    What are you wearing today??

    ~ Hopefully one day! Part of the plus of the event is the lack of any need to book anything, so it can be a fairly last minute decision, though appreciate your circumstances probably rule it out either way this year. I hope Tina gets her surgery date asap and it all goes well. Sometimes the...

    The Clint Eastwood Poncho

    Cool. I believe this is the reference point for the one Norman Reedus wears in the Walking Dead, though obviously his isn't a copy of the Eastwood model. There was an official merchandise version of this produced a few years ago - I bought one for the wife. A lighter acrylic rather than the...

    What are you wearing today??

    Always great to see these coming out! I'll be wearing a jacket very similar to this, all being well (and assuming the fit is good when it arrives - bought 'vintage' online), to the Chap Flaneur in May. Similar pattern, though black gold and purple in colour. Love the cut of this one - so rare...

    The only damage mine came with was the lining of one of the sleeves cut in half, no damage to the shell, though. That fortunately was easily sorted - I just had my dry cleaner reline the sleeve. Otherwise not sure whether it had been worn. I know unissued they come without the buttons attached...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    According to the googles, they off-shored production from the US sometime after the 90s; best as I can make out they disappeared some time between 2012 and 2024. I find the lack of the rubber toecap on this sort of design does help breathability - Most days from June to mid September...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Are Acme still around? Meatloaf's Eddie boots from RHPS were a very distinctive design that I believe to be an ACME.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    That time of year, innit? I've switched over from boots to loafers kicking around this last week. Last couple of Summers I've had to give in around May / June and wear plimsols much of the time owing to the heat. Picked up a few pairs of the old school Vans (forget the model name, but the ones...

    This reminds me a lot of the one David Tennant wore during his first run as Doctor Who! Would look great with a darker brown db suit, or earthtoned tweeds...

    Nice hats. Mirror shots, or is your left your shooting eye? ;)

    Aces High multi panel flying jacket.

    There's certainly still a market for these.... I'm sure some folks here will be best placed to give you a better idea on price. Via the likes of eBay you'll suffer a little for the name not being as well known as Aero or ELC, though in a collectors' circle as perf this sort of place that won't...

    Looks like a great pattern. I love the length especially - great flare as you walk along when worn open, and really keeps the warm air in when worn closed. Just have to be careful with stairs. Specifically, I've found mine's fine going down stairs, but going up you have to be careful not to...

    Of the lot this is my favourite. I wonder how old it was at that point - looks like a late 40s / early 50s design; certainly conceivable he could have bought it new then and still been wearing it in the 80s if it was something for 'occasional wear' rather than worn hard all Winter for a number...

    The 'Sport' prefix would certainly suggest practical outdoorsy usage... perhaps for the groundsman / gamekeeper / anyone with a need for extra pockets for dog-biscuits and shotgun shells while outside for long periods? hunting is, of course, much more practical and comes without the...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    you'll probably want to avoid Scoop on Netflix, then! ;) Though it's actually a very good representation of the reality of the contemporary broadcast newsroom and how an event-interview like that can come about.

    Interesting look - I've never seen one like it before. I wonder was it a special order, or just an unusual OTR? From a practical pov, I could see it making sense for a man who spent a lot of time out of doors in very cold weather, and wanted access to certain things (wallet, keys, notebook...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Scott definitely is wide-ranging, I'm not a fan of all of his stuff by any means. Re TEM, I mean Lynch went to some effort to root it in the style of an earlier type of cinematography, which is what they've done with Ripley. I see echoes of Hitchcock, bits of classic European cinema of that...

    Minimalist Wardrobe

    Something along those lines, yes. It goes back to an oft-told story about Einstein, later in his life, supposedly wearing the same outfit every day in order to save time and brain capacity for his work. I've never been entirely convinced that that story was wholly true, but it is popularly...

    [Scammer Alert] "Red Tornado" outerwear on Ali Express

    If you bought in Aliexpress, it's worth trying their resolution centre. I have only picked up one or two little things on there which were of no great consequence; I wouldn't risk big money on the platform at that sort of distance. Less fear of getting ripped off, more the hassle / near...

    do you have names for meals? like a Nickname for special dishes?

    Marlowe Towers has recently seen the arrival of a dish dubbed 'Mimi Memorial Chimkens'. Our late Mimi Dog, who died in February this year, was very fond of 'chimkens' (chicken). When she died very suddenly, there was still a new and unopened packet of fresh chicken pieces in the fridge that had...

    Interesting website, thanks for posting. On a whim this time last year, I picked up a couple of Bronson A3 caps and a denim Daisy Mae. Wasn't sure what wear I'd get out of them - but quite a lot, it turns out. The Daisy mae surprisingly so - an excellent alternative to a straw fedora for a more...
