    Australia help for a new zip please

    Going back a few years, I had an Aero zipper replaced at a shop at 171 Woodville Rd, Villawood. I believe the company made police motorcycle jackets at the time. They were part of a uniform shop called Workscene, if I remember right. They did a great job. Give them a call on 02 8707 1555 and see...

    Avi Leather m445

    You're all set to tackle winter now, John. I think with AVI Leather, as far as the quality of product to price ratio goes, you can't go wrong. Looks like a real winner!

    The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.

    Ain't that the truth, brother. The "policy" is to blame everyone and everything but the agenda behind it all and the SOBs responsible. And still nobody does anything about it.

    Jackets at the WW2 Museum

    Every item is precious in such museums and memorials. Imagine what those men experienced while wearing those garments. What thoughts, fears, emotions, determination and courage they felt then. And it makes me sad because those who survived the war are so very few now. My Dad, were he still with...

    Yeah, well he can pebble his goods elsewhere!

    Chinese leather jackets

    Looks pretty darn good from where I'm sitting. Actually affordable given the joke of an exchange rate for the AUD.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    My family doctor recently retired and moved away. So I've been looking for a new doctor in the area and collating a range of recommendations from neighbours, friends and family. All come with the caveat: "You have to book an appointment a couple of days ahead." Um, say what? Do I have a crystal...

    “WTF’ Hats,” that are hard to believe...

    I once came across a photo of my Mother in a stunning ball gown posed with a whole team of other girls and their partners in Sydney Town Hall in, if I remember right, 1953 - her debutante's ball. I asked her how she managed to end up at such a prestigious locale for a middle-class girl and she...

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    The Breakfast Club was on daytime TV here the other day. Classic. You know who was great in the 80s? John Candy. Uncle Buck. Planes, Trains and Automoblies. Spaceballs. Stripes. Good flicks, good memories.

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    Oh man. If they can do that to Rocky, imagine what they've done to Bullwinkle! (Sad that my kids would have no idea what I'm talking about. Boy, did they miss out.)

    Bring me baggy trousers!

    As stylish as ever GHT. May I ask how wide they are at the knee? Call me a barbarian, but I can envision them being tapered right in at the ankles to make zoot suit 'drape' pants as well! Good luck with the dry cleaner search. Once bitten, very much twice shy. I'm in the same boat with my...

    Full custom Field Leathers Manhattan review

    You never cease to inspire us, Marc. Your collection is a treasure trove of wonder, and your commitment to acquiring what you want, with all the effort it entails, is exceptionally admirable. (It took me years and years to train my tailor to make vintage-style suits for me and to listen and...

    The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.

    What I really want is someone to do an in-depth study of what happens to socks. You buy a pair of socks, within a month one of them has vanished as if into thin air. Where do they go? Is there some sort of Bermuda Triangle especially for socks? Do they disappear into another dimension somewhere...

    Australian western style hats?

    My wife has relatives out in the bush, 9 hours drive west of Sydney. The folks out there invariably have beaten-up, well-used hats - at least in the smaller towns of 800 to 2000 people. They're hard people, going from drought to flood to drought again; I honestly don't know how they do it. It's...

    Regius Made Leather Jacket

    Looking at this level of workmanship and dedication, I'm starting to think we've misspelt his name. It's more like Genius than Regius. Simply outstanding.

    Anyone else hating the hot weather

    Most mornings at my place this time of the year it's around 4° C, though last week there were two mornings at 0.7° and 1°. It's bearable so long as there's not a wind chill factor to drop it down further, which makes the 15-minute trudge to work from the car park pretty unpleasant. We get a...

    do your view on clothes change after covid?

    Post-covid, the supposed official inflation rate is 7%, and yet my car registration, insurance, council rates, utlitities bills and groceries are up 20%; maybe the government can't do basic mathematics. Then you've got mortgage rates driving people to the edge of poverty. Anyway, my wife and I...
