    What's going on with the FL site?

    Fingers crossed was unusable at times recently

    USAF N-3B parkas - Let's talk about them!!

    Just scored an Alpha N-3B Civvy in black (USA made). Waiting for the post now, hopefully it will be an improvement on the thin ‘cosplay’ Alpha I landed earlier in the year and can’t seem to sell …looks like an N-3B but without the insulation :-)

    Vehicles owned by Outerwear members?

    Crazy little thing but it is a thing. Two cylinder Twin Air was also put in some smaller Alfas but was recently discontinued on economy grounds and replaced by either a diesel or mild hybrid. Spirited drive for something under 900 cc..reminds me of a motorcycle I once owned :-)

    Vehicles owned by Outerwear members?

    I’ve gone from Abarth 595’s to a Fiat Panda Cross 4X4 with a wacky 2 cylinder engine with turbo. It’s a jacked up and pimped up Panda but extremely enjoyable to drive and comfortable to boot. Great for our shocking roads in some parts of the UK & recent very wet weather. Enough space now to...

    USAF N-3B parkas - Let's talk about them!!

    Recently purchased a DJ Man Corp N-3B from 2003, very well made parka if somewhat lacking the vintage feel of earlier coats. It’s certainly wearable here in the UK from ‘chilly’ on down the temp scale…

    Five Stars Leathers: remake of a 30's "Aviator's" style Jacket

    Very nice little project and a great end result. Got 5* to replicate a trucker I sent them from denim to leather which they did to the cm.

    The smartest, most timeless sunglasses?

    Maui Jim sunglasses, anyone got any experience of them? Thinking about a pair of their ‘Stingrays’.

    L2B (or not 2B?) that is the question

    I w I would hope you’d get £80 back on it without too much effort. I’d try £100 BIN to start (with offers) & come down slightly on that. USA made ones used to sell for as little as £45 a few years back & I have a few of the cleaner examples from that period. Prices defo on the up these days….

    Simon James Cathcart/Cathcart London Problems

    You got me thinking Edward & that’s a bad thing! Hit up the card for a black goatskin Flat Racer jacket in a 48. Numbers work for me apart from the sleeves but my tailor works with leather as well as fabric and it should be a straight forward shortening job given the pattern. My rationale is...

    L2B (or not 2B?) that is the question

    If I was selling in the UK I’d want at least £65.00 for it. Values of the ‘Made in USA’ have gone up a bit, over here at least..

    Chucked it all on a credit card…thankfully the college V neck isn’t my cup of char :) Loving the merino Jazz in those colours and cut Edward…

    Simon James Cathcart/Cathcart London Problems

    Could spend some serious money Edward, thankfully their suits are too narrow in the shoulders for me. A few years ago I was in dialogue with Simon & couldn’t afford much due to several unexpected house bills & joked with him about it…a few days later an SJC silk neckerchief arrived gratis in the...

    Simon James Cathcart/Cathcart London Problems

    Just ordered the Brakeman Cords & Jazz jumper which should both drop in Oct, took advantage of the 25% early order discount & will have something to look forwards to. Will have paid off the credit card too hopefully :)

    Should I get rid of the following jackets?

    If you wear it then keep it, if not I’d move it on. Took me a number of years but all leather jackets in my stable are now wearers that I’m more than happy with (6). No room for wardrobe queens…

    Waiting Too Long ruining excitement?

    Ordered a pair of SJC Cord trews that won’t ship until end of September, got a discount for the advanced order & payment. By the time they drop I will more or less have forgotten about them and the $ paid. Will almost feel like a free pair of pants :)

    there is a new thread on VLJ concerning an order…maybe you need to have a look at it.

    Simon James Cathcart/Cathcart London Problems

    I have been buying his attire for years and can affirm that it is of the most excellent quality and that customer service has been faultless. I’m currently looking to spend more ££££ with regard to his 2023 Winter collection…In fact today I wore two of his jackets in response to changing weather...
