My latest charity shop find is a Drizabone - great quality but a bit too big maybe?
Anyway imagine my surprise when my mate Paul arrived for lunch wearing an identically similar (that’s science speak for the same) jacket but with a Barbour label. If you search for Barbour A1550 Bushman Jacket...
Check out Rowallan Wallets on Amazon. They’re made in Scotland are reasonable in price are well made and last. I’ve had a zip around version for five years.

I missed out Acqua Di Parma and L’Eau D’Issey Pour Homme
And credit to TFL threads like this one that helped me to discover Acqua Di Parma and Caron.
It looks like goat and if you check out their website that’s the hide they use on their G1’s. There aren’t any inside pockets - just the left welt chest pocket with a poppered closure like on a G1. I’ve just found a care label inside which has a Made in USA of Imported Leather Lining 100%...
It’s labelled 44” M422 - specification G1, but does not have a Mouton collar. So I’m assuming it was a special order to make it look like an ANJ3.
Contact me here if you’re interested in negotiating a lower buy it now.
Cheers

:)Having previously bought (cheap on eBay), an RRL version in a 42 and a suede Italian version in a 46 I’ve now got an A1 in my own size 44 long and it’s my most comfortable leather jacket, very easy to wear and looks great. I think of it as my Goldilocks A1
If you read Epaulets full Instagram post including comments you’ll see that it’s neither CXL nor Vicenza in their Aero collaboration - it’s their own FQH from an Italian tannery called Comipel. They have always used this leather for their footwear. I suspect their stating this on their...
Ok we’re still not getting it from my above 2 posts. My questions are as follows and
putting the style of the jacket to one side:-
1. Had SB thought of using natural veg tanned leather which ages beautifully with exposure to the sun before they saw the Aero Epaulet collaboration?
2. Did they add...
With such a slim fit I doubt the cinch belts would be needed? Also two internal chest pockets and an external breast and a welt chest pocket might look a little ‘lumpy’ when used and zippered?
With reference to post #8 above I realise I may have been a little too cryptic so here you go-

Hmmmm interesting design - it looks just like a zip sleeved, zip pocketed Highwayman in natural veg tanned leather but with two G1 style pockets and a G1 ‘action back’. Or is it a sort of hybrid Sheene/G1? I wonder where they got their inspiration from to morph all of those features?

My cousin has thin receding hair on top and swears by the old adage ‘if you can’t hide it make a feature of it!’
Consequently he has his hair very short (a no 1 Summer or no2 Winter crew cut) and uses a drop of whatever liquid shampoo and conditioner his wife buys him.

I was lucky enough to find a vintage Bosca old leather Dopp kit here in the UK at a Car Boot Sale (£5.00). I’ve had to restitch part of the zipper tape to the leather but it’s still going strong. It’s pretty full with a razor, a small can of foam, toothbrush, shampoo etc. but I work on the...
