    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    When I was a young lad some 48 years ago, decided to wear the family's buffalo hide coat brought to the US from Canada by my great-grandfather in the 1880's to visit my then 90 year-old great aunt in a neighboring state. Her parents had also homesteaded in Minnesota in the late 1800's. She was...

    What's the worst coffee worldwide?

    Never been to Sumatra. I'm talking about the dark roast Sumatran that Starbucks put out. With its low acidity it makes for a good smooth rich blend.

    Help with Aero Leather Jacket zippers !!

    OK, I recognize this may be comparing apples to oranges. But, $200? No Aero, but I bought a nice thrifted leather jacket this year needing only a new zipper, which cost me a whopping $27. Nor did that zipper behave like the ones described.

    You know you are getting old when:

    I take it you're still employed. Me, been retired 3 years. Grinding 13 hour workday followed by sense of accomplishment eh? Well, that's a nice way to look at it and I suppose retirement can't give you that. But, I'll take relaxing and doing whatever whenever over that any day.;)

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    OK, have to indulge my curiosity. You actually wear leather jackets at the beach in Hawaii? When? Why? Isn't it too warm there to comfortably do that?

    Question About Loosening Up New Replacement Zipper on Leather Coat

    Thanks for your ideas guys. Just tried it on again and zipped up much easier than when I picked it up despite not adding any lubricant. Feel quite lucky to have picked up a quality leather jacket, (the leather guy added he thought it was quite a quality piece himself), which looks barely used...

    So, picked up a great looking leather jacket in quality leather hide and construction in need only of a new zipper for a great price in the local Goodwill. Got it from the repairman today and he pointed out that, as a new zipper, it slides stiffly. I see online that such things as a graphite...

    Question About Cotton Shrinkage

    Thanks for the suggestion. I actually googled how to intentionally shrink cotton PJ's and took the leap of faith to do what I read. Washed the pants in hot and then dried them on hot, while checking the dryer periodically to ensure they weren't shrinking too much. Didn't shrink a lot. Just...

    Question About Cotton Shrinkage

    So I got a 100% cotton PJ set in size M, which I would typically wear, for Christmas. Shirt's fine but the pants are a bit too long and the waist too big. Thinking about washing the pants in warm to shrink them, but, obviously, I don't want that process to go too far. How much shrinkage should I...

    What Do You Wear In Really Cold Weather?

    Supposed to hit around 70F near Christmas, though that's highly unusual here. Generally, though, winter temps here in Kansas are fairly mild. Really cold here would be around 10F to -5F. Have a WWII great coat that is about 10 pounds in weight and so warm I can only wear it when it gets that cold.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Craig looked 50's too in that film. I wouldn't expect some 50 year-old to traipse around the world doing his Bond thing, though.:D

    Turquoise/Native American jewelry

    OK, a hallmark question. So, I also bought a bolo tie at the aforementioned Santa Fe store. It's large having around a 3x4 inch turquoise carved into a face. Quite a deal on that one having paid $45 for it, knowing what bolos that size are being priced at new now. It's hallmark is FV. Could find...
