    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Ten Pound Poms on BBC iPlayer. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt20318226/ This one skipped my notice in 2023, but was flagged with a second series this year. A British-Australian co-production, it follows a family from Manchester, among others, who take up the assisted migration scheme to start a...

    Advice on Barmah hat sizing?

    Thanks - yes, it seems sizing up in these definitely helps.

    Would you alter a really good leather jacket to fit your size

    I don't think it's likely to be viable - and there's the very real danger that once so altered, it would be difficult to sell if that didn't met expectations. I'd probably be happier with a jacket a size larger than my usual than take the risk, tbh.

    Advice on Barmah hat sizing?

    Sizing issues aside, are Barmahs worth the extra? I can find a few brands selling hats of this styled in the UK, most of them about half the price of the Barmah. Is the Barmah product appreciably better in quality than others? (Also... is Roo worth the upcharge over other leathers?) Thinking...

    Lost Worlds Leather Pea / Shearling Collar

    I always fancied something along those lines for that Manfred von Richthofen vibe. Only think to think about is when you want to wear it. I once had both an Aero A2 and Aero AN6552 in the same goathide. The USN jacket was surprisingly warmer, which I believe to have been a result of the...

    Where has everyone gone to ?

    I don't know exactly how it works myself - I've never been involved in that end of the place. All I know is we carry advertising that helps keeps the lights on, but I don't know whether the money that comes in from it goes to our end or the platform provider (who then in turn provide the...

    FS: CLINCH Mast Trainer Brown Ivory

    Sadly not my size, but curious - are those actually resoleable? Construction looks like it might be possible.

    USAF N-3B parkas - Let's talk about them!!

    The one on the left of the picture above doesn't look as nice a coat as the Alpha on the right. The green alpha uses these days definitely has a more grass-green hue to it than the actual military colour of old, which had a more muted and greyer-cast to it. Not east to find now (I've had no luck...

    I cannot find white tie waistcoat. What to do?

    I've always been very pleased with the bits I've had from Darcy in the past - never bought one of these, though. I've also been pleased with Clermont Direct https://www.clermontdirect.com/cotton-white-marcella-waistcoat-p-132.html - the caveat being CD's version of this I usually find going a...

    Button suggestions for dark blue seersucker?

    I'd definitely look for something lighter than the suit itself. Cream I'd be wary of unless it's very much on the white end of things; an earthtone would look odd against the black in this imo.

    Suggestions for rain hat for travel

    I'm sure they are very practical. They do have their own aesthetic, I can give them that. It's not to my tastes, but.... I mean, I suppose if people buy one then at least they're getting used to buying a hat and might pick up something nicer later on....

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I suspect there's an element of seoarating out the U and non-U to this, by design.

    French Moto cuir Jackets

    Not a brand I know much about. I've seen them selling in the UK, though - typically fairly cheaply. These are a general style that were ubiquitous among UK riders from about 1978 towards the back end of the 80s, a later design period than piques my interest, though I see them on sale a lot more...

    Can someone please explain to me why I have to start all over every time I try to log in?

    Sounds like it could be a cookie issue; it's easy to miss the box to tick to stay logged in. Maybe worth trying another browser? I've found recently some sites play up with certain browsers.

    Unexpected Awesome Find

    This gives me strong Magnificent Seven vibes - were it black, it'd be very close to the hat Yul Brynner wore in that.

    Unexpected Awesome Find

    Excellent score! I would 101% rebash that badboy into a Fedora style, (though bias declared - I don't think a cattleman crease looks quite right on me, so it's not one I'd personally consider anyhow). Enjoy it, however you shape it.

    Leather jacket, unknown age

    Not a brand I know. The label looks very 80s to me; my best guess would be mid 80s - early 90s. As best as I can tell from the auction photos, it looks to be a fairly classic style that could be dressed older, though.

    Good colour band for a Stetson trilby

    Black would work - hat the hat been a more neutral colour I'd not have favoured it (limits what it goes with - but I don't like mixing blacks with earthtones and such, YMMV), but given that shade of grey I don't think that's an issue.

    Suggestions for rain hat for travel

    Christys do something similar as well - the Foldaway - https://www.christys-hats.com/products/foldaway £160, not especially cheap. I believe they do a wool version at £100 as well, though not sure it would hold out against the rain so well over time. Be interesting to see these tested over the...
