Ah, BTW, I learnt there that actually Mary Austin ain't pocketing the auction proceeds, and they will actually be donated to the Mercury Phoenix Trust and the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
I found that to be quite symbolic, honestly. She kept all his belongings for more than 30 years, keeping...
I should've taken more photos and paid more attention, but honestly at this time I was just mesmerised at all of his trinkets and sharing a sort of dreamlike feeling with a 10 year old that I let it slip. Anyway, pretty cool experience.
They had a banner hanging with one of Freddie's sayings...
Thank you! I've been pretty strict lately, so I guess it will be refreshing to have a break. Besides I'm sure this'll be a memory for her life
Haha she'll get the feeling, but I think it is better if I spare her from my singing skills
I wish I read this before. We just got here like 11:30 and...
Alright, I'm convinced. Already agreed with my boss to take tomorrow off and I think my daughter will be suffering of a serious case of schoolioffys tomorrow
Lol problem is I already did that a couple months ago to take her to the royal air tattoo (and got a warning from school because of that). Problem is that time weather was utter shite and the experience was blemished... However I pretty much blew my chance there
That's pretty cool! I didn't even know that was happening now. Can you give more details about the expo? Is it free to enter? Until when is this happening? My daughter adores Queen and Freddie, and would be very entertaining (and a life memory) for a 10 year old to see it all.
Edit: oh well...
Well, I'm not a great fan of this type of art or of that particular jacket, but I could see the appeal of having an "art piece" on the back of a jacket... Having a Dominator with a piece of a Banksy when he wasn't that big would be something uniquely interesting haha
F*cking cool! Love it. Bring something new to the table, in a market where any good maker manufactures their own version of the same 5 different models haha
Hmm don't know if I agree with that... My ELMC is pretty thin and has nice rolls
Roughly 0.9-1mm thick
Honestly, I'm quite enjoying this weight of leather, especially for this time of the year. There is no way I'd be able to wear my LL or Aero in Badalassi, but this one's perfect
I recently got 2m of Harris Tweed fabric out of Vinted for a good price and now I'm thinking about using it to make me a jacket. I thought about making a Half Belt style and was wondering if the length I should go for is the same as for a leather jacket or should I go slightly longer?
Yeah, just confirmed, the previous owner hasn't used any products on the jacket (and hasn't even worn it more than a handful of times), so I suppose it is as @Canuck Panda said, batch dependant.
Oh well, one more squeaky squeak jacket to the collection
