    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    I'm reminded of what my father would likely say to that photo: "Christ. Imagine his son watching the telly and him saying "There he is. That's my dad." Pass the scotch, Vicar. We're using the large glasses today.

    Meanwhile on another thread, Cuchulain is complaining that his new Aero FQHH jacket is too stiff. Is the modern solution actually "Peekaboo lace" ?

    It's marketing and The Next Big Thing. That much I get, Edward! But that's all.

    I'm sorry Edward. I've read your reply twice and I still don't understand you. (I'm laughing - couldn't resist! You know I like you!). But seriously. Seriously? Genderfluid is what they call it. Get a load of this from the article - just a snippet: "Vogue, never one to miss out on a trend, is...

    New jacket issues

    I'm no expert here (unlike the others who have already commented) as civilian and motorcycle jackets aren't my bag and I honestly don't know the difference between Shinki or Horween leathers - they're really just names to me as I've never experienced them. However, I know a good looking and...

    You know how it was in the old Warner Bros. cartoons when an anvil would appear in the sky and drop on someone? It looks like that happened to it.

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    Lordy!!! And on the madness goes. I just flew out to Utah and had a look-see in the in-flight magazine and I came across an article on the proliferation of "gender-neutral" clothing lines - it's getting big (apparently). In all honesty, I had to read it twice to try and digest it - it was the...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks! And amen! Utah is the most beautiful state I've ever been to in the US and the level of ease and comfort at the hotels (one being The Montage. 8300 ft up!) is off the chart and is beyond anything I've ever experienced - it's almost unsettling as it really isn't me. The fact that my...

    New Eastman Leather Clothing "Escape" A-2

    It sold for US$645. It looks beautiful to me. Someone somewhere got a winner. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141899647245?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

    Man, so someone got a deal on that ELC "Hitz" A2 that just sold on eBay then! Lucky bugger.

    Aero Maxwell

    I'm glad to see that all's well that ends well, MRB, and you're happy - as you ought to be - it looks good from up here! It's certainly a great jacket that you can dress up or down. That's always good! Wear it in good health! PS. And don't fret about the "Fred Flintstone" shape. We all wish we...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I'm glad the jacket was successfully moved on, Nick. Good call. Something better will appear - and it'll be a keeper! As I said, I was in Park City, UT for a week as my girlfriend was away on business and her company generously flew me out as her "+1" and I feel incredibly privileged as they...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I've been away in Utah for a week or so and am just catching up on some threads here … That's a great jacket Nick - but I have to say, in all honesty, I think it's too small and it looks like it belongs to someone else. I'd want someone to tell me. Back in my single/condo days, I used to have a...

    New A-1/37J1 Jacket from Pop's Leather

    Very nice TPD. It looks the part - and it's always good to see a happy customer - especially whereby not everything has to be high-end to make one happy. I think a lighter weight jacket like your A1 is the perfect choice for Texas too! Not too warm on the warmer days and just warm enough on the...

    What leather conditioner do you use?

    I've used RM Williams conditioner on many of my jackets, A-10 gloves and B-2 for many years and it's brilliant stuff. It does darken leather a titch at first, but it works an absolute treat making the leather deliciously supple and rich and it's not greasy, absorbs well and it doesn't separate...

    Replacing Air Force Issued A-2

    Good day Paximus and welcome to the Lounge! Interesting. Y'know, if it was me, I think I'd also consider an A2 from Aviation Leathercraft. https://www.flying-jacket.com/index.aspx I wore one of their Irvins and A2s for many years (1987-2005) and they both served me very well. The A2 was in seal...

    New AL Roadster in FQHH Havana Brown

    Darn right it was cool! No more proof of that would be to take a look at The Rocketeer movie (still brilliant IMO) and, as if the hero wasn't cool enough with his clean-cut good looks and nice demeanour and that leather jacket and helmet (and Jennifer Connelly for a girlfriend!!!), it's only...
