    "Thirty Things that Need to Stage a Comeback"

    Gas stations with real service. You know the sort of "Check the oil, check the water-types"....Where you just lean out the window and say: "Fill it up please!" Instead of those halfgrown supermarkets we have now, where the girl behind the counter doesn't know anything about windshield wipers...

    ALL ORIGINAL Irvin RAF type Jackets - Loving that Wolf in sheeps' clothing!

    Congratulations! Aren't you happy the pocket was not glued to the outside of the jacket? Was it a e-bay catch? Looking forward to see lots of pics.

    The GREAT BRITISH DUFFEL COAT thread

    I suppose you are talking about the "traditional" type and not "the herringbone" one. The herringbone is pretty far away from the WWII type - where as the "traditional" has some pretty close details - but I do not like the inside of it!!! :(

    Flying boots

    The Lewis boots look pretty much like my Aero boots - and even with a more true to original "vamp". Allthough they still haven't got the hidden stitces right, as we all believe a true original 1936 Pattern boot should have. Still - if Lewis Leather made flying boots for officers of the RAF...

    The GREAT BRITISH DUFFEL COAT thread

    http://www.gloverall.com/storeItem/?productId=1 I think this is the closest you get, if we are talking new/modern. I am the happy owner of a WWII reproduction limited edition (with number inside) Gloverall made several years ago. And this new one comes pretty close - except 4 contra 3...

    What is style?

    1. Style is not fashion. 2. Style is more a state of mind than a statement. 3. Style is not trying too hard.

    ALL ORIGINAL Irvin RAF type Jackets - Loving that Wolf in sheeps' clothing!

    Super jacket, Kowalski and in a very great shape. No doubt it's a bombercrew jacket, 'cause of the electric heating system. Congratulations! :)

    BATTLE OF BRITAIN (1940) - Respecting THE FEW.

    I was there! The most fantastic sight I've ever seen at any airshow! I had tears in my eyes.

    Most Accurate WWII Battle Video Game?

    I have always wondered why there isn't a strategic Battle of Britain game. The whole Operation Room concept is just screaming for being transfered into a videogame. And if they just added the possibility for the player to jump into a Spitfire or Hurricane once in a while too, I wouldn't need...

    Do you look like a past relative and get negative comments for it from family?

    Deffinately possitive! He was a stout, selfmade man - ropemaker with more than 25 employees - with a soft heart and a great sence of humor!. I was his firstborn grandchild - and he spoiled me!!!! Sadly he died when I was only 7 years old - but I still have some very fond memories of both him...

    Gents: Do you feel comfortable with a woman who is taller than you?

    With my 6'4 it has never happened. And if it did, I couldn't care less.

    Do you look like a past relative and get negative comments for it from family?

    Judge for yourself. At the left my grandfather age 40 - at the right myself, same age.

    The story of a pilot

    In an epilogue in his book “Gun Button to Fire” Tom Neil writes about several of his fellow pilots and what happened to them after the war. It is obvious that Tom Neil and Lewis were truly great friends. But it is also evident that Tom Neil lost contact with Lewis. (He doesn’t even know that...

    RAF Irvin style Full length leather coats

    There is a bell ringing...allthough this has got nothing to do with the famous Irvin jacket...and a coat like that was never used or even made during WWII...I have seen something like the coat you describe. And - presto - here it is (maybe): http://www.flyingjacket.com/cirrussheepskinf.html...
