    Eat Dust Japanese Denim

    Our Japanese friends are very dedicated to very cool clothes. They make some brilliant (if frustratingly difficult to buy) stuff. Unfortunately, in pushing the boundaries, they also turn out a few disasters. Hence, this jacket.....

    Alexander Leathers light brown kudu Dakota, size 42

    Personal choice, obviously. But 501's have rarely been straight. Apart from perhaps a pair of 1955's, they are all pretty tapered. If you like 'em (and lots do) then fair enough - but they ain't straight. THESE are straight: I was lucky enough to have been around in the 60's when new...

    Alexander Leathers light brown kudu Dakota, size 42

    Very nice jacket, Schitz. Congrats "Probably" not wear crocs? That needs to be a "definitely never", mate. And yes, some jeans with non-skinny legs would help the look:D;)

    Attention UK members please

    It is interesting that this thread started by asking for advice from UK FLers, and yet the replies are now being questioned. If your nephew is the cool dresser that you believe him to be, then he shouldn't need anyone's advice on what to wear. So why ask on here? Re the trip, I think you might...

    Alexander Leathers Simmons and Aero Aeromarine Discussion

    No, esteemed doctor. I was talking about the folks who use proper leather. Not limp "LVC vintage":D;)

    Alexander Leathers Simmons and Aero Aeromarine Discussion

    An intrinsic aspect of the "shawl collar jacket" - or whatever else you wanna call it - is the curved edge to the hem panel. It starts high, at the side, goes down, and then curves up to meet the two button closing. Only two guys seem to have got this right, as far as I can see - Himel & Aero...

    Vintage denim hunting in Spitalfields market

    Personally, I hate London, these days. We used to go down regularly in the 70's, but those days are gone. "Overpriced shmutta for the tourists"??? Gimme the internet any day:D;)

    LVC Menlo Jacket available again in UK

    I think the "This item is currently sold out" statement is quite crucial to your chances of getting one. For me, all the LVC stuff is made of horrible, limp, "pre-distressed" hide. I much prefer the likes of Aero. I would have said that in the opening post, but get slightly tired of being...

    The Aero Shackleton and PBS' Mr. Selfridge... Leather Waistcoat

    Yes, that certainly used to be the case. But since the BBC kicked out their Head Of Drama - who was promptly employed by ITV, things have changed:D;)

    Cuffed Jeans

    Hi Simon From the pics, they don't look as wide in the leg as Levi 55's. What is width at the bottom hem?

    Photo Gallery?

    BTW - For anyone wanting to start their own album, the FAQ on how to do this is wrong. There is NOT a link in your User Control Panel, so don't go looking for it. Here's how you do it..... 1. In the top line links, click on "Community" and then, on the drop-down, on "Albums" 2. The...

    Can't seem to make up my mind... opinions needed.

    Hi Worf. It was lighter when I got it - very much like Aero's pic, in fact. I decided to play around with the shade - now much darker:D;)

    Who makes the best, strongest duck cotton work jackets?

    A lot of the recent swathe of Duck jackets have been aimed at the denim collectors' market, rather than the regular workwear segment. Given that some of the very first jackets made by Levi Strauss, back in the 1800's, were Duck rather than Denim, then this is suddenly the "must have" jean...

    Opinions requested...NOT FOR SALE

    Yup. We've discussed this in depth elsewhere on here. Zips began to be used on jackets at the very end of the 20's, and became much more common in the 30's. The first zips were relatively short in length - so the first thing would have been zip closure on a top (cigarette) pocket on an...
