    Yahoo! My Aero 1930s Halfbelt Slimfit/Luftwaffe clone has finally arrived. PICTURES!

    The sleeves are lined with heavy satin. I bet it's an overlay (satin over gabardine) but it could well be used without the gabardine. The heavy satin is made from synthetic Rayon (not Nylon). It feels very luxurious and it is also quite heavy. It's a very firm and tight weave. In really hot...

    Urst schau, die Joppe!! Great jacket! I love the colour and the details. The little flap pockets look absolutely amazing and really suit the jacket well. A very stylish creation with loads of cool features. You took some stunning pictures as well. Now get out and have some decent outdoor shots...

    Thanks Dodo! I think the price for the cardi is about 220 Pounds but I think its currently sold out. I got mine as a special deal because it was the last one. There will be more in the near future. That's at least what White told me...

    My Steve McQueen cardigan(s) - This time in heavy cashmere made by White of Hawick

    Thanks everybody. Yes I really like this cardigan. It's warm and incredibly soft. When worn with just a t-shirt and a pair of jeans or chinos it adds to a contemporary look. Wow!! 12-ply cashmere! I wish I had a sweater made out of that!

    Pea Coat: www.vintagetrends.com or e-Bay

    Oh nein! Sorry that I got you wrong! Sometimes I get lost in translation... Size 40 is a good size. I've seen some excellent coats on the VT site during the last couple of months. Make sure to state that you want one in 'minty mint' condition. It pays to spend a little extra to get something...

    My Steve McQueen cardigan(s) - This time in heavy cashmere made by White of Hawick

    Hello everybody, today I'd like to post a quick pictorial review of a recent acquisition. It's a Steve-McQueen-type cardigan with a thick shawl collar made from heavy 3-ply cashmere. Originally a classic piece of knitwear that has been in production for ages, this type of cardigan has...

    Pea Coat: www.vintagetrends.com or e-Bay

    I tend to disagree on this matter! If your chest measurement is 40 inches I wouldn't buy anything larger than size 40. My chest measures 39 inches and my Dale Fashions is a size 38 with enough room for a sweater and shirt underneath. If you order a larger peacoat you will be disappointed with...

    Pea Coat: www.vintagetrends.com or e-Bay

    Here is my vintage Dale Fashions Peacoat. I bought it from Vintage Trends and the coat arrived in absolutely perfect condition. No signs of wear, no holes, no fraying, no moth bites. To make sure that you get what you want you should phone Gary Wallace (owner) and tell him what you are...

    G-1 Porsche Jacket

    Impressive work, man!! How did you achieve the weathered look of the paint? It's nice to see an American icon painted with a German icon... Again, great artwork!

    Vanson Enfield in Cordovan Horsehide - pics!

    I am with eClairvaux on this matter. The sleeves look perfect to me! They are not even on the shorter side but look ideal in length to me. You should leave them as the are. The cuffs might be simply turned in with no top stitching, but I am sure that there is a certain amount of glue involved...

    Oil pull Aero hides

    Windward, your jacket will not be made from the same hide as Diego's. About one or two years ago Aero slightly changed the specs for they Oil-pull. I've heard of many people complaining about how quickly the leather sueded and got a "Nubuck"-appearance. Aero's current OP is much darker and its...

    Help on getting dye out!

    That means that at least one guy in Seattle is driving a decent car. Too bad that anything that can be considered as real "driving" is illegal in America. God bless the German Autobahn!

    **NEWS EXTRA**Good Wear flying jackets take vintage authenticity to new heights!!

    Goodwear's Japanese aniline HH is so versatile and abrasion resistant!! :p As the days are getting warmer here in Northern Germany I checked and waxed my barebows. My Martin Hunter needed a new arrow rest and I found John Chapman's leather to be an excellent choice. The rest was wet...
