    Has anybody seen ____ around Lately?

    I think that Covid-depression has done for a lot of us. I'm lucky in that I am in Shanghai and we're relatively free of new infections but we ain't leaving the borders or seeing our families anytime soon. I want to talk about and buy jackets, but, as the man says, 'Oh, how slow the moments go'.

    JanSolo had the best goathide Aero. The coat that told all the other coats where to sit down.

    Chinese leather jackets

    I've lived in the Mainland or HK for almost 15 years, and you can find quality and workmanship that equals anything produced anywhere - it just depends on what you are willing to pay and how many Chinese friends in the know you have. Most things here are yearly or seasonal - clothing is quickly...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    'Cracker' was excellent, as was 'Prime Suspect'. Currently watching an Israeli series called 'Blackspace'. Good so far.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Has to be said that temperature extremes mean that the jackets get a battering before winter, definitely during and for about a month after.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I take two or three Aero jackets with me (usually two) when I am overseas on contract; when I go back to the UK (once a year; sometimes two) I rotate them. This means that a pair of jackets will get six months' continual wear (seasons, etc.). I'm lucky in that I only own six Aeros with a...

    Bad idea?

    I reckon that chopping it will result in short-term nostalgia and remorse immediately. It's a fantastic thing at the moment.

    Bad idea?

    I wouldn't change it. The longer length looks better, to me.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    @ton that 'Wayfarer' original is the dog's bollocks. Fantastic.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Getting a Pike Bros. deck jacket with the grey collar. I really like it and have no idea why I haven't ordered one sooner.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I re-watched 'The Leftovers' and am still struck by how good it as a meditation on grief. I also enjoyed both seasons of 'Black Summer' and am interested by the latter's knowing nods to zombie/stealth video games as well as the subversion of 'The Walking Dead's' sometime optimism.

    Leather Surgery Q

    I've not had any trouble with jackets in Shanghai/Hong Kong at all. I treat jackets with Renapur about every half a year and keep them in a cupboard with some dehumidifier gel boxes. I sometimes air them for a day in a spare room with the aircon turned on.

    Leather U Boat Jackets

    I second the Aero Mariner. I got mine in dark seal Vicenza and it's a serious beastie. I preferred the Vicenza as it's slightly lighter (and more like goat) than heavier horsehides while still being really tough.

    Aero cafe racer in tan steerhide. I'll have to wait until I can fly back to the UK to get it :(.

    Questions about Thedi

    Sure, I'll post some. It's a great pattern and a really good go-to jacket, not too long or short.
