If you fellows have a rough schedule, I shall try to join in at some point and probably have a pint as well!
Good point it's time to clarify the schedule a bit.
So far the two big suggestions are to visit the pop up store in Shoreditch and to have a dinner in brick lane. We will also visit the sons of stag shop which is in the area.
Are there other places to consider?
Lunch would depend on where we start, speaking of which how many of you are up for lunch?

Thirty years ago there were loads of leather businesses on Brick Lane where they made jackets in the basement, and could even accomodate custom orders. Nowadays the businesses are mostly still there, but few make anything in the UK; primarily, the manufacturing is done in Pakistan or India to keep labour costs and therefore retail price, as demanded by the mainstream fashion market, down. You'll find a jacket for £100 or less, and if you want a Brando-type and don't care about where it's made, there's a fair chance that you'll find something close to a Schott if you're prepared to leaf through several of them. Fit and such will vary, and there's nothing to touh an Aero of course.
A little further East, there's Silverman's government and army surplus store, in its (relatively) new premises on Mile End Road. The occasional Vanson, usually a few Schotts, quite a few jackets in their house-brand GTH. Good selection of Chippewa and RedWing boots. Not the cheapest seller, though - worth a quick look if you're passing anyhow, but I wouldn't go out of your way.
Oh.... and just remember they only open Mon-Fri and Sunday, no Saturday, so not one for the same day...

Just a reminder that the meetup in next Saturday!
We might as well meet up at the Eastman store at 14:30, https://goo.gl/maps/pqcHHQu44Jc2oJ1GA
Those who want to have lunch before that. send me a PM. Location is undecided as of now, but it should be in the same area.
@Edward , can you get the license to kill?

I will be wearing the grizzly, I have a licence for it
What are you guys planning to wear?
Is London ready for a double grizzly? We could create chaos in the streets!
Ready or not, let's make it happen!
If @Mysteryo also wears his a triple grizzly might open a portal to somewhere unsafe!

I don't have a Grizzly, but I may turn up in either a G-1 or a Vanson.....
Surely you can find a couple of hours to drop by?
Careful, you might end up wanting a grizzly after meeting us
To everyone thinking of coming, it is just a fun and casual meetup, don't worry about what you are wearing and just come meet us!
