    What Song Would You Like Played At Your Funeral.

    I think the final scene of Dr Strangelove with We'll Meet Again sung to a montage of H bombs exploding has got to be one of the greatest ever film endings.

    What Song Would You Like Played At Your Funeral.

    Some of those old standards really can hit the spot. For All We Know is one of my favourites. " ...for all we know life may only be a dream; we come and go like the ripples on a stream..."

    What Song Would You Like Played At Your Funeral.

    Smoke Gets In Your Eyes. The Platters version If I'm going to be cremated; and if I'm to be buried then maybe Wake Me Up before You Go Go. I went to a funeral a year ago of someone who was really into pre electric jazz, and he had some very nice syncopation going. We were really tapping our...

    Alexander Leathers

    You had one of those too. I bought a very good Roadster from them but this Memphis was a dog. Contary to what they told me it was not a easy fit civilian A2 like an Aero fifties flight jacket which it looks like, but a sort of A2 cut with hand warmers and high small arm holes like an A2. It was...

    My new "Alexander leathers" Dakota in Black Goat

    I bought one in black goat a little while ago and it is a very nice hide and the jacket's a good fit in a HWM style. I bought another later in a different hide which was neither. But there you go. BTW VAT is payable within the EU and the last time I looked Scotland was still in the EU. So not...

    Does that include overheads? It depends on the kind of leather too I would expect.

    Dating a Dunn & Co Bowler

    Hello and welcome to the site from me. Can't help with the hat I'm afraid. I can't even remember when they went under but it was a few years ago now. I did buy a couple of hats and caps from them at one time. The last a nice Donegal tweed number which I still have and was bought some time in the...

    My recent experience with Alexander Leathers...

    These sale jackets are being made to generate cash flow. I'd take the label business with a large pinch of salt. When I spoke to them on the phone I asked if there would be anymore at this price. Or were they simply being sold cheap to generate cash flow and when they're gone that's it. The...

    My recent experience with Alexander Leathers...

    tonypaj. I had a dog that hated going out in the rain once. Bit of a disadvantage where I live since the winter is usually mild and wet, cold and wet, or just wet. A swift sidefoot up the arse with a wellie did the trick.

    My recent experience with Alexander Leathers...

    I see HD has quoted the OP's post Plumb. I think I was simply addressing his point about unanswered emails and long waiting times. Problems that seem to have put him off Aero and which came about for obvious reasons; and which AL don't have. Actually I have been an AL customer. At the sale...

    My recent experience with Alexander Leathers...

    They may be getting a bit busier at AL but I don't think it compares to what Aero has had to deal with. I'm not sure if it's really understood by some just what a mess they were left in; and it's hardly surprising that emails were taking a long time to get answered then. Waiting times shot up...

    Boyo joins the club.. New Aero 30's Half Belt

    I thought Holly came on here a couple of weeks ago and wrote that of course they will put cord hems on if requested. Even though her father doesn't think that they're needed apart from on HWM and suchlike where the hem can rub against belt loops.

    Aero 1930's Half Belt sizing help please?

    A lot of people who sell on eBay don't know how to measure. A common mistake is when they just measure the front panels and ignore the side gussets.

    There's one very like that on the Aero sales page.

    Aero Pre-Production Sample Jackets

    A couple of decades ago in the US some people started a good news paper which would only print good news. It lasted two editions and folded, and it didn't even announce its own demise before it went because that would have been bad news. That's true BTW.

    Aero Pre-Production Sample Jackets

    Bill Bonkers killed Mavis, that's what's bleedin obvious. Oh, and some bloke up in Hawick had a hundred and forty grands worth of hooky jackets and denim in his attic.

    Aero Pre-Production Sample Jackets

    I'd like to see him try to sue me. Apart from living on state benefits and not having the means, Bill Bonkers is a drunk, a liar, and a thief. The dogs in the street know he did Mavis in.

    Didn't they mostly wear Gaberdine as invented by Burberry?

    Aero Pre-Production Sample Jackets

    But I wasn't asking who lived at the house as that would clearly be sub judice. I was merely wondering if anyone who had been connected with the running of Aero Leathers lived in Hawick. As a statement of fact, and as I said in my post without any reference to this case. I would not have thought...
