best 50s' 60s' MA-1 are from Real McCoy's, not Buzz. The question is to get the price and accuracy balance.

    Some perspective on leather jacket pricing?

    Very interesting thread indeed. I find that most people have the incorrect perception of 'quality' associated to certain mall brands (or even designer brands). Most of them are using some designer brands as their quality benchmarks, and we ended up with endless debates of which are better. I...

    A lucky found, Eastman slender A2 in size 36

    Good find, it is very difficult to find smaller sizes here in Europe (or in the US).

    People going crazy for Leather Jackets

    Well, yes, you cannot outbid yourself. But there was a glitch on Ebay a few years ago which I did outbid myself by increasing my max bid (and eventually nobody out bided me), it was only 1 or 2 pounds though. Over the years, I have had only a few unhappy incidents early on, that was the time...

    My G-1 Lineup (Others Invited)

    I recently bought a no label G-1 jacket for cheap (Vietnam era, according to the seller). Mine is certainly leather, but I suspect it is cow instead of goat. Do you have a picture of your jacket? I am curious.

    NOS Knits Fitted to 1973 Alpha L2B

    ok, I am now answering my own question. I got in touch with Cobra in Swindon, they do receive orders by mail, but they are not exactly very cheap though. I am not sure how much bn1966 paid, but in order to change all the knits on a L-2B, they can charge up to a hundred quids. Hey Big J, you...

    NOS Knits Fitted to 1973 Alpha L2B

    Hi bn1966, do you think if I can mail them the jacket and knit for replacement? I don't fancy driving three hours 1 way to Swindon just to get my jackets fixed!

    Custom leather patches

    Yes, Sean's patches are top notch. I have a couple of his creations. The only place where you can get 'better' layered leather patches is probably Custom King in Japan. But I doubt that they sell overseas.

    People going crazy for Leather Jackets

    Absolutely agree, this one is "fishy". That probably explains why there are so many over-priced listings just trying to lure inexperienced buyers/collectors. Over the years, I have got a few bargains, some from sellers who had absolutely no ideas about the values of the jackets, some from...

    People going crazy for Leather Jackets

    True, I guess we all have done stupid bids before, but not for that amount of money. But a seasoned buyer should just bid for whatever you think is worth. Psychologically, all bidders want to win, that may also explain why when an item stays untouched for quite a long while, and one somebody...

    People going crazy for Leather Jackets

    Some bidders are addicted I guess. They just want to win, and most will most likely regretting it right at the instant when they check out. I have seen numerous occasions where used repro jackets selling beyond their original prices. GBP 870.22 for a well used Eastman! Such an expensive lesson!

    Prisoner Pants

    No offence 4444Design, since you are from Germany, but this reminds me of this piece of news.... Not nice. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2735561/Zara-fire-launching-children-s-t-shirts-look-like-striped-Holocaust-era-concentration-camp-uniforms-complete-Star-David.html

    Nomex Flyer jacket

    Things are really getting more expensive, but I suspect the price will come down quite significantly when this CWU-106 jacket becomes widely issued. I suspect the Propper is the only maker at this time.

    Air Force shoulder decal on nylon jacket

    MASH is the safe bet, but US country store is also fine, they also make some best L-2A/B repros around.
