    The Lords hat

    I do like a vent pattern like that on a felt hat. Not something you see at all often now, but really ideal for those 'in between felt and straw' days when straw isn't enough but felt is just too hot...

    Aero Highwayman: Hide Check

    Whatever version it is, if it's all intact with no damage / holes / excessive wear, USD300 seems a pretty good price against what they're going for on eBay now.

    Aero Highwayman: Hide Check

    Not by sight.... if there's still a tag in one of the pockets with the date of manufacture on it that might help - it's a very long time since Connolly was available, so after a certain date it won't be. CXL is not the only steerhide available now, of course - there's also a midweight steer...

    It's about time for a vest thread

    I'd assumed there would be - that seems reasonable. Jerky sounds like a good option; I've been considering goat too.

    It's about time for a vest thread

    The Aero looks great - which hide is that? I am working towards getting myself a couple of Shackletons, but I definitely want them with a leather back and not wool. (Truth be told, for most tings I try to avoid wool where it's possible, having had one too many things destroyed by moths over the...

    General myths and "urban legends" on product quality

    It'll find its own, new equilibrium of course. The real upside of ecommerce, imo, is that it allows for specialist businesses that otherwise as bricks and mortar affairs wouldn't have the reach to survive on physical custom alone, but online with access to a global market...

    ꓷ - Pocket double rider anyone?

    @Hidenseek - Mandarin is right here. As a spouthpaw myself, I've also given this some thought, and dismissed it for this reason. Course, I also don't use the pockets on the front of a bike jacket - for me they're just for decoration mostly. If you want a D pocket that is more accessible to the...

    Celebrities jackets

    Great jacket. I had a cafe racer for a bit years ago. Bought it around 2005 for wearing in to the office (bit more subtle than a Perfecto style....). Never bonded with it, just didn't work with a collared shirt for me. Last couple of years, though, I've had a few t-shirts that *aren't*...

    Opinions on the fit of these leather pants?

    Different strokes, I guess: the waistband on those is so low I'd be desperately uncomfortable in them, aside from hating how low waists look. :)

    Opinions on the fit of these leather pants?

    Given Vanson designed these to be actual motorcycle PPE, I would expect the waistband being on the actual waist rather than several inches south of it is very much deliberate.

    Bright Shoemakers review

    Great review. Interesting comments on the sizing. I've been keeping an eye on these guys for a bit; in a year or two, I might take the wife to Copenhagen for a long weekend and work in a trip to try on a pair of these... Nice to see something of this quality and style being done at this side of...

    Celebrities jackets

    I like the "World's Series" for baseball. Cause, y'know.... it has a Canadian team as well, right? ;)

    Celebrities jackets

    It's pretty standard in all sports commentary here - especially wrt England. The one that always cracked me up, though, is how everyone non-English in sport is "British" to the English commentators - until they lose, and then they're Scottish, Irish, Welsh... For years I knew if Andy Murray...

    Celebrities jackets

    I have very little familiarity with ZZ Top's oeuvre, but huge respect for Billy G. He's well known for going out of his way to support and champion new and younger talents, mentoring and encouraging. There are plenty of people in the music world that see emerging talents as a threat, as...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I have a pair of Lennons I bought about a decade ago. A very lucky find on eBay - someone bought then never wore them. Mine are the B5 ww1 boot, but in a smooth black leather. Lovely boot to wear, and if you prefer a less pronounced toe, you'll definitely like them. These ones look great too...

    Hats and social media

    I thought that there were more of them about, but likely it's just we're just being shown them more via the algorithm that targets the ads to the viewer.

    Goodwear Jackets why the attraction

    You look as if you're just DARING somebody to try and "take it outta my cold, dead hands!" here! :D May they not get any such chance for many, many years to come! Jhon's jackets look great. I remember looking at buying one of his A2s in the early days, and then the pound dropped a fair bit in...

    What Are You Reading

    Although the first novel in the series was published way back in 2004, I've just started reading Stan Nicholls' Orcs series. Set in a fantasy universe that will be familiar to anyone who has ever spent time with Dungeons and Dragons or Tolkien, this series put a new spin on it by being told from...

    Christmas Music

    Aha! I remember Quiet Riot, but I didn't know they'd covered Cum on... That makes more sense as to why it was included in Rock of Ages - it did seem a touch of an anomaly (the show, though notionally eighties, also includes Mr Big's To be with you and Extreme's More than words, both 1992 hits...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I must look out for that one. I remember MASH doing a take on the subject of integrated troop units being a new thing - the episode with the guy who demands only to be given a transfusion from "white blood". Notably, at that early stage MASH was set in Korea, but very much a cipher for...
