You Had It, But Sold It (and now You're Sorry)
'69 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. Although, it was my father sold it to the junk man because I didn't have the money to have it towed home after I blew the second engine...so I don't know if that counts.:rage: :D- celtic

as niCe as an AERO or LEWiS at 3% the co$T???
To be quite honest, I am very frugal out of necessity. But I don't think that I'd buy a rubber jacket simply out of comfort, not so much as being a snob. You can buy a used leather jacket on the cheap, and if you're looking at the rubber for the weather, waxed cotton would also breathe a...- celtic

i could be wrong, because to be quite honest I was having a hard time understanding his writing style, but I think he is saying that this jacket is everything we wouldn't buy (because it is made in china and isn't leather: it's made of PVC rubber) but maybe we should buy because it's only...- celtic

Who Makes a Nice Pea Coat?
I don't think there's much taper. I will have to pull it out and take a closer look. Unfortunately it's a size too large (I now wear a 40R and I bought it when I was a 42R) so I won't be able to get an entirely accurate answer for you. I can get you measurements if you'd like. I noticed on...- celtic

Who Makes a Nice Pea Coat?

The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard
not the dumbest ever, but... Wearing a shirt/tie, trousers, cordovan wingtips, a brown flat cap and a tan trenchcoat. A coworker I only see rarely said "Wow look at you...you look just like Inspector Clouseau! You even have wingtips on. You're really dressed to the nines" I was a... -

Does washing/soaking leather jackets substantially harm them or weaken the leather?
If you're wearing it for protection on a motorcycle, I'd advise against it because leather loses its abrasian resistance and becomes dry after soaking and drying multiple times. Of course if you condition it every time it gets soaked through, you'll obviously remedy this mostly. However, if...- celtic

Male Facial Hair Care
My opinion is that many women think too much about their own eyebrows. While I don't like a the unibrow or fuzzy caterpiller look, I am not a big fan of the shaved, penciled-on look nor the sculpted dyed look. In my opinion, eyebrows should almost go completely unnoticed... It's when...- celtic

Caps and gowns and flip flops
It really depends. Some times brands indicate quality.... but more and more when products are outsourced so much, certain 'brand name' merchandise is often made in the same factory as non-branded things. are a pair of blue jeans really WORTH $50? $100? $350? i'm sure some here will...- celtic
