Thugee. RayBan Balorama the sunglasses of choice ?

40Kg ? if I lost that I would be back at my weight as a 14 year old.

Nice jacket by the way even tho' I'm strictly a zipper dude ( bar my Schott leather peacoat of course !)

Yes 33kg with my goal to lose another 7kg by years end this jacket was actually a carrot to keep myself focused on my goal as I bought it knowing it would be a slim fit pattern, my weight loss probably isn’t a good thing for some of my other jackets though.

WOW...that’s saying something!!
But is it your favorite??? Lol
Cals are listening.

Ha. If I could find sellers on eBay without a clue that they are trying to sell a LW jacket I would have many of them. That is a definite plus when looking for Cals. Many folks just call them an "unbranded vintage cop jacket" or something similar, and sell them for $150. This LW is a Cal repro so there is that.

Did you see the Aero Chips in Midnight Blue CXL just beneath my post? That one is heading my way and I am stoked for it.

I may have to christen the Aero with a nice cigar, good idea.

Yeah B, glad you got the Langlitz. I was waiting for confirmation on the P2P when it disappeared. LOL. LL are no-joke, incredible stuff. And that price was insane for a perfect, like-new one. Enjoy the heck out of it.

Yes the RayBan Balorama have ben my sunglasses of choice for way over 30 years now , near 40 !

Bought my first pair in Spain. I now have a fair collection of them from over the ages. Some from the 60's !

Clint Eastwoods choice in Dirty Harry first coupla movies.

I have Black , Gold/black , Red/black , Purple/pink ( seriously !), Brown Tortoiseshell , Black Tortoiseshell ( 60's they are). Multiples of many of those colours. I have brand new old stock (NOS) cased and boxed of early 70's collected around the world. All Bausch & Lomb of Rochester New York.

Some 7 barrel hinges , (the early ones), some 5 barrel. They are my daily wearer sunglasses , as you know by habit you do not leave the house in Australia without a pair of sunnies AND I find them the best for motorcycling bar none when straight sunnies are considered (not sunglass/goggle type which are bike/ski specific)

Just like my burgeoning jacket collection I ritually "cycle" them , wearing a different pair each day , then hand soap washed . dried and put back into the roster. Sound OCD to anyone here haha...YOU know what I man !

Chit I could start a thread on RayBan Balorama alone haha...
