Rogue Territory Supply Jacket arrived. It's a nice thing, but I should have got the lined version. Unlined feels a bit insubstantial even though it's a really tough material.
This Café Racer in battered seal. I've smashed the hell out of this over a few years. I need to lose a bit of weight, though, as it's getting tighter... The tan steer hide one is the same size, so now I have two reasons to lose the extra...
