    SB shearling lined Roadster

    Looks pretty good. I sent them my black goat Roadster to be re lined in shearling with a mouton collar a couple of weeks ago. It’s going to be next winter by the time I’ll get to use it though. I didn’t think they had that really nice goat anymore.

    Eastman BOB Irvin Early.

    Decided I’m going to keep it. Sorry to the couple of people who PMed me this week and my late replies. The site hasn’t been working for me very well and it won’t load properly on any of the computers in the house.

    Pure-vintage lady in Scunthorpe

    Al Bowlly was very popular in the thirties. He sang at all the big nightclubs and fashionable cafes in London which the idle rich frequented, and was very big on the wireless. His biggest successes were with the bandleader and songwriter Ray Noble, in whose bands he sang for years. He went with...

    Fit Pic Evaluation Help - New Half Belt

    Having seen the pictures of the original with the same belt and pocket placement I now think it’s completely right. If that is how it’s meant to be then it’s correct, and it’s only our modern tastes and preconceptions of what a jacket should be which gets in the way of our vision.

    Eastman BOB Irvin Early.

    John Lever has told me that it isn’t as old as I was told when I bought it and dates to around 2000. That probably fits in better because the seller was a bit vague as to how long it had been in the wardrobe...

    I do one for tomorrow. It’s the nylon translucent type.

    Leather jacket break in service

    Quite agree. I don’t think it’s any more outrageous than dog walkers or house sitters. The OP gets to wear new and different expensive leather jackets all the time too. What if one was nicked, or damaged in a freak gardening accident though?

    Mister Freedom Campus Jacket (Pic Heavy)

    I was slightly intrigued by this thread because the Mr Freedom I knew was a clothing shop in King’s Road and then Kensington back in the dark ages. I had a multi coloured Mr Freedom shirt from the Church Road shop which I kept for years. The place was fashionable, and like all fashionable things...

    Any good pre Edwarian era adventure novels?

    Tarzan 1912. The lost World 1912. Just two off the top of my head and there were plenty of others.

    New jacket issues

    Stick with it and wear it, and sit on it and knead it. It fits so well and the colour is so good you need it.

    New jacket issues

    I’m not one for putting lots of quotes under my handle. But I do like Maynard Keynes reply to someone who accused him of inconsistency. “When the facts change I change my mind. What do you do?"

    Eastman BOB Irvin Early.

    I am selling my Eastman BoB size 44. It’s an earlier one from the late nineties or around the turn of the millennium from the view of these who know here. Andrew the go to Irvin man says that these earlier ones are the best ones. Before the broken hide. I bought it a couple of years ago from...

    New jacket issues

    I does look better than anything else and that’s why people like it. But is will never be as comfortable as lighter FQHH. Not even after twenty years of wear. Plus, if like most here you have a few jackets it can be hard to wear just one every day.

    New jacket issues

    Chrome tanned hides do not soften with heat like CXL does but they don’t get so stiff in the cold either. Judging by the CFQHH swatches I’ve had it softens about the same as CXL but once soft it doesn’t stiffen up again in the cold like my twenty years old well broken in CXL jacket still does.

    New jacket issues

    Well, we agree on something. I have never understood this business of wearing uncomfortable jackets like a badge of honour. It’s just like those drunk people you see in curry houses forcing themselves to eat as hot a curry as they can get down them, and sweating and panting as the claim to be...

    Connelly Steerhide Aero HWM.

    Thanks breezer. Did you sell it here? I didn’t see it. I don’t think things are selling that well at the moment. Certainly in the UK and Continental Europe. So much uncertainty. I’ll put it on the evil eBay soon though. So if anyone wants to make me an offer I can’t refuse before then…...
