    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    While I know that when things are presented in court there always tends to be exaggeration, done for effect but the more one reads, the more one feels 'My God, this guy Lauder was a complete scumbag'. I also know that there are always two sides on any story and maybe there had been something...

    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    It seems to me that WL was in over his head at first and then at some point was either contacted by or contacted Sandy Alexander about buying Aero. At which point a plan to devalue the company was thought up. Thereby making the Caulders more willing to sell and at a drastically reduced cost. Not...

    Eastman A2 versus Gibson Barnes A2

    It's ok, I'm not really in the market for anything Eastman makes anymore. I have an Irvin repro by them and a Good Wear of all the other military jacket styles I need.

    Eastman A2 versus Gibson Barnes A2

    I don't think that Eastman calculator thing works worth a damn. Never had it actually give me a jacket size. I've messed with it for curiosity with a bunch of different sets of measurements and jacket types and it always says the 'unable to find a correct size' or whatever.

    Eastman A2 versus Gibson Barnes A2

    My Grandad would of said 'Buy the best you can afford'. So if that's a G&B then have it. Accurate, no. Quality, it seems so. If it's an Eastman then you'll be stepping up the ladder a few rungs, especially in accuracy. If it's a GW (although how they got dragged in this, I'm not sure) then...

    Johnson Leathers custom 1930 Levi reproduction

    That is bloody nice jacket! I might have to go into JL and see how much a brown version of that would be. It's pretty much bang on what I've been after in a civvy jacket for awhile now.

    ID original WW2 IRVIN Multi panel... date? maker?

    I'm guessing what Andrew meant to type was 'I now have a commission for valuing Irvins - 10% of the sale price'

    Alpaca question

    A trick you can sometimes use on an itchy fabric is to gently rub it down with a bar of soap or a cloth with some conditioner or fabric softener on. Just a little. De-ionized water can sometimes do the same trick. Apparently it helps re-align the short filaments so they don't stick out and cause...

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    Just to keep the thread on topic as well. I think this photo is probably a repeat but hey, what's not to love about it?

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    ^This is the truth. We should constantly remind ourselves of the bad parts of human history and nature not just the good. Keeping stuff like this buried allows it to fester and grow. Only to repeat itself again and again. Nothing should be hidden but it should be brought out, looked at and...

    Aero made me a Lady Shackleton vest

    I love mine and I'm sure you will too. It's much more versatile than most people give it credit for.

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    ^You know I always see this written about the guys in the War not giving the fit of stuff a 2nd thought. While I sort of agree, human nature doesn't really change all that much and these were young guys after all. I think that many of them would have cared and wanted to look as sharp in their...
