    Spitfires at Duxford

    I lived close to Duxford for some years and it was always a treat to have so many lovely aircraft overflying our place every now and again. I have attended Flying Legends on a number of occasions including as a guest in the VIP enclosure, the mass flypast at the end never fails to impress...

    Where the bowler lives on.

    Tailors Catalogues

    By rights there should be a box of mostly bound vintage Tailor & Cutter magazines up in my loft that were given to me over thirty years ago by a tailor I worked with who had been in the trade all his life and who was then in his mid seventies.

    Show NO Shirt Cuff

    Gloves or not they certainly feel better when you've been standing at your peg on a bitter winters day waiting for the birds while the wind and sleet whips around your ears, you hunch up and withdraw your hands up into the sleeves a bit.

    Show NO Shirt Cuff

    Comparison of Wax Cotton jackets

    Barbour's have been in existence for decades and I'm not sure of the feasibility of obtaining their wax treatment recipe. I've worn them for work (gamekeeping) and sport for decades and if properly looked after (regularly re proofed etc) they will last the average user many years. However as...
