Luftwaffe style leather jackets vs "rocker" leather jackets?
@TropicalbobThere are a couple of reviews of Pegasus jackets here. The consensus is that they are in the same league as aero et al. I respect them for coming up with their own interpretations of the classics, rather than doing a bog standard copy. @Mihai, not sure about the shoulder boards... -
Luftwaffe style leather jackets vs "rocker" leather jackets?
This is the one... Here it is worn by fighter wing 1 jet pilots shortly before their surrender in May 1945. This is my repro Fairly accurate, but I'm still looking for someone to make me one in brown leather. -

Luftwaffe style leather jackets vs "rocker" leather jackets?
Jack, my jacket is the nachtjager which is something I was looking for for ages after seeing photos of late war Luftwaffe pilots. It is the only leather jacket issued by the Luftwaffe, between 1943 and 1945. I think jacket warmth is subjective to an extent, but to give you my perspective, I... -

Luftwaffe style leather jackets vs "rocker" leather jackets?
I tend to agree with Mihai that the interlining on the NH jackets spoils the feel a bit. Not only that, it turns an all weather jacket into a strictly winter garment. It is too warm. I had mine removed by a tailor. If you can convince them to make you a jacket without the filling, I'd do it... -
One doofus or an annoying trend in socks?
You know, the grey suit exists because of reactions like those in this thread. The idea is to look as neutral as possible. Being considered boring is far preferable to the ridicule the sock guy has to endure in vintage clothing forums!!- Metatron

There is some good stuff indeed... but lots of things like ties with a hole in the middle for £5, and 1970s tweed jackets for £40 which is really something I would rather pick up in a charity shop for less than £10. Then the trousers were generally too wide for me... I did not see that...- Metatron

Swedish M36 wool army tunics at SOF from £5 !!
Thought I'd share my own experience with the Swedish tunic for whoever might be interested. My jacket arrived in seemingly deadstock condition. Others here have praised its' virtues, but I will add that it has a plethora of pockets which are very capacious and easily fit a paperback with room...- Metatron

Gable in a Leather Jacket I Think May Be The Perfect Thing.
I also think that once you've got the asymmetrical thing going on, you don't need many additional details. They tend to look better without press studs on the lapels imho.- Metatron

Show us their suits
I find increasingly that some features which were in/out of vogue suit only individuals with specific figures/features/proportions. Huge shoulders do not look good on someone with a small head, that's for sure. It became apparent to me when I saw some photos of Dirk Bogarde in this thread in...
