    Vanson Comet PLU Size 44

    Hi GMan. I’m 6’3 and around 100kg. I’m not sure what my waist is but from memory it’s about 40in, I will check and get back to you when I’m near a tape. I had the same concerns as you about the length of the jacket but Carrie at Thurston helped me out by selecting a jacket that was marginally...

    Vanson Comet PLU Size 44

    Hi Aerofan. Thanks for pointing that out. The PLU is the Thurston version of the Comet and I think is more aimed at buyers who want the cafe racer style rather than a specific riding jacket. I’ve got a bit of time today to try and get the photos on. I use an IPad, can you recommend an app to...

    Vanson Comet PLU Size 44

    Hi all, Looking to move on my Vanson/Thurston Comet PLU. The jacket is in mint condition outside of creases where you would expect them. Its from a non smoking house so there are no odours of any variety. There is no marks or fading in the leather and its fairly supple courtesy of the tennis...

    I've looked in a lot of shechty 2nd hand and militaria shops to fine these jackets Peacoat. The fella who sold me the jackets I found last year said that his customers want original militaria not repos and the general public wont (generally) spend $1000 on a second hand niche market jacket...

Confirmed all the details of the jacket, agreed the price an he pulled the trigger but then disappeared at the point of paying.

    RMNZ B3

    Xmas certainly did come early! I can’t understand why I got it so cheap as I would imagine the shop owner, being an antique/Militaria specialist would have researched it, I’m not complaining tho! I see from doing my own research on here that you are a big fan of the RMNZ brand and I can see...

    RMNZ B3

    I managed to snare this beauty while looking for leather working tools in an antique and Militaria shop near me. As the heading states, it’s a Real McCoys B3 size 46 which cost me $200 Australian! Couldn’t believe the price and it fits me like a glove. It’s pretty much mint with only a slight...

    This is tempting Meachamlake. From memory you and I are similar sizes from our B6 buying days. Can I ask what your chest and waist measurements are? Any chance you can post a picture of you wearing it? Pm me if your happier with that. Garry

    (Travel) Where to visit in England?

    Go to Edinburgh, Train will pick you up from Kings Cross in London then drop you off at Waverley station Edinburgh which is pretty much walking distance to thousands of hotels in God’s own capital. Seriously tho, Edinburgh is a great city for the car-less as it’s very compact and most of the...

    For sale all original 1942 Irvin Chute flying jacket size 6

    Looks great Kunja. I struggled to sell the jacket as I loved it but it looks the business on you and you appreciate the assumed provenance of the jacket so I’m happy for you. Don’t know what your winter weather is like but by the time you maybe get an RAF submariner under it you will be snug...

    Suggestions for B-6 shearling jacket

    Hi Unknown, there is a shop in Brunswick called Pickings and Parry who measure and take orders on behalf of Aero in Scotland. I know for a fact they have a B6 in there which is a smaller size (38 or 40 from memory) which might be of use. They also have samples of Aero hides and are generally a...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Looks way better on you than it ever did me Nick. I loved the hide which is apparently the seal which I ordered and not Russet which I’m certain I received! Got a bit of sellers remorse now.......... Garry

    Replacement for Carhartt Chore Coat

    Hi Retromoto, I’m on the point of ordering one of these jackets too. Can I ask your measurements and what size you went for? I’m 6’3, 43 chest and they have recommended a Medium tall which seems a bit small for me? Also, how does the colour on the site compare to the jacket in the flesh? Any...
