I love the Fed IV!!
Heh. here's clearly something afoot: they've run stocks of both versions down to almost nothing. Makes me suspect they're going to introduce a Mk V, maybe nodding to the Dial of Destiny version of The Hat? I can't see them stopping it, given it's an exclusive and, best as I can make out, a... -
I love the Fed IV!!
News to me, hopefully someone on here does... The most obvious way to go might be new colours - bluegrass green, midnight blue.... Personally, what I'd love to see them do the most would be a hemp milano-weave straw version. I miss my Feds this time of year when it's too dern hot to wear... -
An Indy Jacket question
Yes, the standard fit jackets were somewhat modified to fit real people in the real world.... they do also do the 'Hero' versions which are much more 'screen accurate', but won't necessarily be as flattering on those of us who aren't a younger Harrison Ford by comparison.... good explanation of...- Edward

An Indy Jacket question
Somewhere between Depends and varies. Ford wore it fractionally shorter in Raiders than in Temple. I think either works. In theory, it should hang about the same length as an A2,, but a bit looser., and the leather will be that little bit longer than on an equivalent A2 because of the lack of...- Edward

Temporary leather paint?
Nothing I know of. that I could guarantee... maybe paint it on some bit of fabric shaped like old punk patches, then attached them temporarily with some light-duty double-sided tape?- Edward

Green Leather Jackets
Thanks - looks slightly longer than a Schott, but not that odd, elongated fit so many modern bike jackets are where the waist tabs fall markedly below my actual waist! Hoping to get out to visit them this Summer, though they're a bit of a trek from the train. Could be a fun trip for a TFL...- Edward

Green Leather Jackets
I wonder if they're using the original 60s / 70s patterns, which would have been smaller then? I'm not clear on the relationship between the current owners and the original brand . Goldtop was out of production on the consumer market for a long time before these guys, but I don't know if the...- Edward

Green Leather Jackets
How did you find the sizing? They seem to me to come up a bit small (much like the 618s), I 'm eying a 617 as a replacement for my Schott (which I've come to a view is just a smidge too tight for my preferences); I vary between a 44 and a 48 in most things, but it looks like I'd need a 50 in one...- Edward

The ones I've seen were very decent - I'd have put them on par wit my Schott 618.- Edward

Formal Wear Primer
Excellent. :) Look forward to seeing what you get. (As an aside, isn't it interesting how, owing to keywords being such a thing, the internet is pulling us in the direction of having defined terminology for so many things that haven't really had a strictly defined name or parameter before?) -

Formal Wear Primer
HMn. Digging around suggests that technically it is the flower itself is the nosegay (common usage in my circles has always been to refer to the whole thing or the vase as a nosegay). Can't find any alternative other than 'nosegay holder' or 'boutonniere vase', though. If what you're looking... -
So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.
There is that. My wife buys this sort of thing a lot. We occasionally use whole onions and slicing them up rips the eyes out of both of us, no matter what we do. These pre-sliced ones save that trouble and generally work out no more expensive either. The lack of wastage is a big plus; even if we...- Edward

The Worth Of A Penny
American guitar players will also often refer to "diming" an amplifier. Took me a minute when I first discovered that saying to twig it meant "turn it all up to 10" (i.e. the maximum. Unless your amp is *special* and goes to eleven).- Edward

What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?
Thanks. Sainsbury's (UK supermarket brand) TU Clothing label from about four or five years ago. They do some surprisingly nice vintage bits here and there. I have a knit polo with a zip neck in a very 40s style that the wife picked up there for me a few years ago, as well as a couple of very...- Edward

Addict clothes leather vs Lewis leathers
I've only handled one in person, at Clutch Cafe. It was not a jacket I'd have bought due to the double dealbreaker of being too modern a style for me (their version of a SuperMonza, a design that came in in 1978) and too light (their equivalent of Lewis' sheep). The manufacturing quality was...- Edward

The End of the Collector Mindset
They're a different couple from the awful pair who kicked off a row when they visited those botanical gardens a few years ago, aren't they? I find it interesting when people choose this sort of lifestyle. I'm fine with it as long as they don't go down the route of thinking it makes them...- Edward

sterkowski caps
There's a fair bit of re-enactment over here, though probably not to the same level as in the US. Tends to be more in the "living history" variety the more modern it gets - you don't tend to see simulated combat for anything 20th century, for instance. I get the impression there's significantly... -
sterkowski caps
Funnily enough, I had always assumed it was an Americanism I'd picked up somewhere online, but it seems it might be more of a UK military term in origin. The concept of 'stolen valor' doesn't really translate over here - on the whole, even in Britain (and much moreso back in Ireland, on both...
