Thanks! I grew up in Brooklyn a Mets fan but have a big interest in the history of the game; every old timer I’d meet would always talk about their love of “dem Bums”. The Brooklyn Dodgers will always be one of the most storied baseball clubs in history.
With the start of baseball season, it was time to wear the ol’ Brooklyn Dodgers varsity jacket. Made by Moonlight Graham, 100% wool body and leather sleeves. Thick chenille lettering. Quilted lining. Had brunch with my wife at a local diner that has that all-stainless steel Art Deco exterior...
Some crazy weather in NY Harbor lately; days of rain, then fog, then just crazy storm conditions (some gusts at 60mph!). Been wearing my black cowhide leather ex-U.S. Border Patrol uniform jacket.
Does anyone here know what the numbers stamped on a WWII Acme Thunderer whistle mean? A. M. is the British Air Ministry, but I’m not sure if the numbers have any meaning?
Thanks in advance.
Sunny, warm day today so I tackled some yard work in my LW A-2. Lots of awesome Lost Worlds jackets posted on TFL lately; I’m tempted to go on the LW website and order something new....:rolleyes:;)

Asking $700 shipped

For colder weather I layer under my jackets with a fleece vest or a cashmere/wool sweater. Even a thin goose down vest can be worn under a leather jacket (the goose down compresses well).
The Suburban I had about 10...
I’ve owned several LW jackets over the years and always went with the standard lining (flight satin nylon in a Suburban and a Raider, cotton twill in an A-2, rayon in a G-1).
All have served me well.
The quilted fight satin lining that @ton312 mentioned does sound good tho!
Perhaps on my next...
US Border Patrol leather jacket; I removed the sewn-on badge tab from the chest and slapped a company patch over the stitch holes. Makes a perfect work jacket!
You can find these jackets on eBay for around $100 or so. They are very high quality (on par with Gibson & Barnes I would say). Some...
