    Elephant Skin questions

    How have you found the sizing? I'm keen on their workwear waistcoats, but I vary in size in a waistcoat a lot, and it can be hard without being able to try one on first to know whether a 46 will be 'just right' and a '48' fit like a loose gilet on me, or a 46 be like a sausage skin and the 48 be...

    Hats and social media

    I qlways report such ads to Facebook. I doubt it makes much difference, but it's something at least.

    Green Leather Jackets

    That is what I'd call Kawasaki Green; I wonder was it made for someone who raced Ks?

    Thoughts on the Cafecto style jacket?

    Grey leather definitely puts it in a specific timeframe. I don't think I've ever seen this sort of grey leather other than in an eighties piece? Which sort of surprises me; styles can vary in appeal ,that's subjective, but I'd have thought there'd be more of a market for grey than some of the...

    Help with a Ladies Jacket

    I saw that jacket there, but been hoping they'll bring the hide into the regular line.... it's a great colour!

    Help with a Ladies Jacket

    Is that in the regular Aero line now? I really like that teal. Would totally wear. Can see it looking great in a Boardracer, possibly with white sleeves.... Or an Aeromarine... Yeah. For all women get the "lol, women and fashion" type comments sometimes, I honestly think many of us are little...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Sounds like an interesting show. Did you ever catch the UK-made show "Humans"? Similarish territory, though through a UK filter, reminiscent in some respects of early Black Mirror.

    You know you are getting old when:

    Zero for me. I have younger friends still in their middle thirties who will be running pretty close to the big 20, though. :0 I well remember making the switch with my students from saying "your parents" to "your grandparents". Though I've yet to knowingly teach the child of a former student...

    Whats your favorite Hat for warm weather

    Here in Beijing, I'm alternating between canvas eight panel caps, an Akubra Capricorn (now about fifteen years old; the pleather sweatband eventually disintegrated and I pulled it out, but it wears just fine without it), and, casually, two Bronson A3 caps. Not owned anything like a ball cap for...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Donahue is not a name I know, no... Springer was the first of the type we saw over here. Interesting the model is older again. Yes, Jerry always seemed a decent stick to me, whatever might be said of his eponymous show. I often thought he would be interesting dinner conversation.

    The Adventurer's Gear Thread

    So, getting everything tidied up here in Beijing ahead of my last class tomorrow morning and flying back to London tomorrow evening, I was reminded I promised some photos of my bike / travel vest. I've been in two different hotels this last couple of weeks, teaching at two different...

    What are you wearing today??

    I've had a few pairs of Samuel Windsor shoes over the years. They have their distinct detractors, but I always found them very decent for the money, if you go in with realistic expectations. They won't make financial sense to resole like a pair of Trickers or high end Grensons, but some years...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    Aha! Thanks. I've not seen this show, but I've heard of the franchise.

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    I'm not familiar with this guy, but I do like the cloth of that purple suit in the first photo!

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    I just caught the news this morning. An interesting character, who crops up, via his fictionalised counterpart in Jerry Spring the Opera in my media law lectures in terms of both broadcasting regulation, and the attempted prosecution that brought about the final abolition of the blasphemy law in...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Wonderful performer, one of the true drag icons - and a comedy icon in general. A sad loss, compounded by coming so on the heels of another titan of the drag world, Paul O'Grady (Lily Savage). Humphries; loss will be keenly felt in Rocky Horror world, where he will forever be remembered as...

    Untucked shirts? Brands to recommend

    I'm not much help here as I'm an inveterate tucker, but fwiw I find a very significant proportion of modern / contemporary casual shirts are of little use to me as they all seem to be cut too short to tuck, presumably on the assumption they'll be worn loose. Unless you're looking something to...

    Eyeglasses frame "Trim tube"

    It's an interesting question. I've never seen any such thing on sale - to be honest, I don't even know if opticians can get hold of it: I suspect in today's world, it'll have been replaced with some sort of plastic compound that is in effect disposable, and can't be replaced. (I know it...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I'm hoping Perry Mason makes it to one of my UK streamers soon, it sounds good (even though I have only very limited knowledge of the series to which it forms a prequel).

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    They were both past their heyday by then. Camden was never the same after the fire in 2008. I've not really spent time there in a long time, but the last time I was through, it was a fun enough place to wander around, but all the uniqueness had gone, replaced by multiple places selling the same...
