    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    My mind is officially blown. Just . . . blown.

    EBay arghh!! ##$&&

    Pleased to hear you were treated fairly Guppy. There are many unscrupulous people out there waiting to take advantage of honest folk at any given opportunity.

    Vanson x Left Field Commando

    Yep another great jacket and review. The body is longer but not so much that it looks wrong on you as I see it. On my monitor the brass zips really pop! An outstanding addition to your collection.

    Lost Worlds J-23 Review/Evo

    Congratulations Carlos, as all have said the fit is superb. Your reviews are always very informative and very much appreciated, and your photos always clear. I know you're going to enjoy the J24 more and more as the weather cools down over there.

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    In Sydney it's "renovator's dream." Which translates as POS nightmare. And there are renovation shows aplenty on the idiot box to convince Mr and Mrs Average that they could "easily" jump in and achieve said renovations themselves.

    How about vacuum cleaning your jeans, denim jacket, and the lining of your leather jackets

    It's worse if they get inside your car, they can lay really flat and fit into almost any space, and they run across the INSIDE of the windscreen or the dashboard while you're driving. That stuff causes accidents!

    That Langlitz is a knockout Bowen! Look at the leather on that beast! Now THAT is a cross-zip.

    How about vacuum cleaning your jeans, denim jacket, and the lining of your leather jackets

    Here in Australia we get these massive huntsman spiders coming into the house, usually when it's about to rain. (They're nicknamed the bushman's friend for that reason). They look fearsome and their legs can span 10 inches or more across, but by and large they're pretty harmless. The easiest...

    Akubra Stylemaster

    They look great gents. My first Stylemaster (black) is now 24 years old and still looks like new. They make a sturdy hat up there in Kempsey.

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    My daughter has thankfully grown out of the habit of using the word 'versus' as a verb rather than a preposition. A couple of years ago, she would be constantly saying things like, "We versed Moorebank in basketball today," or "I'm going to verse my friend Elise at this game." I'd constantly be...

    John D I don't know what your results were like in your school/studies days, but I'm marking you a 10/10 for that Test!

    Brand new Higwayman in Brown Steer

    The Highwayman is the workhorse of the Aero stable (bad pun NOT intended!). It's just THE basic straight zip style and yet can be so hard to get the size right. You got the size spot-on. Love the tartan and the rich colour of the steerhide! Out hemispheres are about to swap weather and I know...

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    Songs and memories: There are some songs that, when heard on the radio or on a movie soundtrack etc, instantly transport me back to my adolescence. Ant Music and Stand and Deliver by Adam and the Ants take me back to my first year of high school and sparked my first real interest in pop/rock...

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    I just found out that two of my elementary school through to high school friends passed away recently - 50 years old. One, Paul Simpson, I'd kept in contact with by phone, as he'd moved about 8 hours north of Sydney halfway through 8th grade, back in 1982. He had diabetes. I hadn't spoken to him...

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    One of the annoying corporate phrases that has become a plague here, leaking out into everyday speech, is "going forward". It drives me nuts hearing it. People don't say, "Next, we'll do this . . . " or "in future . . ." Instead, it's "Going forward . . . "

    Vintage Suiting Fabric

    In sourcing heavier weight fabrics for my suits, I haven't come across anything coarse, but there are quite a few places online you can find suiting cloth with some good vintage-style heft to it.
