    Buying a leather jacket

    Agreed! That would be the exception! And it'd be a motorcycle jacket from a motorcycle store with built in armour - not ELMC or similar, lovely as they undoubtedly are. Dying in style is one thing - not dying at all is another!

    Buying a leather jacket

    I agree. It's what an L2 and just a polo/t-shirt is for. And near/over 70C: just a shirt.

    AL Motorrad Jacke or Cafe Racer

    Good for you for not pulling the trigger on something that doesn't tick all the boxes - yet - as this is an investment that will be putting in many years of faithful service and it should be all that it can be. And yes, there's nothing better than showing up to try on jackets - as it's all very...

    Stink extermination thoughts

    You seem to have done everything right so far …. and I agree with Monitor - I'd leave it outside for as much of a natural airing as possible at this point. When you feel its ready to come indoors again, you could try hanging little pieces of cedar wood on coat hanger hooks and spray them with...

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    I love winter - but I hate this brief time of year which is the transition from winter to spring: and the thawing and defrosting of all the filthy, oily, cigarette butt-filled snow (ice like concrete) banks around the roads. My mountain bike finally succumbed to all the winter riding last week...

    AL Motorrad Jacke or Cafe Racer

    Besides asking us, have you tried calling AL and asking them directly what they think? In my experience, they are very easy and helpful people to deal with and may be able to accommodate you or direct you to something else that would tick more of the boxes you're after …??? If it was me still...

    Aero A2 in Russet Goatskin

    Score! It's always a roll of the dice when buying off eBay, but you scored brilliantly. Well done! A perfect fit, great colour and it suits you, Sir! You wear it well. Thanks for posting!

    Ingrid Pitt from Who Dares Wins (1982) - I love this film.

    All of a sudden.... she woke up!

    I totally understand an airy comment like that! My girlfriend recently saw the photos that I'd taken of me in my ANJ-3 and boy, I knew what was coming - and she asked me who took them? I said that I did - and then she asked why - and I said pleasantly that they were for the fellas on The Fedora...

    All of a sudden.... she woke up!

    Confession is good for the soul, so they say. You may wish to consider it. Or not. In that case, please post pictures from the Emergency Room - or the shed to where you'll be banished! :) But hey, you get the jacket! :) Good luck!

    All of a sudden.... she woke up!

    Oh dear. I do empathize completely. And there's no use in using logic like the fact she has more closet space - or could open an independent shoe store. Oh no. That won't fly. And you were wrong to bring it up. As GTDean says, you just can't beat a good interception on the porch/side door...

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    The tragic Evil Ed (pre-bite) from Fright Night (1985). "Oh, you're so cooool, Brewster!" The best vampire to wear an MA-1!

    My Repaired H&L Block AN6552

    Wow. I'd be thrilled to own that - looks beautiful! Nicely done! And what a beautiful patina. Could be too nice to be hidden away in a wardrobe. I'd want to see it every day.

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    David McCallum in Assignment 2 of Sapphire And Steel (1979). Very creepy then. Still creepy today. Brilliant TV.

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    C'mon guys. The Bar Keep has said to let it go, so let's let it go. I made what I felt was a harmless (albeit off-topic) remark in support of a couple of comments made and we've been called "ignorant" (as a weekly reader of Stratfor, I'm anything but. And believe me, I intentionally come to the...

    Zip it

    I notice that you've not said much since you first aired the question about Aero zips, Willybob - and I was wondering how you now felt after all these fine opinions? If you're still undecided, this is the Aero zip that used to be on my Aero ANJ-3 - in an antique finish that I buffed slightly...

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    Hey, if I'm off-side, I'm the first to admit it. I sincerely apologise Bar Keep for straying off-topic. Duly noted. So back to the famous people in jackets, as you rightly say. Back in 1983, there was a band called Roman Holliday who had a few decent hits both in the UK and abroad and the...

    Aero made me a Lady Shackleton vest

    It looks both smart and classic. Nice! And I love the feel of a good vest, so I'm sure it feels as good as it looks. Thanks for posting!

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    Even though this has now been officially named as the coldest February in 100 years, I'm riding the park systems to and from work (testament to how much I loathe taking public cattle cars!) and last Thursday I rode in to work and nothing was out of the ordinary ... On the way home, I came...
