    My Orvis Flight Deck Cargo Pants and Lambswool Mechanics Sweater

    This just in! Orvis is having one of their one-day sales today with an extra 20% off everything in the sale outlets (and there are 4 of them: New To Sale, Clearance room, Tent Sale and Almost gone) PLUS free shipping (just remember to add in the promotional code!). Worth a look. This is when you...

    My Orvis Flight Deck Cargo Pants and Lambswool Mechanics Sweater

    Exactly - one does need to be careful with Orvis as they can lull one into thinking that the superior prices = superior quality, and that's not always the case, as you say. It's a bit like LL Bean - great and dependable stuff as a rule, but let's face it, not the most stylish of gear and, for...

    How To Paint On A Leather Jacket 101, Part 4: The theory #2

    Hi CBI, Many thanks for your contribution to the thread here (As I said in my conclusion,I knew there'd be some artists out there when I started this thread, but I honestly couldn't put any names to avatars, so to speak, and my way of doing the painting was just one way and there are others, so...

    My Orvis Flight Deck Cargo Pants and Lambswool Mechanics Sweater

    Thanks very much, fellas ! Thanks for the link to ATF, CBI ! I really like their wool scarf already! Must be the one Gregory Peck wore in 12 O'clock High - which I always liked the look of. And yes, I get to know very quickly if I over-do the military look as my girlfriend will let me know in no...

    How To Paint On A Leather Jacket, Part 3: The Theory #1

    Beautiful work! And I know the owner (whom I won't name as he's not around TFL right now, but he's a really great guy) is very happy with it as we discussed design ideas on what he'd like on the back panel in PMs and emails and I asked him in the summer how it had all gone … and he sent me the...

    How To Paint On A Leather Jacket 101, Part 4: The theory #2

    I was thinking about the original Teaser Trailer thread that I created prior to the launch of the 101 threads (which TFL would compile into an Omnibus), and was thinking that there were some nice points made in there, so for anyone interested, it is here...

    Regretting to put patches on my new Aero A-2......

    You'e right about how a zoom affects the exposure/colour, A2 - as do the different artificial light sources. I take clinical photos of my patients and the technical steps in the lab and aim for uniformity throughout the case/between patients with the dept. SLR and I find that the zoom can affect...

    Regretting to put patches on my new Aero A-2......

    I see it too and had wondered about that, but then I just assumed it was lighting. I've just posted photos of my new black lambswool sweater and on one it looks most assuredly like a dark slate grey - but on the next photo, it's very black, which it is. I had a terrible time getting the rest of...

    My Orvis Flight Deck Cargo Pants and Lambswool Mechanics Sweater

    Good day all, Thought I'd show you my most recent purchases from Orvis. I went for the Lambswool Mechanics Sweater in their sale - and only available in black at that time. Originally it was US$98 but it was in the sale with 20% off. But if you wait, days come up with an email notice whereby...

    Thank goodness I live 5,400 miles away . . . .

    It's funny how a Guinness (or similar) is both refreshing on a hot day and yet comforting on a cold day. I've never figured it out why that is. Then I have another and stop caring and just enjoy it.

    Wow! So, this is what Retail Heaven looks like! And the back of the shop is done like an old Nissen hut! How cool is that?! Man, I'd be like a dog in a forest in there.

    So I was chatting with some girl online...

    In a world when meeting people isn't always easy, I just think it's great that one of the good guys managed to break the ice with someone in this way and <blip!> he's on her radar … Fingers crossed for you, Nick.

    Absolutely, Edward. The internet radio is beamed in via an i-Phone 4S, so the old Marantz adds a lovely measure of depth and that delicious Marantz warmth to the digital detail. It's just stereophonic-tastic, mate! Not 'alf!

    Regretting to put patches on my new Aero A-2......

    What can you expect from a bunch of guys who, by their very nature, prefer their jackets from the 1940s and their denim jeans from the 1950s ?! :) Hey, I'm guilty as charged. I still use a flip-phone and prefer my vinyl/20th century hi-fi ! Sure, I love my internet radio in my room here and...
