Personally, I have never known Charles from HPA to be anything but helpful. I had a pair of BR chinos go wildly astray in the post and he went out of his way to correct the situation. Even before that he measured several pairs for me to make sure I got the right fit. BR make on the whole...

My gut feeling says 'no', could be wrong but it just doesn't feel right? Plus it is more of an USN 37J1 than an A-1. Which is still a good jacket style mind you. On my GW A-1 John used 3 piece sleeves and unfinished edges on the sleeve seems, with triple stitch. Now this may be different on the...

I have jackets in all kinds of hide, from HH to Cape and they all creek to some extent or another. The only thing that seems to stop it is temperature. If the jackets are good and warm, they don't squeak. None of the various leather conditioning products have ever made a real difference. In fact...

Just wear 'em! That's how you break them in. Then wash them when they need it. Don't listen to all the 'never wash' hype. Turn them inside out, avoid the spin cycle, not too much soap and hang dry. Welcome to another very slippery slope to madness! Haha!

Yes, virtually a charter member of Denimbro. Mr r and I are friends from when I used to live in SF. He actually took this photo.

Colour me jealous. I am lusting after an ANJ-4 so badly but I am completely broke. Nice catch on a lovely jacket.

This photo has been up a few times now on various sites but here's me in the GW Dubow in front of the USS Hornet.

They both have more wear on them now but these give you some idea. If I get chance and decent daylight I will post newer ones soon.

Cobblers, I will post some photos but at the moment Photobucket is down or so it seems?

My favourite civilian jacket is my GW J-100. I believe it to be the first one John made from copying an original? Buttery soft Horween HH. Military wise it's also a GW, my Dubow 20960 in russet Shinki. It's been through everything from hiking on the moors through woods and brambles, rain storms...

With regards to this question. One answer is maybe nobody does? Certain items are sometimes produced as 'Show Pieces' to promote the quality a company can attain and only ever sell in very small quantities. The other answer is the walk in factor. London is full of people with large amounts of...

Looks like something Ralph Lauren would make so in that case it's a bargain. Haha! But yeah, no!

Fantastic! Well done to both of you.

Short answer to that is "They weren't". They were to lazy to do any real thinking or homework and were lead like lambs to the slaughter. Sad thing is ignorance and laziness is all to prevelant in the 1st World these days. Just look at the fact that Trump has even got to within sniffing distance...

Signed. Perhaps someone with a Twitter account should share it?
