    Show Me Your Jacket Accoutrements

    But it's odd that, while I find the stink of cigarettes and weed completely awful, I love the waft of a good cigar as its smoker passes by! And some single malt whiskey yes, but bourbon … oh no. It's so strange how tastes can be. Inbox cleared. Thanks! And I was too afraid to ask what was...

    Ha!Ha!Ha! Oh yes, it was regular as she was a straight-laced lady. Gin was her only other poison. That's a funny thought though - it'd never occurred to me in all these years! LOL! No, John Player Specials. Bleeaah. But lighters are cool though! I love the feel, the sound as they click, the...

    Show Me Your Jacket Accoutrements

    Thanks Monitor. I know, I've only tried smoking one cigarette and that was given to me by my grandmother when I was around 6 (around 1972/73). Everyone smoked in those days - James Bond, even the puppets on Thunderbirds between rescue missions! My dad every now and again … and there was my gran...

    Show Me Your Jacket Accoutrements

    My 1972 Zippo that lives in the upper arm pocket on my Buzz L2-A. It seems appropriate - even though I don't smoke! I just love the design cut into the nickel finish of the brass. Nice "Thud" too. And a Minuteman, I suspect!

    Why does Indiana Jones wear a leather jacket in the dessert?

    Thanks. Hmmm. I'm yet to see any of his films, then. No wonder I've not heard of him. He's got a great jacket to fill. Let's hope he can pull it off.

    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    HD, I am not denying at all that something surreptitious happened - it clearly did and I acknowledged that - but I simply cannot comment with any authority on the events as: a) I don't spend all day reading ALL of the threads and I said that I have no interest in civilian designs where much of...

    Patton leads German troops against USSR?

    Interesting points ! Thanks … If only there was a looking glass into a parallel world to see what it could have been like …. for better or for worse? A shame we'll never know.

    Dismissal? Where is my argument for dismissal??? I acknowledged that the stolen goods were found in his house - he was clearly guilty of that and I stated that it was indefensible. I'm being as clear as I can be here. My type literally is in black and white.

    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    I can't honestly say how Will would feel - I've never spoken to him - he just oversaw the work that was done for me, he cut some leather for one of my jackets and all was done well. As for how it'd actually be if he'd sunk Aero - I would sincerely hope that wouldn't happen of course. This is a...

    No, what I would say was that I acknowledged that yes, I worked for that guy and he had that reputation, but I would always add that he was fine with me. I wouldn't lie or even infer that he was anything other than what he was with me. To do so would be dishonest. And NO - it's NOT OKAY to take...

    Of course, you're passionate - as are we all and I fully take your point.

    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    I started my apprenticeship a long time ago working for quite a big name in my field of profession. By all accounts and by so many people, he was a complete tyrant - him and his wife and even his daughter too (she once knocked an old lady over with her car - she got out and berated the old lady...

    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    I was originally referring to the past sniping - back when there was yet to be any perceived victim. It was unpleasant then - and continues today in the same vein but now is suddenly justified. I just find it odd to see so many people who haven't been personally wronged, acting as though they...

    As I Would Go Out Tonight has noted, some of the regular faces - like me - have been conspicuous in our absence on this topic, and I'll go on the record here to say that I come here to relax (alternatively I could be reading up on the news/geo-politics/UK and Ontario politics and be depressed...

    Oh, I can well imagine! And as I know you have a knack for turning up good nylon stuff, if you ever come across a nice vintage N-3A in good condition in a medium, please let me know ! :)

    Thanks for clarifying the warmth value. And the pleasure's all mine on the business. :) The Buzz A-10 gloves from you have also put in sterling service over this last brutally cold and long winter too. Money well spent!!!

    Indeed. And nothing says SAC to me quite like that blue.

    It's a great colour. May I ask, is it warmer than an L-2A ? (am wearing my Buzz L-2A that I bought from you every day and loving it. It's perfect for this time of year and I love the blue!)
