    Aero Premier Half Belt Review

    Very nice review. The jacket seems to not only fit you perfectly, but it suits you perfectly as well. Very neat-looking and sophisticated.

    New Gustin leather Café Racer jackets

    I just got an email yesterday that Gustin has come out with their new motorcycle jacket, the L2. As one of the few who didn't think their last effort was that bad for the money, I'd be interested in hearing some opinions on this one.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I'm a little surprised no one has mentioned the new Gustin jacket. I just got an email the other day about their new L2, How do you like the Pegasus? We don't see nearly enough of their jackets here. More pics?

    Vicenza leather in new Aero is inconsistent

    It sounds to me like you're dealing with the same thing I did when I first got my jacket (see earlier post). The larger piece on the back of ny LHB is grainier at the top than at the bottom, and at the time I thought it felt thinner and might rip. Seven years later I haven't had a problem. I...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Very nice jacket and a perfect fit. Weird, but I've never noticed Ralph Edwards' jackets before, and I just noticed on Ebay quite a few of them and a number of nice ones, especially the G-1's. I think if I lived in a colder place I'd right now be searching for one exactly like yours. Cheers.

    Here is why there are so many tiny and so few large vintage hats

    Diet undoubtedly has a great deal to do with it, but so also does genetics. My grandfather, father, and brother all had the same hat size as me, and I've long thought it's also an ethnic thing. In fact, I remember having this discussion with several people in a pub in Dublin one time, and it was...

    Here is why there are so many tiny and so few large vintage hats

    When I was in high school I read a book called "Odd John" by Olaf Stapledon that explained everything for me. It's about a boy who's born with a large head who slowly comes to discover that he's one of the first of the next generation of human-kind. I find evidence for this theory every time I...

    Nick, what year was that done? It kind of morphs from Ventures into Unit 5 + 2 into Hendrix and then beyond! Fantastic. Thanks.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I did a tour like that some years ago and was blown away by the old stations, especially by the incredible tile work. One of the stations had only just then been opened for the first time in decades, and it was positively eerie to stand there thinking about the millions who'd passed through.

    Here is why there are so many tiny and so few large vintage hats

    Also, a great many servicemen were only 18 or 19 years old. When my dad served in the Pacific theater he was called "the old man" by the guys in his platoon because he was 22.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Butte, that leather looks super-nice. What jacket are you planning to wear with them? I was just thinking they'd look killer with one of the Thedi Plisskin-style jackets.

    What would you not be seen dead in?

    Same here. One article of clothing that's made a big comeback in my warm-weather wardrobe is the vest, and I've found some very light and nice linen and silk-linen ones on the web and especially at Brooks Brothers. The last sale they had I managed to grab a couple of tattersalls, which I've...

    A couple of fashion pet peeves...

    That hat looks a lot better than the stingy. I think it has a lot to do with ethnicity and the shape of one's head and face. Northern Europeans, with, generally, wider faces and squarer heads look terrible in skimpy-brims or hats with tapered crowns. My head and facial shapes are similar to...
