The ball park is here __ and that jacket is ........................................................................... here, somewhere on the far side of freakin' Timbuktu: __ , as in you hit the damn thing right out of it when you made that purchase. "Smells awesome" heh! Spoken like a true...
Awesome man! Ya know they ought to make a bunch of jokes about LW jackets similar to Chuck Norris jokes. Like, Chuck Norris is so tough, he sheds his skin twice a year, and each time a new LW jacket appears from under the old layer. Or, time waits for no man, unless you're wearing a LW jacket...
Extremely informative & interesting posts from Winthorpe & Big J.
Personally I love looking at the Japanese repro goods though I can't afford most of them with the devalued AUD. I do have two pairs of Sugar Cane 30s-style work trousers & quality wise their great. But so are my SJC trousers...

So I was perusing the Schott site just for the fun of it, like window shopping only online, and I saw a couple of jackets that I thought looked cool. Of course I had to share my thoughts with my fellow enthusiasts here, 'cause only you guys understand.
The first is called an Express jacket...
Tony I know guys who'd give their right arms to look as good as you do in that E. Of course, if they did, then they still wouldn't look that good because they'd have one limp sleeve hanging down, but you know what I mean!
Thanks for posting mate!
I grew up next door to Scots from Edinburgh and two of my closest friends over the years have been Scots, one whose family emigrated from Glasgow and the other from Aberdeen. Oh, and my wife's ancestry is clan Gunn, highlanders. The accent ( or accents, given regional...
