    Please help me identify the maker?

    I bought (another) cafe racer this morning - smuggled it into the house under my N3B and so far I’m in the clear. I’m not exactly sure of the maker or the age? - any suggestions would be welcome. The main zipper is a Talon as are the sleeve zippers and the pocket zippers are Falcon. It’s barely...

    New Aeromarine jacket, fit advice needed

    The fit looks good to me- don’t worry about the ‘long’ sleeves -they will shorten as the elbow sections develop permanent creases with wear. As for the collar - stand in front of a mirror and check it out in different positions and see which look good to you - then get a second opinion from...

    Current Alpha Industries MA-1 "Classic" Review

    Vanity sizing strikes again - it looks like a triple XL. I’ve got a vintage Alpha made for the European market and its true to size L for a 44” chest. I wonder when brands started pretending they were smaller than they actually are. I remember certain women’s UK brands doing this in the eighties.

    Moc Toe boots

    I found a pair of GH Bass Quail Hunter boots in their sale - reduced to £80 but the fit was too small for me and Sadly they had run out of larger sizes. If you’re in the U.K. they’re worth checking out and they offer a free returns service and the Quail Hunter comes in a variety of ‘lace heights’.

    Bad experience with Aero Leathers.

    Great quote Fonzie In words of Winston Churchill: “You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life”. I liked this quote so I did a bit of research and apparently Churchill either extracted the saying from a Victor Hugo essay or perhaps never said it. I...

    Fit check on Schott Perfecto -- considering going custom made

    Good fit imho - The sleeves will shorten with wear. It’s based on a motorcycle jacket and the sleepers are longer to allow for ‘riding up’ while holding the handlebars.

    Question about Belstaff

    I fancied a wax jacket around 8 years ago and at that time there were few stockists in Sheffield so I went to Sheffield Motorcycle Centre where they had the full range of ‘proper’ Belstaff jackets with pockets for armour. Their leather jackets were really expensive. Instead of a wax jacket I...

    DIY French Cycle Jacket (aka. Luftwaffe Jacket)

    I’m impressed! I’ve bought a couple of nearly A1 style jackets and contemplated modifying them, only to later ‘bottle out’ and sell them untouched. You’ve given me the motivation to have a go next time I find something suitable.

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Two pints of draft Blue Point Toasted Lager, on my first and last visit to a casino - always been on my bucket list and we had an invite to a mates 60th birthday party. I found it interesting at first but quickly became bored. I grew my £10 up to £39 on the roulette and then down to £24 on the...

    Here is why there are so many tiny and so few large vintage hats

    Improvements in diet as time goes on is the main answer not evolution of larger heads as evolution takes a lot longer. Adult size is determined largely by diet prior to puberty. It’s a sad but extreme case but it’s borne out by the current news story of children allegedly imprisoned abused and...

    Help needed to identify a vintage jacket (Scovill zippers)

    I had a Schott in a very similar style - they don’t make it anymore. I’ll check it out and get back - nope not the same.

    Yes that’s the one - but in light brown!

    Need help for identifying an yellow leather-jacket.

    I’ve paused the video and taken a few screenshots but I can’t see a logo or a badge on the jacket and both Barbour and Belstaff jackets usually have a visible logo on the outside - nice jacket though a sort of a cross between Belstaff and a trucker jacket - it’s got button cuffs and trucker...

    Ebay scam

    Ebay scam

    Such a naive approach to business - were it not for sellers there would be no buyers and no profits for eBay or PayPal. What grips my sh one t most is my inability to give negative feedback to time wasting dishonest buyers! Further you can’t even message buyers who send low ball B.I.N. offers...
