    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    In a sense the route of Mark Moyes problems was Lauder. There was no reason for me to buy anything from him as I'm in the UK but I remember email conversations with him about various things including how much he was paying wholesale.

    Leather U Boat Jackets

    I don't think the old hand with the glasses is to impressed with the show of force. They sailed into coastal waters near the end of the war to surrender. The RN would have offered a tot of rum or a cup of tea ! (I think it may be 1945 but I can't remember where I downloaded the image from...

    Leather U Boat Jackets

    I don't know much about KM uniforms, my main interest is WWII aviation. I suppose you would have to try to trace back the RB. number on a submariner jacket. This is a good photo. Crew surrendering to the USN. The guy nearest the camera looks an old sea dog judging by the wear on his cap and...

    Look at the back of the left cuff. 100% redskin shearling on my colour corrected monitor. Always best though to avoid harsh sunlight photographing jackets.
