I scored a great set of HB-7 Headphones fitted with ANB-H-1 receivers and the red PL-354 bail out plug. (HS-33?) and it came with a black JK-26 extension plug.
The receivers are Made by SHURE Brothers, Chicago, USA
they are in great shape. the leather is still soft and plyable. they came with one original MC-162-A rubber ear pad that is also soft and plyable. too bad the other was missing but I got a post war Japan made replacement of the same MC-162-A spec that match perfectly to the...

The aero royale must be one of their least known jackets, it's impossible to find a photo of someone wearing one and no info any of the usual forums.
I'm in the process of clearing out my wardrobe to raise funds for a new jacket and I'm really taken by the royale, a simple look, no knits and tapered at the waist and something British rather than the usual american style jackets.
Ken if you read this do have any photos of someone wearing one?

Gents..
I bid but then the persistent '0' bidder popped up so walked away. Not a fan of shill bids.
Doesn't specify Eastman but think it is earlier model. Photo 12 shows bottom of collar to hem at the back.

If it were a Hartmann I would still be going. Half an hour to run.

Hi All,
Wanted to let the Forum know that I am currently gearing up for a M-422 build. The original label for that jacket is seen here.
Shortly, I'll be reproducing this Switlik under my individualized name. On the other hand, not before I completely restore my original jacket. Not to mention only after having taken it down to it's individual pieces and patterned it complete. Thereby making all...

Hi Guys,
I am looking at buying a new jacket and thought I would ask for some thoughts from you guys.
So I currently have a 1950s Flight Jacket from Aero (see below), it has Alpaca lining and a black fur collar. It's made with the full weight tumbled brown horse hide. Its a fantastic jacket and fits really well, lots of room to put a jumper on under it etc. The only issue I have is its very very thick and heavy and honestly its just not flexible enough...

I went to an estate sale the other day on some typewriter hunting and stumbled upon these two flight suits which were not advertised at the sale. After I saw the first I began to scour a large library of books looking for any information I could find on the owner. A happened to catch the attention of a neighbor who gave me the owners name and I was able to find his obituary from 2009. I wasnt expecting to buy these but I wanted to save them from a goodwill or trash bin. Also I figured I...

Haven't seen a lot of people posting their Christmas haul this year, so I thought I'd start showing off. I ordered this RW 23380 from Kelso in July and it arrived in October. I'm glad I asked Andy to send it to my family's house instead of mine, cuz I don't think I would have been able to hold out that extra 2 months for Christmas otherwise!

These few jacket took 1 full year for my tailor to complete, whom quite un-willingly to take my order or reluctantly took my order cos Given the very specific distance of one seam to another, they are obviously not the easier job for him to earn his bread & butter :< but I have co-op with him for over 30-40 jackets maybe, so we have an mutual understanding !
Some of them are not military , but is definitely retro, including the 2 outdoor Parka. I hope it does not break the rules here since I...

Here is a jacket I picked up this week-end. It’s an N-3A form C.H. Masland & Sons. The over-all condition is pretty good considering its age. I’ve always been interested in the Korean War era and jet age from the 50’s, and picking pieces of equipment from that era is still possible. I will have it cleaned professionally and fix some issues here and there.
Wish I could put a production date on it. Anyways enjoy!
Dany.
