    Why is "tea dance" not having a comeback?

    They still exist in the U.K. - Blackpool Tower Ballroom and the Midland Hotel in Morecambe hold them. I’ve been to tea dances at both places. (Not cheap though).

    Erase writing on Lewis Leathers patch

    If you remove the writing from the patch you will devalue the jacket in the eyes of many potential buyers should you decide to sell it at some future point. Apart from that it’s your jacket so your choice. I’ve removed similar writing from similar patches by rubbing gently with a lint free cloth...

    Is that a fake Belstaff Trialmaster?

    Well it’s a thread about Belstaffs and I’m talking about Barbours so I’m changing the subject ie going off topic. I’ll edit it to make it more clear.

    Is that a fake Belstaff Trialmaster?

    Slightly off (the topic of the), thread - but I’ve got a Barbour To Ki To hunting jacket labelled ‘Made in China it’s absolutely identical apart from the colour to another my son has which has no country of origin label. I’m pretty sure both are genuine. Ps neither is waxed cotton. I believe the...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Good tactics - I visit Antique Fairs and am frequently asked if I’m looking for anything in particular. I usually say “Valuable items that you don’t know the value of!” They laugh at first and then look nervous when I buy stuff from them.

    PayPal payment unclaimed - i believe it’s because he didn’t have a PayPal account or that the email registered with Etsy wasn’t linked to his PayPal account and he’d have to open an email from them and actually ‘claim’ the money by linking the email to a PayPal account.

    Sizing questions Aero Leather A-1 jacket

    When you buy an Aero they ask for specific measurements from you and make the jacket to fit. If you buy one from their sale page the listing gives the important measurements. With respect asking members here what size will not get you a jacket that fits as well as one ordered from Aero after...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I had mine re-lined by Aero and they confirmed it was Connelly. If you send pics to Aero Leather they’ll confirm it for you - that’s the safest method. In answer to the rest of your question, by the grain and the label and by the smell (reminiscent of roses). One of the Aero team might spot this...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    The most expensive is a scam - hoping you’ll bite and he’ll then buy the other for the lower price and ship to you. If the cheaper one has sold you’ll be refunded.

    Help with finding some jackets?

    I believe that at a certain point in becoming famous most singers /groups employ ‘Wardrobe Mistresses/Masters” ie prop buyers etc. Maybe you could try to research who sourced his gear and make contact?

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    That’s exactly word for word my experience. I checked my PayPal account and it showed the refund a few hours after my payment to him with the usual PayPal phrase that it might take a day or two to appear on my credit card blah blah. It hadn’t been credited to my card yesterday and isn’t there...
