    Footwear to go with our jackets

    @Marc mndt Those button boots are something else again. So rare to see these true to the original style, without a side-zip. Glorious.

    Morning Dress for Church?

    @Fifty150 Quite. I'll leave it up to you to discern which of them I think most needs to read that book you recommend. ;)

    @X83 Very nice. I agree, it gives the jacket a totally different vibe - less Johnny Ramone, more Johnny Thunders. I know this isn't a Schott (whatever it is, it appears to be a ladies' model, probably a hangover from Dolls days), but this is the image that always comes to mind for with with...

    Yes, to be entirely fair to him, they must have been a nightmare to get anywhere, between Marky and DeeDee's various substance issues at one time and another, and Joey's (lone time undiagnosed) OCD.... And his instincts were invariably good, I think, for the band - not least his creation of...

    fit check schott 118

    I always just assumed it was a chain.... interesting thing (and not entirely out of keeping with "The Fuhrer"'s reputation for how he bossed the band, ha....). Would probably get me lifted by plod if I sported one of those round here!

    You know you are getting old when:

    Yeah, that would be my issue with too fixed of a holiday home at any distance - I'd hate to spend all my holidays in the same place. A bolthole in Rye would be just close enough we would actually use it regularly, but yeah, its' definitely a thing.

    Yes - I have a half-remembered notion there's only the one shoot with Tommy in a cross-zip, falling after Rocket, and before he quit the band to produce full time - which wasn't long after that, if memory serves.

    My wife and I holidays at a caravan site on the Isle of Wight last year. We stayed in a cabin-chalet thing that was a step closer a permanent building, but there were some wonderful creations there that were all basically static caravans - 'trailers' as would be in the US - that were large and...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    More of an occasional wearer, but I've just put in my order on the annual open-run of official Sons of the Desert fezzes from Fez-o-Rama. I've had my 'standard' red one for a number of years now; when this order comes through it will be joined by the 'scree-accurate' monochrome model: I have...

    Guitars

    Yeah - Johnny Ramone bought his first one in Manny's NYC for fifty dollars in 1974 (granted, used, but all the same..); that's about $300 in today's money. A fraction of what and original (and most of the copies) go for now.

    Well, there is that - though if hobbies were logical I doubt we'd have them. ;) If ever I had the space, I'd love to have a couple of tube carriages tucked in the garden, rearranged like a sun room.... Alternatively, I've long had a fantastical notion for having the shell of an Airbus A380...

    Yes - I think too that shot also often gets confused with the Rocket To Russia cover, which probably further muddies the waters.

    Guitars

    Picked up my first new guitar since 2006 very recently. A Harley Benton MR Classic: Harley Benton is a budget brand designed by the people behind German online guitar retail behemoth Thomann.de. They keep prices rock bottom by dealing direct with the factory, and selling them through their...

    Pants you wear with your leather jackets

    Not quite the same cut (yours look like they would sit on the natural waist, rather than a gravity-defying six inches south of it....), but these rather remind me of Jim Morrison.... Everybody thinks of him in black leather because most of the photos were B&W, but my understanding has been that...

    Yip. Not cheap, but they are around. I've encountered some purists who would sneer at them, but as time goes on, it's often that or lose these old chariots entirely.... Interesting how trends go in the car thing. Thirty years ago, changing the engine in anything much pre-1970 was seen as...

    Aha! Yes, I gather they changed the patterns here and thereover time while keeping the same style numbers (like Levi's with 501s). I think with the Ramone thing, a lot of people's reference are those early photos, from before Joey could find/ afford a jacket that fit quite right. It's...

    I've always found an appreciable irony in how many sports-car guys spend a fortune on something with serious performance.... and then they spend more time than not sitting around in carparks with it on display, checking out other such cars.... must surely come a point where they realise a nice...

    Does anyone know what this leather jacket is?

    Ouch! I was right! That makes the inflated UK prices for a new Schott look nowhere near as bad!

    fit check schott 118

    I agree, it's a good fit if you want to wear it as is. I think too many folks make the mistake of trying to get their jacket in the Ramone fit, and then hugely limit its wear potential as only a t-shirt will fit under it. Too much for warm days, no room for layering when cold... I have a...

    There we are! I don't see a price on the website, which doubtless means.... ;)
