Aero Leather Vintage horsehide
Hi All, I could do with a bit of advice from Aero jacket owners please. I've had several FQHH jackets from Aero but always ended up selling them on as they were too heavy and very inflexible when cold. I also found them cold in winter. Maybe due to the wax in the hide conducting the cold too...- Dudleydoright

Reference book for vintage leather jackets
There isn't one So far all the books recommended only refer to military flight jackets and not 'Vintage' jackets as was mentoned in the original post. I've got a good dozen that show military, as well as copies of the Real McCoy's yearbook which has great photos of repro vintage styled...- Dudleydoright

WWII aircraft pilot dies in crash
Use 'Em !! I am very sorry to hear of the loss of the pilot and his aircraft. And whilst I respect the rights of everyone to their opinion, here's mine !! The pilot was willing to take the risks with his life and his plane and probably flying at airshows was his way of allowing himself...- Dudleydoright

Khakis - which ones?
Originals Just keep your eyes peeled on Ebay. I've bought quite a few pairs in my size in good to mint condition. Those I don't wear I just keep buying and sticking up in my attic for future use. I can recommend the Buzz Rickson ones too. More of a Steve McQueen fit i.e. slightly more...- Dudleydoright

APOLOGIES Well, I better apologise for saying SOOOOO American. It was a sterrotype I was aluding to and I should have stuck some kind of emoticon on the end of that sentence.

Mmmmmm Apologies if I appear to be preaching. You would seem to be as well qualified as I in firearms handling. Although FYI a British soldier was killed in Afghanistan by his mate who was handling a weapon he was unfamiliar with in the belief that it was unloaded / safe and blew his mates...- Dudleydoright

NO !!!! THAT is SOOOOOO American !! Every weapon must be treated as if it were loaded and with the safety off. First rule of weapon handling is ONLY POINT A GUN AT SOMETHING THAT YOU DON'T CARE IF IT GETS KILLED / DESTROYED. The attitude that something is unloaded and so safe is the...- Dudleydoright

Anorak : Like Pitt wears in "TIBET"
Front closures I think that the reality is that the modern anorak follows the Innuit / Eskimeaux tradition. They didn't have zippers, velcro etc back then and there is a lot of extra work in terms of sewing to put a front closure in. To properly ventilate an anorak requires such a deep front...- Dudleydoright

Not good drills Is that guy's hand over the end of the barrel ? I have a friend who did that and blew off his thumb back to the palm. He had to have his little finger removed to replace it.
