    The George Morrell Corp - 1935 Casein Buttons

    Don’t let them get too wet. I left a casein plastic Conway Stewart fountain pen out in the rain and it softened up and ‘melted’.

    Why does Samuel Adams Boston Lager taste so much better than many other Lagers?

    Prohibition etc. - yes that all makes sense. Some good suggestions for ‘proper worth drinking US beers’ for me to try above, so thank you lads. If you like IPA and you ever see a UK beer called Jaipur by the Thornbridge Brewery bottled or draught/draft, give it a go - IMO it’s the best IPA in...

    Why does Samuel Adams Boston Lager taste so much better than many other Lagers?

    I’m sitting in the U.K. watching University Challenge - a quiz show pitting teams from UK Unis against each other and I’m enjoying a Sam Adams. It’s got lots of flavour and in my experience many other more common US lagers don’t have much. Why is this, don’t Americans favour flavour in their beers?

    Natal Leather

    Nice one Worf - those were my first thoughts too - reminds me of the urban myth about Herman Miller chairs in the 60’s being covered in Naugahyde with lots of speculation about what a Nauga looked like. Rob

    Leather Bomber/Car Jacket info

    A number of manufacturers made similar ‘long motorcycle jackets’ I had a similar jacket made by Schott in the 60’s same basic shape and mouton collar but different pockets. Mine was a 631ms. The pic is a screen capture from the Schott nyc forum from when Gail identified it for me. Sadly the...

    Aero Connolly Leather vs FQHH

    Here’s my early Aero Patrolman’s jacket (Aillee zipper) back from its re-line by Aero. I never knew it was Connolly till Denny told me.

    Pocket Knife

    Here’s my Victorinox Swiss Tool I seldom carry it in my pocket though as it’s quite heavy. Instead I have a handy little ‘card knife’ in my wallet - it’s a ‘Card Sharp by Iain Sinclair. This is the genuine item designed as a disposable paramedics knife, but sadly there are now plenty of cheap...

    Connolly steer Highwayman

    I hadn’t spotted that - it’s odd that it’s been reclined by Aero labels transferred and the seller is measuring the pit to pit as 23” when the original size label is 46”. Might be worth asking the vendor to post pics with a tape aligned with the usual parts of the jacket - pit to pit, shoulder...
