    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    "Every now and then when your life gets complicated and the weasels start closing in, the only cure is to load up on heinous chemicals and then drive like a ba***rd from Hollywood to Las Vegas ... with the music at top volume and at least a pint of ether." ― Hunter S. Thompson, 'Fear and...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Goat is great for the early part of warmer weathers (I found this in HK especially) and humid temperatures in which horsehide is just too heavy. I've never seen it develop mildew or mould even in summers where the tiling was damp in the apartment most of the day (to be fair, the HH didn't...

    Face Masks And other DIY projects

    Population density has a lot to do with this - in Asia, you're wearing a mask so that you don't cough on to other people. If everyone does this then hopefully transmission is reduced because you're not coughing as much of/any illness through the material (depending, of course, on what it's made...

    Questions about Thedi

    On the Thedi FB page, I see lots of models that I don't see on the regular website- mostly, these look like work coat patterns which I really like (particularly in the similar to battered tan and olive hides). These are also jackets Thedi offers, right? It's not that I'm thinking of ordering...

    POLL: Which jacket do you like more?

    I would definitely dig those stripes while I ate biscotti, blogging in the mall. :) On the other hand, the olive on the Aero is really pale.

    POLL: Which jacket do you like more?

    This is a great colour. The Thedi olive is outstanding.

    POLL: Which jacket do you like more?

    The Maxwell - it'd be better in the darker olive colour seen on the LW's stripes.

    Aero Sheene Fit

    Be careful with sleeve alterations- sleeves are better too long than even a little too short. Extra sleeve length can be compensated for by layering, but sleeves that are too short will be bad over a single layer and comical over a sweater or the like. I have rarely has sleeve shortening done...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    It's on a world tour with a comeback tour scheduled for mid-November. I am in an Aero Maxwell most days (the light isn't very good for pics and I am not very good at taking them, so I'll wait). Aero describes the Maxwell as a 'chore coat'; I'm thinking that I'm going to need some more...

    Face Masks And other DIY projects

    'Everyone else is wearing black surgical mask, like they are ready to root on the streets of Hong Kong' I used to live in Hong Kong. What are you talking about rooting for? What are the bath house references in aid of? What's with all the pictures? Your posts are off.

    Face Masks And other DIY projects

    You need to relax. Maybe a sauna or something. Might be a better use of time than taking pictures of ribs through the windows of privately-owned businesses while wearing a ski mask, particularly when Chinese communities are on edge. People might get the wrong idea and presume that you very...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I'm knocking about the house in my Aero Maxwell in tumbled cordovan. And drinking a glass of red wine in sympathy with its colour. I'm rotating jackets between the Maxwell and a battered seal Cafe Racer - the CR is showing wear with anything I do in it (wine aside) and I really like the hide...

    Aero Sheene Fit

    The length will stay almost the same, down to any change being negligible. If you like the jacket, keep it. The sleeves on my Aero Cafe Racer are probably a little bit long and the back is a little bit loose for most folks here, but what I wear changes the way it fits and hangs and I don't...

    No, warfare did. Bath houses haven't done the current ones in yet, either.

    Face Masks And other DIY projects

    And then there's always a downside. I'd recommend Indonesian coffee, too- much of Indonesia is outstandingly beautiful and worth a visit, or, if bathhouses do indeed lay us low, our culture from Greece to Glamorgan erased in a towel-crack- we'll know where to head.

    Face Masks And other DIY projects

    Going to a bathhouse is a choice to a far greater extent. Deliberately, knowingly exposing an individual to severe or life-threatening infection is considered a crime - it's somewhat more nebulous in the case of aerosol viral transmission until a testing regimen is in place. Whereas I...

    Face Masks And other DIY projects

    These are useful if they keep spray from sneezes and coughs in, which will keep others safe. They won't stop you contracting the disease necessarily, but if everyone wore masks, we'd a) show that we're - at least openly intending to - keep other people healthy and b) remind each other of the...

    Solitude Times

    There is still a misconception that this only affects the elderly or chronically ill, even though current figures dictate that that is not the whole story. As weeks go by, the chief risk is boredom followed swiftly by a secondary frustration with how long this will go on for. China faces...

    Solitude Times

    I reckon that good writing comes out of good reading - when you look at great novelists they tended to be great readers. Writers who made an early impression on me were Burroughs, Ballard and Conrad, although all for very different reasons. 'Heart of Darkness' I re-read every few years. When...
