    The Great Beer Thread

    I'm a Scotsman living in Australia so finding good beer (to my tastes) is pretty difficult as I'm very much a cask ale drinker. Most beers here are lager types although there are a few boutique (such a wanky term for beer) breweries which make a better drink but to me they all have the same...

    Advice on a Zenith 18K gold cushion faced watch (circa 1919).

    Thanks for the response Shangas. Sorry about my original post, it was made on the Ballarat train ans was a bit clumsy. The $740 was for the repairs alone. I think he was quoting $350 to clean the movement and the rest was for the hole in the case. Apparently the hole an only be repaired by...

    Whiskey

    Wise words on the Glenlivet BL although the only thing I would mix JW red with is paint brushes, I'm not a big fan. If you get the chance, try a Glenmorangie Cellar 13 which I think you can only buy in Tain (the distillery), its outstanding. It has a fresh salty note to my palate. Apparently...

    Advice on a Zenith 18K gold cushion faced watch (circa 1919).

    Hi all, I've been left a Zenith Cushion Face watch Circa 1919. Its in great condition with a blemish free face and the original glass and case (the case is 18k gold). The only flaw is a cheap strap and a small pinhole in the gold case. I took it to a horologist (?) in Melbourne Australia who...

    Decission made on a Schotts 660 Cafe Racer

    Hi Seb, The 660 has a 28 inch back on it. On the website they make a bit of a thing of mentioning the length of is and that was what attracted me. Like I said earlier in the thread, a mate has a Cafe Racer of similar dimentions and this includes a 28 inch back. this sits just above my jean...

    Decission made on a Schotts 660 Cafe Racer

    Here's hoping jksu. Schotts seem to have a bit of a reputation for short armed jackets and this has been the main cause of me holding off buying one but having measured myself numerous times hand having the measurements checked by my wife (a keen clothes makes) so I am fairy sure it will fit...

    Decission made on a Schotts 660 Cafe Racer

    No HD but Jerri from Schotts Cust service sent me the dimentions for the jacket and the 26.12 sleeve length is just right for me. A mate of mine has a cafe racer jacket (not Schotts) which has the same sleeve length and cross shoulder measurement and it fitted me perfectly so I'm hoping it will...

    Thanks for the responses lads I used to wear a beret in a past life and we used to wet them and mould them to the desired shape. Is it wise to do the same with the newsboys? Flashy

    Schott's 660 Cafe Racer & Schott's 662 Cow hide fitted jacket sizes

    HD - Thanks for the advice re Schotts and the varing quality of their jackets. Im sure its a probably a good thing that the best quality is in their jackets designed for use on a bike rather than for us biker wannabe's. I've also had a look at the lost world jackets but they seem to have a...

    Hi HD, thanks for the response. Yep,I'm aware that they are not designed for riding and I'm happy with that as I will never own a motorcycle. I dont know a vast amount about Schotts, Are their products good quality? I'm a wee bit concerned that the 662 back is not displayed on the website...

    Hi Adnamira, Would you know of anywhere in Oz that sells good quality Newsboys? I,ve ordered a couple from HP (after watching your review) but I am always keen to either buy Australian or Scottish (I'm a Scot living in Victoria) products when I can and if the quality is good. Regards Flashy
