    Belgian Military Leather Coat

    Well, gents, you all just cost me some money :) Based on your commentary, I figured a heavy leather jacket for under $100 was worth pulling the trigger on. I decided to go with a size large as I usually wear a 42 but wanted a bit of room for layering so just subtracted from Scott's size...

    Where did your user name come from??

    Rather dull for me, it's just my initials. I never get to use the "III" part anywhere. I should have been an attorney because that would look good on business cards.

    Show Us Your Handwriting - Vintage Penmanship!

    I'm not sure this falls under penmanship (which requires skill, I think), but I just got a fountain pen with an italic nib on it and the way my writing looks is staggeringly better. Not sure if that's because I have to keep the pen at one angle to make it work or just what, as I've never used an...

    leather jackets

    I guess I am far enough west that I do see leather jackets/coats in the winter. Wool, too. Or, maybe those are just what I notice.

    Essential Books every Gentleman Should Have?

    Hopefully, I would be judged well. I don't know how many volumes, but well over 125 feet of shelving........ Bachelor of Journalism is my bragging deal (not quite sure that's something to brag about, as Journalists tend to be such jerks :eek: ) All that said, my most read book is the Bible.

    Tornado

    Outstanding. I love trains. Didn't think anyone would be building a new steam locomotive.

    When your told to put down the gun... DO IT!

    "Unfortunate but predictable..." Absolutely. If I were LE and had someone pointing a rifle in my direction, I'd give them a second's warning and fire. As a civilian, I would just open fire. Sounds like a really bad series of events.

    Show us your Guns!

    Absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing the great photos. I am envious!!! No point in showing my gun :( - it's just an ugly Glock 19, but it works. I would love to have something engraved. The perfect BBQ gun :D

    Inadvertant Advertisments

    I don't wear Levi's only because the company is anti-gun. But, I wear Wranglers and don't mind the patch on the back pocket. People choose to buy things with a logo on them. Harley-Davidson has been running about $900,000 a quarter on T-shirts. My bike says "Harley-Davidson" on it, so does my...

    How many leather jackets do you own!?

    I'm going to need a reinforced skull when I order an Aero Barnstormer and then tell my lovely bride what it cost. :eek:

    They drive me to drink...

    And I have about five hours to wait until I will be home with a beer. Need to remember to pack a beer with me in case I run across that image again!

    BBC: Ban The Bulldog or No Crufts on TV!

    As I sit here while my Jack Russell continually brings me toys to toss in the air for her, while our German Shephard is asleep next to my wife - and I hear my Boston Terriers snoring in the next room - and after over 20 years of breeding Rhodesian Ridgebacks, I think that variety is good and...

    BBC: Ban The Bulldog or No Crufts on TV!

    Rhodesian Ridgebacks made their list. Interesting. I wonder how they determined genetic problems with this breed since the origin is rather clouded. {Oh, and I have nine dogs so I definitely favor anything that protects a dog's welfare, though I'm not sure that's what the BBC is...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    I second celtic's reply. For dollars to quality - Chippewa USA are great. I have a couple pair and while beat to pieces are not worn out. Spent many miles on motorcycle pegs and many hours in dirty factories around big leaking equipment. Never could afford Wesco but have never heard a bad word...

    "Undiscovered" Frank LLoyd Wright House

    Saw this and had to laugh - this is so true. I grew up in St. Louis, where as a kid, it seemed like every house was designed by FLW - or, a copy of his design, or the house had "elements" of his design, and on and on. My big fort in the basement (a large cardboard box) most assuredly had FLW...

    How many leather jackets do you own!?

    This is a great thread! I feel much better. I "only" have maybe six and three of those are just black motorcycle jackets. I have one A-2 Aero that I just bought used. This means I am forced to do some additional collecting - in the interest of getting my numbers up to a respectable average. :D

    Flight jacket repair?

    Thank you! I honestly never thought of just sewing the holes shut - which would be a perfect solution for me.

    Eagles Lodge - enjoy the people and the privacy. Different from a public tavern. I can relax there.

    Flight jacket repair?

    Well, I just bought an Aero A-2 from a private seller, the jacket is about year 2000 with the red silk (?) lining. He didn't bother to tell me that the lining around the collar has multiple holes in it. So, I paid too much and now want to get this repaired - and cannot afford sending the jacket...
