While watching the BBC documentary Britains's Great War, I started wondering what brand of leather coat the presenter Jeremy Paxman wears in the series - does anyone know?
Brilliant jackets Andrew - I had one briefly but the inner zip was badly damaged so I replaced it with an Aero 'Brando' in horse hide and sold it on eBay. Naturally I regret it now but I needed the funds at the time. Rob
Got a pair of Chelsea dark tan lace/ups Blundstone for £15 from a charity shop in new old stock condition. From what I can find out on 't'internet they were made in the Australian factory before production was outsourced to Asia. Pics to follow but a well made steel toed work boot. The id came...
I came across what I thought was a 'one off' Aero jacket in mint condition brown FQHH - but Holly/cloudylemonade confirmed it was an HG5 - no longer made. The label inside showed it was put together by JL - brilliant workmanship and a really comfortable (and I think good looking) jacket as...
The coldest 'weather' i've been in was in the Summer of 1976 in Nottingham UK when my last holiday job before taking up a teaching post was working as a packer for Walls Ice Cream. It was a record heatwave but I spent most of it at -15 degrees C wearing what I was told was Canadian Army Arctic...
Thanks Tom -it looks much better than a number of more expensive A2s I've seen. It will be interesting to see it in a year or so when it's been broken in.
But as I mentioned above There are plenty of manufacturers with Alexander in their title eg Alexander McQueen and these items cloud a search for an actual Alexander Leather Selkirk jacket. Perhaps eBay could publicise how to turn off the near miss search and only throw up exact matches.
Absolutely!- Eames, Arne Jacobsen to name just a couple of designers whose designs are almost impossible to sift out. I've started searching under the manufacturers name e.g. Herman Miller, Vitra, Fritz Hansen etc as they tend to enforce their trademarks. It sometimes works the wrong way round...
Nope I'm wrong - this is a different seller - you still get Aero Adventures listings - wonder if the latter will complain to eBay about Areo Adventures listings encroaching on his trademark? Alexander Leathers jackets are v good quality - it should be enough to list them under their own name.
Good to see its now Areo Adventures so it doesn't come up so high in a search for Aero Leathers. I hate those listings that sprinkle in Aero, Lost Worlds etc. etc. in the title - as if those searching for Aero or Lost Worlds would be interested in their tat.
Mind you a search for Alexander...
From my limited research while trying to modify a Barbour International to take a hood:
The generic terms for these types of fasteners are the ones mentioned above, snap fasteners, poppers, press studs etc. The ones with prongs - central or arranged in a ring seem to be a design feature used on...
Badly titled ref. searching - in listing so you might be one of the few to see it
