    What's your opinions on cuff cinches?

    I really like them as a detail. Not on every jacket, but nice to have something different here and there. Wouldn't wear one on a chicken run, though.... I've used them in anger on a trench coat and a wax cotton International, though yeah, they can look odd if cinched in on leather. I...

    London Fog Ex-Long Trench Coat

    With care and patience, you can land deals like this on eBay if you know what to look for. I've bought a few trenchcoats over the years; paid about £80 once for a Burberry - that took a lot of searching. I also owned a Grenfell that was every bit (at least) the equal of the Burberry. The...

    DYE N1 Deck Jacket

    @CatsCan - really interesting to see this, thanks for going to the effort to do the photos. It's true a lot of these repros do go for a lighter colour than would have originally been issued. I suspect this comes down to much of the market being guys who have seen originals as they are now and...

    Bandanas? (no politics, please)

    Thanks for that, btw - I have a red one on order from them now. They have a lot of very nice looking stuff in the clothing side, though alas I think I'm a 3xl or 4xl in their scale, and most of their stuff seems to be up to XXL in their scale. Some nice stuff in canvas and leather combined from...

    Bandanas? (no politics, please)

    Ah! I didn't think to go looking on there - might well do. I've never used Aliexpress for anything 'big', but it's been really good for little bits and pieces I've found. The one seller who did give me problems, the dispute resolution system was very effective.

    The best PTSD-movies?

    Bickle is fascinating. I'm still intrigued by the notion that he's a fantasist rather than a former army man, though either way he's definitely got some sort of shellshock going on - even if it is "only" from too long seeing the worst of humanity in the urban jungle.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I'm still holding out for Deadpool 2 on the streamers.... Unfortunately there's a lot of stuff from 2019 onwards that still languishes in Bezos' "Pay us more!" category....

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Wesco do - the MP shape, I think they call it. It seems to be a common option in the more expensive stuff (and espcially across a lot of the Japanese brands) as well. I still live in hope Aero eventually do their own take on an EB. If they did something akin to that shape around the price of...

    Athletic sweatshirt?

    I have two from Sainsbury's TU Clothing line, I must try and dig out photos. One grey, one grey with raglan sleeves in black. The latter I wish I'd bought in a smaller size, though it's by no means unwearably big (both are XXL, but Tu's sizing can change it up a bit year on year owing to...

    New vs. Second-hand

    You'll never get the full second hand market value for a jacket on a trade in - nor would it be reasonable to expect to. As with second hand cars, the company taking the trade in is doing so in order to resell it themselves, and thereby make a bit of money on top of covering their costs (which...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Recently watched a 2017 made for television three-parter of Decline and Fall, based on the Evelyn Waugh novel of the same name. Never read the book so can't comment on how closely it reflects that, but it is tremendous fun, and the wardrobe is glorious. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5789958/...

    Where can I buy high waist pants/trousers?

    Much depends where you are and on budget.... There are a lot of repro places online. Aero's 30s trousers are fantastic; Cathcart London I am also well pleased with. At the more budget end of the market (and depending on how wide you want....) I've been very pleased with some trousers from...

    Bandanas? (no politics, please)

    My latest bandana arrived at the office yesterday. This one I bought actually more for the leather scarf-ring, as it works out much cheaper than most I've seen on Etsy (especially by the time the shipping is included). Very nicely packaged and presented: The brand is 'Red Tornado' . I had...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Definitely. There's a lot of stuff I once would not have worn that has really grown on me over time.

    You know you are getting old when:

    That's Leigh Bowery's 'no-make-up' selfie - :p Research has been done that indicates memory retention is getting worse among people who never commit anything to memory because they can just look it up. I suspect this is where being the sort of hobbyist who obsesses over details of...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    You know what, reading your description I expected to hate these, but as I scrolled down I was pleasantly surprised. They look just like a regular engineer boot with an interesting design on the toe (would pair nicely with an Aero Sunburst!). I like the idea of a duckboot from pov of warm and...

    Biker jacket

    Indeed. 74 has always been acknowledged as the start date. Those cross-zips must have been acquired later in 76 too - as memory serves, the first album was released in April that year, and the cover shot came from a shoot they did with Roberta Bayley for Punk magazine in February 76. Famously in...

    What are you wearing today??

    I love these. The DB cut is a nice touch, too - don't see many of those around in these sort of bold stripes.

    unwearable jacket, ideas please?

    @Hide'n'seek is Denny Calder of Aero.

    New Schott 118 - Leather Dye Transfer Issue

    I've experienced that with a few jackets over the years - usually while newer, never anything that didn't wash out easily.
