    New to me Schott car coat

    Only just saw this, really lovely coat. I'm a great fan of leather car coats / blazers / 3/4 length jackets so I love it. Probably one of the most utilitarian designs for leather jackets/coats there are, you'll get a ton of use out of it.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    "The Dead Lands" on an Air NZ flight to NZ the day before yesterday. Set in pre-European NZ, the story of a young Maori chief son's quest for revenge on those who killed his father. Beautifully filmed, well acted, ultra violent - even in the semi-censored plane version. I loved it...

    What's for Dinner?

    Hope all those Stateside had a nice Thanksgiving. I've always thought it's a real wonderful idea for a celebration, shame we don't have anything similar. Tonight will be Gai Yang on the barbie again. Chook has been marinating over night. Can't wait.

    Thanks DH. I was a big Bauhaus fan back in the day as well although haven't listened to them in years. I have an original 12'' of Bela Lugosi's Dead from the 2 weeks when they were on Small Wonder Records in storage, might just be worth something now ;)

    Colditz

    It was certainly widely known by my generation of NZers due to Charles Upham being a guest there and his subsequent decision upon liberation not to be evacuated out but to "do his own thing". I think it's also fairly well known with Brits of my generation and older due to Bader having been...

    El Greco eh? I had to write an essay on him back in the day ;) I loved studying art history Harp and thoroughly enjoyed my 6 years at uni doing it. I've been lucky as it's allowed me to work in both the public and private art sectors, when I haven't been over at the "dark side" moonlighting in...

    Aero leather choices - FQHH, mid-weight horse or goat

    My Barnstormer is completely lined in the cotton drill and I have to say that I love it. Not grabby in the slightest and comfortable to wear.

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Two Paddock's 2013 Picnic Pinot Noir from Sam Neil's (the actor) vineyard in Central Otago, NZ. It was on special so I treated myself. Bloody nice drop it is too.

    What Are You Reading

    Joan Stanley-Baker's "Japanese Art" which is a history from prehistoric times to present day. Very interesting. It's from the Thames & Hudson World of Art series which is generally excellent. I used various books from the series doing my art history degrees and they're very readable whilst also...

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    There's a fellow in Japan who does MA-1 flight jackets and variants of them. This looks almost identical to one of his. I used to have a pic of it saved but cleaned out my folders earlier this year and sadly it got chucked. He's also got a blog page but I can't find it now - maybe someone here...

    Australian cobbler/ bootmaker

    There's a place on Lonsdale in Melbourne, just up from Russell Street which is brilliant. I've had 3 pairs resoled by them this year alone and have used them since we moved here 6 years ago. They are excellent. IIRC they were the first cobbler that RM Williams recommended aside from sending...
