    Welcome back Big J . . . you were missed!

    Welcome back, Big J! Great to see you back here at the bar ... You've been missed, you know. And if I was able, I'd buy you the first of my prescription for you - a daily ration of Guinness.

    Holy Grail of B-3s, the 1937 undyed sheepskin contract!

    Wonderful. Simply wonderful. What a treat to see this jacket in such pristine condition from so long ago - and to know it is with you, Andrew, is a bonus and a relief. It deserves to be with someone such as you who can both wholly appreciate it and afford to acquire it -- and keep it safe for...

    Scandalous!: Nylon Better than Leather for Wearing?

    I was thinking more about this thread on Sunday as I was doing the household stuff and, of course, in your neck of the woods, Nick, a nylon jacket makes all the sense in the world and I think it's natural to be opting for nylon over leather! An L2/L2-A is the perfect weight and choice for...

    Scandalous!: Nylon Better than Leather for Wearing?

    BobJ beat me to my comment which is that, I agree (with him) in that a fabric jacket (as nice as they undoubtedly are) will look shabbier as the years (decades) go by. Think of a good leather jacket after a decade; it's just gotten warmed up in its characterization. If it has wool shearling...

    Painting Nose Art on an A-2

    Actually, I just reduce the size of the photo on my memory card (to abut 25%) and click Save As and put it on my Desktop - and take it from there ...

    Painting Nose Art on an A-2

    I think you're right, Nick. The Japanese are fastidious researchers and copiers and wouldn't make an rudimentary error like that...

    Painting Nose Art on an A-2

    "Settin' Pretty" ?!? What a place for a typo - the back panel of an A2! Lordy.

    Painting Nose Art on an A-2

    Erm, choosing my words carefully so as to not get any kind of reprimand from the bar keep here, er, I'm not sure many guys'll notice much difference in the backdrop as it tends to fall into the peripheral vision somewhat and isn't what really draws the eye ...! I like both the Lone Star State...

    Painting Nose Art on an A-2

    Good show. I hope you'll let us all see what she does for your A2 ... What's the plan/idea for the design?

    Using "Leather Honey"conditioner on my ELC Irvin (demo)

    Sadly I was limited to 10 images per thread, so here's a visual reminder to remember to use the warm water beforehand!

    Cannabis smell. How to get rid of?

    Sounds like a good excuse to start smoking weed! The jacket will still reek of course, but you won't notice. Or care! Personally, I loathe the stuff. I've never even held a joint, never mind smoked one. I've never understood the appeal of drugs and just think them completely unsafe. If I want...

    Using "Leather Honey"conditioner on my ELC Irvin (demo)

    This is a demo I thought may be interesting to some of you on using Leather Honey conditioner and I’m using my ELC 1942 pattern Irvin for the demonstration. When I first saw this pattern jacket, it was in the old ELC “Golden Book” and it leapt from the pages and said “Buy me! Buy me!” and I...

    Best wishes ...

    Indeed Fanch, and all the best to you too, Sir - and to one and all. And make it a large one, everyone - of the good scotch!

    Well, style you can not buy, style must have

    ... and I was thinking about that party on the dog walk this morning and I realized that I was the only one wearing a tie! And of course, mine's just a regular tie - and I notice that ties have gone skinnier again (to match the slim trousers and form-fitted shirts of course), so I felt that the...

    Well, style you can not buy, style must have

    The expression of an attractive young lady's eyes glazing over first with confusion then turning in to boredom, you mean? Nah. I can live without that. LOL! But I was very glad to be there and I know you'd have loved the party too, as much as you think you may prefer otherwise!! Trust me. It's...

    Well, style you can not buy, style must have

    I agree, Mark. People contributing to threads is the lifeblood of any forum and I hope you do continue to contribute, Panheadfan. And I had to smile at your "Dork in a leather jacket" comment. At the party, I was rather worried that someone was going to ask me what I did in my spare time. Spare...

    Well, style you can not buy, style must have

    It's so funny you mention the cosplay angle, Monitor. I was thinking afterwards on the way home that I could have shown up at that party looking just like Matt Smith's portrayal of Doctor Who - the white shirt and red bow tie, fitted tweed jacket and drainpipe trousers and boots - and would have...
