There's an A-2 in the window right now. I didn't get it off the mannequin as it seemed to be cowhide. I may go back and have a closer gander. It looked to be in pretty damn good shape, but i suspect a repro. bk

I also found this while trying to find out about the Reagan jackets. Alan Ladd ad: bk

I think there's some mileage for dating them in the "Warner Brothers First National Star" designation. At some point after the takeover, Warner Bros stopped crediting First National but I don't think this was until the middle-late '50s. Reagan, for one, was only a star - and even that's tenuous...

I nicked these images from an eBay auction a while back. Styled by George Brent.

1930s-40s, styled by Ronnie Reagan. I know of tie-ins with at least 2 others - Alan Ladd and George Brent. Really well made, and "washable goatskin". Californian made some sweet jackets … I can't quite work out from Tanaka's books whether the pink or grren mountains are the first pattern label...

I don't think you can double list the same item. You have to do it simultaneously as someone suggested above. Small fee applies, I believe. I don't know - never done it, someone else can give better info - but, for me, doing this would be absolutely contingent upon being able to select the...

As stated above, log on to eBay US and away you go! It's nice to be able to do so, when eBay US offers a good deal - like they had on from 26th May to 1st June - for no listing fees for any start price.

I'm selling some of my stuff on eBay. 1930s Macy's suede. Named and dated: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300432475748&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT 1930s British A-1 style: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300432971160&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT And the...

hmmm interesting. I'm guessing late 50s-60s on the jacket. For what it is it's quite nice, quite a nice Talon, though i'd be guessing the fur is a later addition. Ridiculous price, obviously. I really love how the seller can't be bothered to let us know why it's a $3,500 jacket. :lol: That's...

I should stop referring to the zip as a replacement. This is what i was told, but i'm unconvinced. Better pics. Front. Note there was something stuck at one point to the left shoulder. Back. Art Pockets. Closed Open: Ring type snaps throughout the jacket. Made by Stocko. And the...

whoops. I should have mentioned that this is definitely not an issued jacket. :oops: Sorry 'bout that, guys. I'm unclear as to the exact vintage of it, which is why i'm looking for opinions. The zip is a replaced YKK, the snaps are by Stocko. I have pics ready to upload. bk

I have better pics but forgot to bring them. I'll be starting a thread about this jacket when i get them uploaded. As always, forgive the iMac pictures. It does have a patch, too. This was a very popular Vargas Esquire centrefold. There were many planes called Pistol Packin Mama, with...

Digging through my boxes of stuff to sell, I came across one I forgot I had. I was looking through my size 42-46 box and this popped out of its protective ricepaper wrapping. An original British A1-style jacket. There are obvious differences between this jacket and the military A1 we've seen...

Nice. A very persistent style, that one; It'll be relatively difficult to date accurately. A close look at any buckles/buttons/zippers (though it doesn't look like there are any zippers) would be nice for trying to date things. Also, that label scrunched up at the collar seam. Any labels in the...

Excellent stuff. Not cheap for most of it, but often not ridiculous either. They had a B3 at one point which i recall being a bit pricey. There was a pile of old British leather there for a wee while. Expensive, but it's very scarce, so understandable. The business appears to be a group effort...
