    Is my G-1 mouton real?

    Andy's right, btw: there's no way that's anything but top quality real (as the grandson of a Greek furrier, I'm pretty certain of it).

    Is my G-1 mouton real?

    Burn a few strands and see what happens.

    Vintage Photos of Leather Jackets

    Are those Free French pilots? Something about the gloves and scarf - and the pin-on wings... But did French flyers wear A2s?

    Suggestions For Long Jacket

    Good suggestions, all. I'm looking for something lighter than a Barnstormer or a Hudson, ideally, and I have a personal aversion to cargo/handwarmer pockets, though I really like A1/G1 pockets on a longer jacket :rolleyes: Here's a vintage number I'd love to have copied (making the pocket...

    Suggestions For Long Jacket

    Then there's the Pegasus car coat: http://www.pegasusjackets.com/car-coat-description.php Not keen on the action back, though. If anyone has seen the Aero Wayfarer, do you think it could stand an extra 2 - 3 inches in length?

    Suggestions For Long Jacket

    I've decided to go for a long-ish, 1920s/1930s style: 28-30 inches. What I'd really like is a Himel Canuck or one of the Japanese 'railroad coats' made by people like Freewheelers and Rainbow Country but those are waaay out of my budget. Obvious choices are the Aero Mulligan and Teamster, but...

    Identifying A-1 Jacket

    Who are Whitefeather? First I've heard of them, and their stuff looks very nice. Any experience from anyone?

    Unusual Cafe Racer style Half belt

    I love mandarin collar jackets that aren't cafe racers. This is a beauty, all right!

    Would you care? Would you fix it?

    Nah. A little imperfection just shows off the perfection elsewhere.

    Russet Goatskin: untouched and monkeyed with

    I say yes to monkeys. The more the merrier. I have a thing about the look of very old goatskin and the piece you've done the business on looks great.

    New Aero Premium Slim Fit 1930's Half Belt

    Cooperson, I've been avoiding this thread out of sheer, blind jealousy but I have to say that the longer jacket looks more or less perfect to me. They're both beauties and as Schitzo says, the hide is immense. The longer one hits just right at the back and is exactly what I'd go for.

    Leather Jackets With Ties

    Leather jacket with tie? Very tricky, IMHO. It's a vintage look, and personally I wouldn't try it unless the trousers were vintage or vintage style, ditto the shirt and the footwear. And the tie has to be spot-on as well. I suppose I might just be scarred by memories of the New Wave era: black...

    Leather jacket length and untucked shirts..

    Alas, no. With all the beards, East London looks like a Gettysburg reunion these days. I expect the gangsters all live in the Cotswolds now.

    Leather jacket length and untucked shirts..

    I surrender to your local knowledge. :yield:I thought the unfeasibility of trousers was strictly a Shoreditch phenomenon...

    Leather jacket length and untucked shirts..

    You're probably right, though I remember that scene being described as 'hipster' long before the current meaning of the word. My guess is the whole thing probably came out of the Japanese rockabilly scene a long time ago, when hipster meant something other than 'massive, bushy beard, unfeasibly...

    Leather jacket length and untucked shirts..

    My rule is that, as long as the bottom buttonhole of the shirt isn't lower than the bottom of the jacket, it's OK to untuck, which only works with modern, tailless shirts, obviously. Dress shirts do have to be tucked, I'll concede that much!

    Leather jacket length and untucked shirts..

    I'll just jump in here to say that I don't think there's anything particularly up-to-date with the ELMC models' look. The only hipster element is the beard. The rest of it is... well, I've been dressing like that for decades. I'm with Seb Lucas in that I'm not interested at all in authenticity...

    Clothing Identification

    That's a very pre-war look, though: early 1930s, not late. And that jacket configuration, I believe, is even earlier. It's a really nice graphic.

    Coat Identification

    My guess would be vintage Aquascutum - the fabric and cut just have that look.
