    Customer experiences with Aero Leather

    I'm chiming in on this one a bit late but my own experiences with Aero - which were a few years ago - couldn't have been more positive. I bought an old Irvin jacket from them which didn't fit and so they took it back without a quibble. And then they copied the old one for me. I had a few long...

    Death of one of "The Few"

    We're losing the WW2 generation, and it seems like only yesterday that they weren't even middle-aged. The war still doesn't seem like 'history' to me, though. It's too recent for that.

    I Bought an ELC G-1 55J14 Jacket

    I made an impulse purchase of a really nice Eastman Leather G-1 - ironically, it was sent from California, when I live less than 5 miles from ELC - I don't even want to think about the carbon footprint :eek: It ended up being a size too big - it's a 44 - and it's already gone to a good home...

    Horse or Harley? What are these boots what I have bought?

    Nice boots! They certainly look like Aviakit/Lewis Leathers. Could have done with Noel Edmunds' grinning mug, though... that barnet has haunted me for years.

    FS: Filson, WW2 Leather Jerkin

    Almost the end of my grand spring cleaning: a piece of almost too genuine American workwear in the form of a very well-used Filson tin-cloth jacket and a British Army leather jerkin dated 1945. The Filson is style 64 which they don't make anymore, basically an unlined field coat in a size 44...

    FS: Victorian Man's Waistcoat - Amazing

    Up for sale, something I know almost nothing about, except that it's a man's waistcoat, very obviously handmade, dating almost certainly from the last half of the 19th Century. The only identifying mark on it is stamped on the buckle: "Prima France." It's of some sort of cotton dyed with...

    FS: 1960s British Motorcycle Leathers jacket 44

    Up for sale: my 1960s vintage British Motorcycle Leathers cafe racer jacket in blue. These Canadian jackets are becoming quite sought after. I bought this from Dave Hillel (http://vintageleatherjackets.blogspot.com/) a couple of years ago. Selling to fund new purchases. It's a really sharp...

    1930's- 40's repro workwear

    It's big in Japan, as they say. Check out Sugarcane, Buzz Rickson etc etc. Hinoya, I believe, ships to Europe: http://www.rakuten.ne.jp/gold/hinoya/ And there's a guy in the States selling repro chamray work shirts on ebay for under $30 - do a worldwide search for 'chambray shirt.' And for...

    Source for Chromed stud work for Cycle Champ.

    I was going to say 'check out the punk shops down the King's Road,' and then I remembered I was thinking about 30 years ago... Ah, well, at least Punx Not Dead. Undead, possibly.

    Source for Chromed stud work for Cycle Champ.

    Hmm. I used to find these quite easily in the States, but here... Try a haberdasher's - perhaps one of the ones on Berwick Street (if you're in London) or a trawl around Camden. An ebay search for chrome spots or nailheads might turn up something, though probably in the US. Or else you could buy...

    Can someone date this jacket for me?

    1990s, I think. If Messers Eardley and Johnson are out there, I'm sure they could give you a precise answer.

    Seabiscuit "George Woolf" Bootlegger.

    Looking at the title of this thread I thought the 'Seabiscuit' reference was just a snide word for horsehide - quite a few years ago I had a hh jacket that was referred to more than once as 'Shergar...' (Shergar being a famous racehorse who was kidnapped/horsenapped in 1983 and disappeared for...

    My vintage leather jacket and I are reunited after 14 years apart!!

    What a cool story - and a brilliant jacket. Irvin Foster made G-1 flight jackets for the US Navy in the 1960s. There's an extremely nice one here: http://moorecustom.com/jackets/G-1_7823A_IFoster_42.htm. Your jacket looks older, though - 50s at least, and the Conmar would back that up. But...
