No actually. The show I went to (at the Hammersmith Odeon in London) Dave Lombardo was back in the chair. Tom took great glee from announcing his return, to our great surprise and delight as we thought he'd left.
Different times!
I saw Slayer maybe half a dozen times over the years. Always great fun and hilarious.
The best time was the first time I saw them, on the Reign In Pain tour in 1987. Wowsers.
It's gone cold again and the wind was icy and I was a riot of clashing yellows this morning out in my canvas Carhartt-copy.
It's such an easy jacket. You can throw it on without a second's thought and it's always exactly the right jacket. It's snug enough and roomy enough. It's warm enough and...
I'm afraid I can't help with sizing but I do love the Ariel too.

What's Ship John and why is everyone crazy for their jacket please?
For me it's been the M65 today.
It's been a glorious afternoon, but a bit breezy, so this was perfect.
e: much better photos today as I've found my old camera. Which, although old, is way better than my terrible phone camera.
Could it be that the sleeves are too long because the jacket is just too big? @bizrkartendiankirt, were you able to try on a size down when you got this?
Proportions look better on the Eastman. Relative pocket placement, lapel size, orientation of details.
And the leather looks better.
I'm sure the 5* is excellent, but the Eastman just looks cooler.
This looks fun.
