    Do you wear a fedora with your leather jacket?

    First of all - A fedora and a Irvin jacket is a bad match. Secondly: I don't have a fedora - only a straw Borsalino. And when I wear that it's too damn hot for leather. :)

    As a former owner of one I can only agree to what Andrew said. You get what you pay for - but not more than that. If you want quality, save your money and get a Aero or a ELC. (New or used) Or - if you are in the right size - buy an original!

    Could you survive?

    Advertising was on so of course I could survive. I started in this game before the mac changed everything. So there is no doubt. And if I couldn't I would just join RAf and be trained as a pilot. 1937 would give me 3 years to learn the tricks of the trade before the balloon went up. If I...

    Thanks Andrew. And as a side effect it even feels less "bulky" now when the fleece has - sort of - flattened a bit. Lot easier to wear - can even bend my arms now! lol

    Remembrance of the dead WWII. - today 4th of May

    In my family this little story always comes up the 4th of may: It was my grandmothers birthday and the family was also together on that evening in 1945 although my father (her son) probably had other things on his mind those days. He was in the resistance and knew that it all had to end - and...

    Remembrance of the dead WWII. - today 4th of May

    Denmark too - was liberated on the 5th of May 1945. BBC brought the news at the evening 4th of May - and ever since that day in 1945 people has put candles in the windows, as a tribute to that day and to the many, many people - both danes and allied soldiers - who sacrificed their lives in...

    OK - I went and did it today. The whole jacket!!! The weather was right for it. Sunny and windy....6 hours after it's still wet - but it looks like it works. Will post some pics later.

    If you could live/move anywhere right now, where would it be? Why?

    That can be arranged, Bernie. It's for rent on weekly basis. You just give me a call, when you know, when you are coming over :)

    If you could live/move anywhere right now, where would it be? Why?

    No doubt in my mind. Here: Smack in the Chianti Mountains. Halfway between Sienna and Firenze.

    Your 'Royal" Name

    Lord Charles Andersson-Highfield...??? Wait - got it all wrong. Must be: Lord Anders Peter Charley-Highfield....sounds stupid though! Had another dog once....could be: Lord Anders Peter Tarzan-Highfield. Naaaaa....no good either. I give up.

    Unpopular music opinions

    You know what? I don't like any music from the so called "Golden Days". (30s, 40s or 50s) Can not think of a single number or single artist...does that mean, I am out of here?
