    why are the japanese so great at repros?

    Just had a look at the Real MCCoy Japan catalogue and WOW. It´s just not fair is it ? Why do they get such a huge choice of fantastic repros? I would love to buy half the stuff in that catalogue. Fabulous repros -work shirt, sweats, t-shirts, jackets etc. So I am wondering why are the japanese...

    anybody been dealing with Jantzen tailor lately?

    So last sunday I ordered a shirt from Janzen tailors. Read some good reviews of their shirts here and thought that I would get a nice vintage cut, long pointy collar work shirt. Send them my CC details, filled out the form but never heard back from them. Send further 3 email in 4 days and still...

    Buying a really short utility jacket

    In many ways the true vintage look is based on short jackets. Most leathers jackets or denim jackets in the 30´s up until the 50´s were short to very short. Only a few styles were longer so if you are buying a vintage style jacket that should be short make sure it really isn´t longer than it...

    Aero Bootlegger or Cropduster, what do you recommend ?

    i like em all Man oh man all them fine jackets. I got my mind set on the Aero Hercules with a fur collar. Not sure if black or brown. Sure this jacket aint suited for a spin on my bike but it does looks classy otherwise. Now all I gotta do is get the dough, all of 380 quid to pay for the jacket.

    Aero Bootlegger or Cropduster, what do you recommend ?

    it´s gonna be a long half belt after all well, I have changed my mind after all. I have too many short jackets (B6, B15, B10,A2) so I really need a longer style jacket. i now fancy the Aero long half belt jacket. Anyone in possesion of that jacket?

    Aero Bootlegger or Cropduster, what do you recommend ?

    Hi all, I am in the process of deciding what my next jacket will be and I have narrowed it down to the Aero Bootlegger or Cropduster jacket. I have enough military style jackets so I thought I go for a real 40s style jacket to go with either khakis or jeans and possibly to use on my 1953 Jawa...

    Bill's Khakis: M1 vs. M2

    well i have a pair of M2P s and they are definately very narrow at the bottom and I dont wear them because of this. The pants are definately high waisted but taper too much at the leg. I should have got the M1 model. If you are into an authentic vintage look get the M1 model.

    Bow Ties

    Hi flat-top. I too have a great collection of late 40´s and 50´s clip on bow ties. I just love the look of a cool bow tie and a gab jacket with some nice gab pants.I agree with you, it gives you a real authentic hepcat look, kinda between casual and formal, for me just right for work. I often...

    Vintage style t-shirts

    if you want real authentic 40s style t-shirts you can´t go wrong with the LVC range. Nearly every year they have a 40s or 50s style t-shirt and they are excellent cut and quality. They come up on ebay every now and then and I never paid more than 30 bucks for them. I have the white 50s tee, the...

To pick up on the thread about Geronimo : Jane from Geronimo does make some very fine 50s repros and yes they are definately 50s style.

    long pointy collar forties shirt, where to get them?

    I think Skin Deep must have changed since the 80?Ǭ¥s and early 90?Ǭ¥s. I remember the shop being packed with beautiful 40?Ǭ¥s and 50?Ǭ¥s repro clothing. The guru of hep and cool John Tesoriero used to work there, a cat with an unbelievable collection of original clothing and he sure knew...

    LVC, Lee, repro denim quality ?????

    BellyTank, you are right. The Wranglers do look nice. However they do seem to have a different fit. Especially the tighter MWZ model I tried on was a bit uncomfortable. They are not as popular with the "rockin?Ǭ¥" community ( I think they are mostly the folks who buy a lot of the repro jeans)...

    LVC, Lee, repro denim quality ?????

    Yeah the LVC?Ǭ¥s are US made. The old 541 bucklebacks were made in Italy in the mid 90?Ǭ¥s and they are still going strong.

    LVC, Lee, repro denim quality ?????

    sure, like you said any jeans will wear out where they are cuffed.... but there is a difference in wearing out a hole in 6 months or 4 years . And all the LVC?Ǭ¥s I have just seem to wear quicker than I thought they would.

    LVC, Lee, repro denim quality ?????

    I got a pretty extensive repro denim collection together with the 1929 LVC, 1933 LVC, 1947 and 1955 LVC?Ǭ¥s as well as a couple of LEE?Ǭ¥s 101 B and Z. Now everyone goes on about the premium XX redline, blueline denim that LVC especially use and how much longer it will last. I don?Ǭ¥t...

    long pointy collar forties shirt, where to get them?

    Sure, nothing like the original. However lot of stuff sold on ebay is described as "near new" but when the stuff arrives is a different story. Measurements takes are often wrong so that the item does not fit or the condition is way worse than described. Just bought a 50?Ǭ¥s chambray shirt and...

    Modern "high waisted" trousers?

    I have 4 pairs of rock-a cha high waisted zoot style pants. Two of those I had custom made because I didn?Ǭ¥t like the way the leg tapers on the zoot pants. So two pairs I have with a wide leg and they look killer diller. The fabric is ok if you take into account the fact that it is modern...
