    Eastman A2 Warhorse size 42

    Hi all. I’m looking to move on my Eastman A2 as I’ve finally come to terms that it’s too small for me. The jacket is in the Eastman goat hide which is a thing of real beauty courtesy of the depth and subtle variation of the veg dye and has amazing grain. I’ve had a few Eastmans over the years...

    Barbour Sylkoil dressing

    Thanks for all the responses gents. The Barbour website is a bit vague as to what Sylkoil is and the name suggests it is a dressing rather than the qualities of the fabric. Barbour thornproof is a bit thin on the ground here in Oz so I’ve gone with the Nikwax spray on wax cotton which gets fair...

    Barbour Sylkoil dressing

    Afternoon all. I’ve just bought a second hand Barbour Ashby which I think has the Sylkoil dressing on it. It really needs to be re proofed but I can’t seem to find any Sylkoil stockists anywhere? Would anyone know of one? Failing that would I be able to use the regular Thornproof dressing or...

    Dating a G1

    Hi all. I’ve got the opportunity to buy a size 46 Ralph Edwards G1 but I’m unsure of the age. Can any of you fellas ID it from the label and knits. I think it’s a 64 but want to confirm this. Any assistance is much appreciated.

    Aviation Leathercraft Irvin Sizing

    They are beautifully made jackets RHA but I would think long and hard before getting one. My first Irvin was a ALC and I found it waaay too bulky (even for an Irvin) and the tubular arms were very uncomfortable. Apparently the older ones were cut better and maybe if your going 2nd hand it might...

    You and Shawn should take a bow Ton. Great work on this design. Even my wife likes it and she generally doesn’t get my jacket habit.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I think there is a bit of “luck of the draw Nick. My first 5* was the Doniger A2. It had a strong smell for a while but I rubbed it down with some leather conditioner and it came good. The Halfbelt smells a little but I expect it to clear on its own with a few days airing.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Received my 5* winter halfbelt this morning five days after it was put in the post to me and 8 days since ordering. I just went with the “off the rack” Seal goat, sizing, standard moulton and lining. I really could not be happier with it! It fits really well to my eye and, although there is a...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I gave mine a rubdown with some leather conditioner Minh, there’s was a fairly significant amount of residue which came off. I also hung it outside for a while. The smell does fade and I now have a2 that smells of goat hide.
