    Have I made a mistake? ( jacket on order )

    97 people out of a 100 reading this think you totally missed the point. :p

    Exactly.

    The wrist watch.

    Some YouTube watch reviewers say the fashion for dinner plate sized watches comes via Sylvester Stallone in some key movies. I have no idea if this was the tipping point towards hugeness. But given this a site dedicated to vintage, it's fair to say that people like Hemingway, Clark Gable and...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Amen to that, tonyb.

    You know you're getting old when you remember when cheesy network TV used to be taken seriously.

    Black coffee. I eat at lunch, never earlier.

    Have I made a mistake? ( jacket on order )

    That's a fun quote but where is the evidence this is in fact the correct breakdown of reactions? Besides, let's face it, it depends on who those 5 people are. If they are your girlfriend, and four close friends who actually know you, and think you look like a twat, then perhaps the quote can be...

    The wrist watch.

    Yeah - I'm a big guy but I prefer small watches. 40mm max. I actually quite like 36mm watches.

    Johnson Leather Car Jacket Custom

    Nice work. I was going to get something almost exactly like this from them some years ago but I settled on their stock car coat in 2.5oz naked cow. I prefer the lighter hide too. I wear mine (which is a little less interesting than yours) all the time in winter. Is that a micarta handled...

    Freewheelers Horsehide Tear - Repair Recommendations

    Have I made a mistake? ( jacket on order )

    Given that most rock-n-rollers are well into pension age, technically you are right.

    Have I made a mistake? ( jacket on order )

    It's so much a taste thing. isn't it? To me buttons would seem pretty ostentatious on that pattern but a nice period look. The look I particularly dislike is the cross zip, 1980's rock-n-roller look. The Bootlegger certainly avoids that particular image.

    Have I made a mistake? ( jacket on order )

    I have no opinion on Jeff Goldblum otherwise, but this self-conscious look doesn't appeal to me at all. I do think it is true that cross zips don't suit eveyone - age irrelevant. They don't suit me and I got them out of my system by the end of the 1980's. But if you want to wear one and the look...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I agree, that did not work well. The second Thedi looks better for a range of reasons. Possibly the mix of fabrics and textures too. Nice one.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    It's personal taste, isn't it? People seem to love a shawl collar. I've always found them really cheesy.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I personally do not like the look of a shawl collar - to my eye they look weak and a little prim.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Regarding cars - I could not agree more. I really hate cars with electronic accessories and pointless technology.

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    I'd go with the cotton drill, it will last longer even if you don't wear the jacket much. Best lining material there is. I would personally decline the upgrade.

    Early split back Brooks CR size 50 fits like 46

    That's fantasitc W! Not easy to find any jackets that will fit at your height. Never let that one go. The Brooks is my favourite jacket.
