Srtating to getstupid-hot here in London again - it's 13celsius today. I might end up wearing a denim jacket for the first time in well over a decade as my lighter Winter jackets are now a bit much.

My goodness ( sorry Strewth !) it is a COOL change here when it drops suddenly from 36C to 26 !

I wore a leather jacket to work this morning as it was 12.9C at 6AM
25C on the way home at 4PM so the jacket was carried to the car !

I know Gibson and Barnes very well and have owned several over the years. They were always cut too large (e.g., size 42 with a 24.5 pit to pit) but you can offset that by wearing a size smaller. I generally find a 40T works well for me and I'm nominally a 42. Not sure if the patterns or materials are still the same now they are made in Mexico. Of course the Expo has been deleted from their range.

I still wear the one I bought in 2002 and it has outlasted Aero's, Johnson Leathers and other fine jackets I have had made for me. The goat they use is fantastic stuff but it is chrome tanned and some folk here would find it boring. I had a size 42 Raider G2 goatskin flight jacket which was superb. Why the hell did I sell it? I think the pit to pit on that was close to 25 inches and too bloody big.

Well said. As for the Raider, definitely the most underrated jacket which I too miss. Wish I could go back in time.

Home all day with two kids (1 year old and a 5 year old with a cough who are not allowed in daycare because of the corona scare), so I am done. This crappy elevator picture with food stained pants is the best I can achieve today. On my way to take out the trash (this is what is also called “me-time” when you are on parental leave...)
