    Footwear to go with our jackets

    According to the googles, they off-shored production from the US sometime after the 90s; best as I can make out they disappeared some time between 2012 and 2024. I find the lack of the rubber toecap on this sort of design does help breathability - Most days from June to mid September...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Are Acme still around? Meatloaf's Eddie boots from RHPS were a very distinctive design that I believe to be an ACME.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    That time of year, innit? I've switched over from boots to loafers kicking around this last week. Last couple of Summers I've had to give in around May / June and wear plimsols much of the time owing to the heat. Picked up a few pairs of the old school Vans (forget the model name, but the ones...

    This reminds me a lot of the one David Tennant wore during his first run as Doctor Who! Would look great with a darker brown db suit, or earthtoned tweeds...

    Johnny Depp Fedora

    Nice hats. Mirror shots, or is your left your shooting eye? ;)

    Aces High multi panel flying jacket.

    There's certainly still a market for these.... I'm sure some folks here will be best placed to give you a better idea on price. Via the likes of eBay you'll suffer a little for the name not being as well known as Aero or ELC, though in a collectors' circle as perf this sort of place that won't...

    Show Us Your OVERCOATS

    Looks like a great pattern. I love the length especially - great flare as you walk along when worn open, and really keeps the warm air in when worn closed. Just have to be careful with stairs. Specifically, I've found mine's fine going down stairs, but going up you have to be careful not to...

    Show Us Your OVERCOATS

    Of the lot this is my favourite. I wonder how old it was at that point - looks like a late 40s / early 50s design; certainly conceivable he could have bought it new then and still been wearing it in the 80s if it was something for 'occasional wear' rather than worn hard all Winter for a number...

    Show Us Your OVERCOATS

    The 'Sport' prefix would certainly suggest practical outdoorsy usage... perhaps for the groundsman / gamekeeper / anyone with a need for extra pockets for dog-biscuits and shotgun shells while outside for long periods? hunting is, of course, much more practical and comes without the...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    you'll probably want to avoid Scoop on Netflix, then! ;) Though it's actually a very good representation of the reality of the contemporary broadcast newsroom and how an event-interview like that can come about.

    Interesting look - I've never seen one like it before. I wonder was it a special order, or just an unusual OTR? From a practical pov, I could see it making sense for a man who spent a lot of time out of doors in very cold weather, and wanted access to certain things (wallet, keys, notebook...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Scott definitely is wide-ranging, I'm not a fan of all of his stuff by any means. Re TEM, I mean Lynch went to some effort to root it in the style of an earlier type of cinematography, which is what they've done with Ripley. I see echoes of Hitchcock, bits of classic European cinema of that...

    Minimalist Wardrobe

    Something along those lines, yes. It goes back to an oft-told story about Einstein, later in his life, supposedly wearing the same outfit every day in order to save time and brain capacity for his work. I've never been entirely convinced that that story was wholly true, but it is popularly...

    [Scammer Alert] "Red Tornado" outerwear on Ali Express

    If you bought in Aliexpress, it's worth trying their resolution centre. I have only picked up one or two little things on there which were of no great consequence; I wouldn't risk big money on the platform at that sort of distance. Less fear of getting ripped off, more the hassle / near...

    do you have names for meals? like a Nickname for special dishes?

    Marlowe Towers has recently seen the arrival of a dish dubbed 'Mimi Memorial Chimkens'. Our late Mimi Dog, who died in February this year, was very fond of 'chimkens' (chicken). When she died very suddenly, there was still a new and unopened packet of fresh chicken pieces in the fridge that had...

    Civilian Conservation Corps Clothing Reference Site

    Interesting website, thanks for posting. On a whim this time last year, I picked up a couple of Bronson A3 caps and a denim Daisy Mae. Wasn't sure what wear I'd get out of them - but quite a lot, it turns out. The Daisy mae surprisingly so - an excellent alternative to a straw fedora for a more...

    Akubra questions

    Oh for a Federation in Lagoon blue!!! FWIW... about a decade ago I rather rashly wore an Akubra Rap (their porkpie) to a Pogues gig. It got knocked off and pogoed on before I could retrieve it (these things happen in a heaving crowd). Looked like it had been driven over. Fifteen minutes with...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Dialects evolve, I suppose.... though I'm sure it's been accelerated, at least in the Anglosphere, by an increasingly homogenised entertainment world over time. It's widely reported here in the UK (both simply as a phenomenon, and with added handwringing in certain outlets) that so many kids in...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I quite enjoyed Scott's go on that for its very unconventional approach, tbh. That it played with the notion of Moses questioning whether he was communing with the divine or going mad was interesting - rather a modernist take, of course, though that's what appeals to me about these things...

    Where to go for specific leather jacket?

    Never tried their leathers. I've only bought a few ties from them - though extremely pleased with the quality of those. In the early days when Magnoli's main focus was vintage repro (they've broadened the range into cosplay now, which makes commercial sense), they were quite widely used on here...
