    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Just watched "Arabesque" with Sophia Loren and Gregory Peck, filmed in 1965 on location in England, and at the risk of sounding shallow, I can't imagine that a more beautiful woman has ever walked this planet. Developing my observations of Sophia’s stunning looks in this film, I’ve just been...

    Aero 30's HB armhole

    My thoughts are that the 30s styles aren't really made for layering, so best to go with a 38 for a trim look and just wear a shirt. Like Schitzo says, if you want to layer, then a 50s 38" would have been plenty big enough. I've been through the same issues and just had to admit that I'd bought...

    The dreaded inside pocket question

    Aero add a full FQHH patch inside to reinforce the opening and it's that that shows through. I did wonder if leather was necessary at all and whether or not corduroy or moleskin would do the job less obtrusively, but there must be a good reason for it.

    The dreaded inside pocket question

    I've had both studded and zipped inner pockets, but my latest two haven't had any because in my experience they do show through. I reckon the zipped one shows through more, but the stud itself can be obvious as well. A compromise which might work is an unsecured inner pocket, as Fanch had on...

    Gustin Jeans Selvage Denim made in SF

    I bought the wallet at the same time as a pair of jeans, but there's no sign of them on the horizon.

    Mackenzie Bags - Briefcases, Belts, Bags

    The satchel has arrived and I like it a lot. It's in brown oil-pull leather with green pigskin lining and has a nice thick feel to the leather. It's 40x30x11cm and should look good after it's been knocked about a bit and suffered some scratches. I have another bag coming in a week or so...

    Gustin Jeans Selvage Denim made in SF

    I received my October delivery natural wallet today, so a bit early. It's ok, probably worth $28 inc p&p, but I prefer my Mulberry one at four times the price. Having said that, I like the look of the new burgundy one and would rather have had that instead.

    Very nice. A serious bit of leather.

    horsehide jacket - how long to break-in?

    Too bad you didn't order last year and you'd have been two-thirds of the way there and saved on wardrobe space to boot. ;)

    horsehide jacket - how long to break-in?

    Yeah, the weight of FQHH has never been even noticeable to me. I sometimes wonder if those who think it's too heavy haven't got a dodgy storse one without realizing it.

    horsehide jacket - how long to break-in?

    I only ever put thin things in the pockets, like a credit card holder as anything thicker does give an unsightly bulge. Mind you, I do wonder why the inner patches need to be FQHH and not just moleskin or similar which would surely eliminate the problem.

    horsehide jacket - how long to break-in?

    I'm the same now. My last two orders are without inner pockets. Better putting the £20 or £40 towards a shirt with pockets and save the look of the jacket.

    You're almost there, glasshoppa. How's your footwear looking? I'm sensing something like Red Wings or Lennons might do the trick, and only then can you take your foot off the gas.

    Gustin Jeans Selvage Denim made in SF

    They look good. I'm glad it worked out for you. Your new belt looks seriously chunky with them, too. I have a pair of Heavy Americans theoretically incoming next month, so I hope they work out as well as yours have.

    New Aero Multi-Panel Irvin (pic heavy)

    By coincidence, I saw someone wearing what was probably a mall Irvin with a lighter fleece today in Edinburgh and thought it looked pretty good. I can only imagine how much better this version will look in real life, especially after it's been roughed up a bit. If it wasn't for the waiting...

    New Aero Multi-Panel Irvin (pic heavy)

    Very nice indeed and a great fit. I like the panelling a lot and look forward to seeing it in the flesh.

    Indiana Jones' origins: An interview with costume designer Deborah Landis

    Nice to see a Hollywood type embrace grey. Says good things about her. Apropos nothing at all, that's my wife's alma mater, so smallish world.

    Thurston Bros. - Official Affiliate Thread

    True, but I'd rather pay a bit extra to get exactly what I want. Surely we Brits could come to some arrangement with Insurrection to get on their quick deliveries? An extra profit contribution offset by no transatlantic delivery charges, maybe. That way we both win. 6 months is mental...
