    Goodwear Jackets why the attraction

    You look as if you're just DARING somebody to try and "take it outta my cold, dead hands!" here! :D May they not get any such chance for many, many years to come! Jhon's jackets look great. I remember looking at buying one of his A2s in the early days, and then the pound dropped a fair bit in...

    What Are You Reading

    Although the first novel in the series was published way back in 2004, I've just started reading Stan Nicholls' Orcs series. Set in a fantasy universe that will be familiar to anyone who has ever spent time with Dungeons and Dragons or Tolkien, this series put a new spin on it by being told from...

    Christmas Music

    Aha! I remember Quiet Riot, but I didn't know they'd covered Cum on... That makes more sense as to why it was included in Rock of Ages - it did seem a touch of an anomaly (the show, though notionally eighties, also includes Mr Big's To be with you and Extreme's More than words, both 1992 hits...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I must look out for that one. I remember MASH doing a take on the subject of integrated troop units being a new thing - the episode with the guy who demands only to be given a transfusion from "white blood". Notably, at that early stage MASH was set in Korea, but very much a cipher for...

    Cowboy Boots

    Tell folks it was a trophy from that time you were a champion line-dancer in college.... ;) I like the rainbow effect on that first pair!

    Christmas Music

    Au contraire! That Christmas 1973 number one may have been the year before I was born, but it's been a staple of Christmas music in the UK ever since, to the point where Noddy Holder makes GBP500,000 in royalties every year - and that's 50% of the total take. It'll be somewhere in the Christmas...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    So a google tells me. What a shame! Seems it was a victim of various acquisitions of bulk properties and network / streaming switches. Maybe the platforms didn't have the imagination to see the value in letting it evolve into something much great than the "Trek with naughty jokes and a few...

    Christmas Music

    My favourite Christmas number ever is, of course... That said, if you want something that truly reflects my own, lived Christmas experience... But you can't beat a classic.... Or even a great cover of a classic... ...especially one that does something... interesting... with it!

    What do you look for in a Custom / Bespoke / MTO / MTM jacket?

    I think we do need to define 'custom' here. I interpreted it in the OP in the same way as Marc has here, it seems. Of the Aeros I've owned, most were bought new and (bar my Highwayman, bought from stock) were arguably "custom" as I specced the colour / hide / lining. My Bootlegger, though, is...

    Customer Service Response Time

    Depends on the company, really. I wouldn't expect speed of communications from a one-man company where communications are dealt with between breaks from actually sewing jackets. OTOH, while some companies are generally pretty quick because they have dedicated staff, there are also those who...

    Fit Check: Iron Heart A-2 Deck Jacket

    That's where I'd be at. I'm very much not a fan of the trend to make all these military styles tailored-fit, and 'perfect' to the individual - takes it away from the utilitarian appeal of a mass-produced, uniform piece for me. Still, horses for courses.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I liked this a lot (and Barbie!). Much as I enjoy a good gangster picture, it's also always nice to see the other side of the coin. Reminds me of a great pair of made-for-TV films over here some years ago about the Great Train Robbery, one each told from the pov of Bruce Reynolds (played by Luke...

    Is it me or has it become harder to sell things on Classifieds or anywhere else?

    You'd probably find all of those in different individuals. Someone who was always 'naturally' - for want of a better way of putting it - "vintage" will likely still be there, albeit with the odd concession to modernity. In one of the more recent pieces I saw on a young man who had a very...

    What are you listening to?

    Yes, a lot of the Pogue's going on over here with Shane having gone on his final adventure. Fairytale has gone to number one in Ireland this week. I suspect it will make it to Christmas number one in the UK as well - and deservedly so. If it does, it would have amused himself - after they lost...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I just read somewhere the other day that Sinatra came close to an actual suicide attempt during filming, partly brought on by the level of criticism and speculation that he would be rubbish, and was only given the role due to mob influence (something that all involved have always rubbished). He...

    Is it me or has it become harder to sell things on Classifieds or anywhere else?

    It fascinates me that they clearly perceive much greater differences between then and now than I, turning 50 next year, do. I remember hearing people talk about the possibility of a back to the 90s time travel show and thinking it couldn't work.... then I watched repeats of the old Cracker tv...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Finished all three series of Only Murders in the Building; I do hope there is more to come. I'm now onto The Orville. Intriguing stuff. Not the parody I had anticipated, but rather the closest thing there is to a Torchwood to the Doctor Who of the official Star trek properties. Explores a...

    A cheaper alternative to these leather pants?

    Styleforum might be a more natural home for this sort of thing?

    Pocket heaters

    Yes, I suspect the plastic will have some limit to its lifespan - though the wife has a few she got three or four Winters from.

    Never really understood the term "mom jeans". In context it seems to be an intentionally derogatory term, but this side of the Atlantic I've only ever seen it applied as a simple descriptor, by brands that make them. Just look like ordinary jeans, really, from what I can see. Some of the kids...
