    Peaky Blinders suit

    There's an awful lot of stuff our there claiming to be Peaky style, but with messed-with proportions to suit modern tastes, the result being that it doesn't look remotely accurate.... I'd go looking for somewhere that makes suits in a c.1919 style, more likely to get something decent. History...

    Explaining the Aero Fit.

    That blue-black goathide was something I've never seen elsewhere, or on any other run of jackets. I'd love to see the goat Aero have now in that sort of finish again - like a teacore effect, but going blue rather than brown. I really like it.

    Indiana Jones V

    My wife likes to lull herself to sleep with a show called Ancient Aliens. It's basically an entire show built around the premise that ancient peoples couldn't possibly have done anything of note, therefore it was aliens. Where it gets really funny is when they bend over backwards to disprove the...

    Aero Unfinished Horse Hide 557XX Type III Break-In

    Yes, good point, in terms of wearing it out in the sun, a Shackleton might be the thing...

    What are you listening to?

    Edging into a more modern period, The New Piccadillys (I hope they put out an album I can track down, still looking...) are a recent discovery. Their musical stylings come from the Beatles if they'd stuck with rock and roll, while fast-forwarding to the later sixties and seventies for material...

    What are you listening to?

    Currently listening to Johnny Cash in the background while I get on with some marking ahead of the final week of term (the powers that be at the university for which I work clearly don't care about observing an Easter Holiday - though I do get the two statutory bank holidays - so our term rolls...

    Celebrities jackets

    Whether it's ELC or not (definitely a possibility with their popularity in Japan - I believe he spends a lot of time in Tokyo), the GE nod will certainly be very deliberate from someone so steeped in a love of cinematic pop culture. I wouldn't be surprised if this photo was a very carefully...

    Aero Unfinished Horse Hide 557XX Type III Break-In

    This is a hide I really must get a jacket in at some point, I love the idea of watching it change over time. Been through this with a wallet, but never a jacket....

    Hypothetical: Leather Jacket Meets Alien Invasion

    Thread Moved to the Observation Bar, which is really the correct place for it. Interesting premise. Personally, I'd go for either an Aero Seabiscuit, or possibly a Hoochhauler, in goathide. Either seal or black, depending on what else it was paired with. Classy, dresses up or down, lacks the...

    Indiana Jones V

    Reminded me of the jump from the plane on Temple, if somewhat more realistic....

    Indiana Jones V

    That would make sense as a motivation for retirement; be interesting to see if there's a plotline where she has direct involvement, or if she's more of a cameo player. I like how they're developing PB-W's character. I certainly wouldn't object to seeing more of her in a spin-off. It's...

    Indiana Jones V

    Ha.... I'm using the bank holiday to catch up on some marking, but I think this evening I'll make a point of pulling it up on Youtube on the big TV.... The last couple I've watched over and over. This has a few new clips, including incorporating the retirement thing. I wonder what the deal...

    Indiana Jones V

    (Interesting to note the line about 'you've made mistakes' and recovered.... I wonder if that's an in-joke at the expense of the backlash against Crystal Skull? )

    Indiana Jones V

    This is the first trailer I've seen that gives a sense of plot. It looks superb. I'm still hoping they don't dabble in *actual* time travel, but thus far this looks really solid to me.

    Explaining the Aero Fit.

    I like there to be both, ideally! :)

    Explaining the Aero Fit.

    It's one of the nicer straight-zip styles I've seen from Schott. I actually prefer it when a back seam has a lower panel like that rather than extending to the hem. Gives it a bit more of a 'finished' look in my eye.

    Explaining the Aero Fit.

    That Speedway looks great. Chest pockets on these jackets are small. When I had my Dustbowl made back in 2014, I had a Speedway-style plain front with zip pocket put on the front. It's fine for my mp3 player or something similar, but I did make sure to have an inner pocket included in the spec...

    Good Harrington or Barracuda Jacket..

    I remember the Simons story. Last time I was in the store in Covent Garden, years ago before it moved, they'd switched to selling the Grenfell version (which fifteen years ago was nearly £300..... eeps). It's interesting where different folks draw the line.... I'm indifferent on the open back...

    Good Harrington or Barracuda Jacket..

    I've always been very happy with my Merc jackets - though of course the lack of a raglan sleeve is a dealbreaker for some. I will probably try a Real Hoxton next, though. The interesting thing especially there is they're the only affordable option I think I can recall seeing that has the...

    Aero leather choices/options (End of 2022)

    Depends on the style for me. I like a bit of sheen on a bike jacket, and something more subdued for a halfbelt.
