    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I got a notice from Network On Air that, for this week only, they are having a 60% off sale on their ITV programmes - and there are some real bargains to be had for a TV fan of 40 yrs up. Sure, there's a lot of dross and it amazes me how some of the stuff of the past has even managed to be...

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    And no more damned mosquito bites thanks to the warm, wet summer. I've had quite enough of those for another season. If I wasn't going by "Stand By", I could use "After Bite". I should have shares in the darn stuff. The cool feels sooo good.

    ALL REPRO R.A.F. Irvin type jackets

    Just in case anyone was needing some Irvin jacket porn, I see that Network is having an amazing 60% off sale this week and the complete series of Piece of Cake is up for grabs at a mere 2.80 Pounds ! http://networkonair.com/shop/955-piece-of-cake-the-complete-series.html *Do note that this is...

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    I hear you about it being tough crawling out from under the warm bedding … - especially to go outside and get two dark dog walks in! And yes, it's always the same every year - like a switch gets clicked somewhere and that's it. Game Over. Fall has arrived. But I really don't mind. I love...

    Show Me Your Jacket Accoutrements

    And this remains my favourite acroutement of all. It's a "Spirit of '43" pin, made by Amico and of sterling silver and enamel. As my Aero ANJ-3 was unique to 1943, I wanted it to go on the jacket somewhere and it resides under one of the pocket flaps (for protection) so it isn't seen, but I know...

    By the time I reach Phoenix...

    As I said, the moon is something else down there. I accidentally got my old camera damp and it died - so a few years ago I replaced it with a new one and it's another Canon point-and-shoot type, but the quality of it is amazing and things had really come on since my previous one; and it's almost...

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    I hear you, Jaoa. I went home one time in the late Autumn for 2 weeks and the only jacket I took was my Irvin - and the sodding wind and rain was relentless the entire time. That collar started to feel like a dead drowned cat around my neck after a few days. The rain was ridiculous - the way the...

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    I hear you about that distinctly cool breeze blowing the curtains last night - it felt so nice! The Aero ANJ-3 came out this week - along with the Flight Utility cargo pants from Orvis. Made of "Britain Cloth", they're a very substantial cotton and only now (Fall-like temps) is it suitable to...

    Show Me Your Jacket Accoutrements

    It's funny - I was watching an episode of Modern Family just last night and Jay mentioned having a nice scotch, which he often does - and there he was with a nice large whisky glass and he twirled it slightly … and just the sight of it was irresistible to me! (I think that's the subliminal lure...

    Leather trenchcoat

    Perhaps the best example I can think of where dressing like one's hero from the movies illustrates the point that reality is far from the fantasy: I mean, I doubt there is isn't a man out there who's ever watched Clint Eastwood in any of his spaghetti westerns and seen that poncho and not...

    Leather trenchcoat

    Both of ELC B-2 caps get worn a lot too, Worf - but before dawn! And I love them. But when it gets daylight and I'm out with my lady, the black and navy Buzz watch caps come out. I don't need to invite flak.

    Leather trenchcoat

    I agree, DD. I think we should dress respectfully for other people around us (and I do) - and I believe that compromise is the best way forward in most things in life, especially with jackets; Hence, the duster went out and the Barbour came in and I'm seriously good with that. Sometimes it takes...

    Leather trenchcoat

    I think that, in this day and age, anything goes. I'm reminded of that wherever I see people in this city. If something like that coat feeds your soul for whatever reason (like a nice B-3, Irvin or A2 etc does for so many of us here - me included!), just wear it and feel better for it. Why not...

    By the time I reach Phoenix...

    I was at a conference in Tempe, AZ one year and we did a jeep ride out into the desert one late afternoon, returning after dusk - just sensational. I highly recommend that if you are able to swing it. Just make sure you have room on your camera's memory card and a fully-charged battery. The...

    German flag WWII ??

    I saw this on a militaria website and it's vaguely similar - perhaps it is also a minefield/gas warning like this one? http://www.germanmilitaria.com/Heer/photos/H014074.html

    B3 jacket correct length

    It looks perfectly fine from where I'm sitting. As stated already, it's supposed to be short by design and yours looks good and well-proportioned to me. I'd open a beer, kick back and relax about it. It fits great and is a nice looking B3!

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Netflix has a newly-released documentary on Bulger - I saw it at the weekend. It was very good. Tragically sad indeed for one of the principle witnesses - who got the last word in. Posthumously.
