    Is Simmons Bilt still open?

    Phone them. As far as I know, they're still operating.

    I like that sentiment. I also like the jacket, but the sentiment just about trumps it :)

    Button placement on cuffs

    It's just much easier to alter suit arms that don't have actual buttonholes and buttons.

    Over 50 wearing leather jackets

    I've worked with some people who were fairly direct, and of the stated view that leather jackets were for young women and that anybody else looked like a fool wearing one.

    Yup. 'The Killing Kind' has him as a Hackney enforcer with confusions. He's been in quite a number of good things, and yes, he gets 'evil Eastern gangster' roles a lot.

    See Andrew Howard, above. And for what I reckon is his best performance, 'The Killing Kind' (or 'Mr. Inbetween', as it was titled outside the UK). He's been in some odd gems. Get older, stay in shape.

    You can get away with leather and a feather boa if you have the right posture, haircut and demeanour: Haha/

    Over 50 wearing leather jackets

    I think that you should wear whatever you like unless you're going to get fired for it. Don't worry too much about what other people might be thinking in any context apart from work unless they're about to give you a kicking. Most people think about themselves a lot of the time and put...

    Aero labels

    This one's on my 50s HB in goat. Aero's goat hide is really great stuff. If I had to pick an all-purpose leather (not too heavy, could be dressed up or down, excellent drape, exceptionally durable), this would be it. It also seems to be a pretty much flawless hide - most of my other Aeros...

    Bad experience with Lost Worlds

    That's confused word order perhaps due to a deletion- presumably would have meant 'short of them offering a refund plus paid shipping back, I am done.'

    Bad experience with Lost Worlds

    I really like the LW Peacoat (someone had one on here ages ago with a purple lining- amazing jacket), but that was the only design that stood out to me. I don't think it's a matter of LW being 'due' a kicking, and I am not entirely sure that people should ignore the websites, etc., and only...

    Bad experience with Lost Worlds

    It's because you're all blog queens. This wouldn't have happened if you were real men. Made of tougher stuff. Built to persevere against the tide. Knowing your own minds. Not featherweight poseurs with your biscotti, strolling along the Rialto like so many reproductions (dare we say...

    Brooks, oxidation of the collar buttons, how I can solve?

    Don't 'chemical' it - use a qtip, a nail brush and bicarbonate of soda with a bit of white vinegar to shift it. Usually, you can use dental floss to get underneath the eyelet/rivet. It doesn't harm the brass or the leather unless left for a very long time. Not a cause for over-worrying. Do...

    do your raw jeans kill your briefs boxers prematurely

    I can't imagine anything much thicker than Pike Bros denim or Carhartts - particularly not in very high humidity. The dampness and material rubbing against itself would be pretty bad for the garment and would pill the cotton on anything else really quickly. I'd either want quite light jeans or...

    Mate, they didn't have my size.

    do your raw jeans kill your briefs boxers prematurely

    These won't get holes in them - probably, even if some low-down banger tries to disable you with a crotch-shot, you'll be fine.

    do your raw jeans kill your briefs boxers prematurely

    Go commando. Dye your tackle indigo in six-month increments. Perhaps, on a serious note, you could invest in thicker shorts.

    How do you know when a leather collar is about to crack?

    I find that you can't get them to inhale initially.

    How do you know when a leather collar is about to crack?

    We've all just got to accept the inevitable imperfections and not.. let... them... occupy... the... waking... moments.
