    Leather Cafe Racer Jacket.

    It's that Keith Richards influence. He's a bad man.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Same thing happened to me. Somebody said, "Short-sleeved shirts? They're so middle-management, like the guy who endorses your check at the supermarket." I haven't worn one since. Seeing A-1's, though, maybe I'll reconsider. Funny how those little snarky comments can affect you.

    I just PM'd you.

    Where are all of the Russian/USSR leather jackets

    I mainly agree, but you have to keep in mind that from the 1920's onward in western Europe and the US leather jackets more often reflected stylistic developments in fashion, one industry that had pretty much disappeared in the Soviet Union after WWI. Many of the leather jacket designs in the...

    Where are all of the Russian/USSR leather jackets

    I was just looking at the thread on "Vintage Finnish Leather Jackets." It's curious how different the styles are from those made by their neighbors in the USSR. The Finnish show more of a German influence (especially the shorter, form-fitting Luftwaffe design), but there also seems to be...

    Golden Age Overcoats, Modern Day Equivalents?

    This is one article of clothing of which you can truly see the degeneration of materials and workmanship that has happened over the years. Fortunately, Ebay and Etsy have plenty of beautiful ones from the '60's and before going for a song right now. You cant miss with a Schneider's Loden coat...

    Akubra Hats

    There's a geezer from the outback who materializes on this forum from time to time just to deride us all for being a bunch of bloody pooftas because we worry too much about our Akubras. I'm hoping your comments conjure him up.

    Akubra Hats

    The above comments are certainly interesting. Of my five Akubras, by far the softest is my first, a BGCD, the only one I got from EA, the others all ordered from HatsDirect. All of them came in my size but were a bit large when I got them: after a few months of wear they then all shrank down to...

    Post New Hats Here!

    It's difficult to describe the exact color, but it's one that does manage to go well with many others. It looks particularly great with a brown leather jacket (N.B. Aero Leather Clothing's brown CXL horsehide). Explain to your wife that such a hat would broaden your horizons, and then talk her...

    Do milans provide enough protection for baldies?

    Forget what I said in the above post about the Monterrey. When JJ's were having a sale some time ago I purchased the Brisa: I've had party hats that were better-made.

    Do milans provide enough protection for baldies?

    With all due respect, you're over-thinking it. RJR's right about the fact that you're always moving, but there's also the fact that when light goes through a tiny hole it bends and is therefore diffused (as in a camera's aperture). The amount of light you're getting wearing most straw hats is...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Ah, go for it. That's why God made umbrellas. What's particularly great about Art's Milans is that they go so well with just about any warm-weather outfit, casual or dressy. They're the ones I find myself reaching for every day, and, as I've noted elsewhere, they just get better looking with time.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I understand what Navetsea's saying. When my wife and I were staying in southern India some years ago we went up to one of the old British "hill-stations" (Pondicherry) in the mountains. It was like going from Miami in July to Newfoundland in late August. I never wanted to leave.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    My doctor told me the other day that he's heading for Iceland next month and that the fare was about $160.00 roundtrip. Apparently you can get some really great deals on flights there. I haven't thought about anything else since he told me.

    What are you wearing today??

    I have no willpower whatsoever. I just ordered two pairs on Etsy, one a pair of tan lace-ups and the other a very strange-looking pair of red and black huaraches. I can't wait to see the reactions on my students' faces: they hate it when I dress more outrageously than they do.
