    How to wear a Full length Leather Jacket ?

    Celebrate the slovenly for they are the backdrop against whom the rest of us are weighed, measured, and deemed not wanting.

    How to wear a Full length Leather Jacket ?

    “The great coat was a standard item of uniform for all ranks in the German military. As officers were responsible for purchasing their own uniforms and were given a clothing allowance, they were permitted to wear a leather version of the standard greatcoat. Shortages meant leather military...

    You Sir, are correct.

    How to wear a Full length Leather Jacket ?

    There is one military group in particular amongst whom wearing a long leather coat was commonplace. They didn't wear them as long as the one you're considering and they also were known for being strikingly well dressed. None of them looked ratty and their leather overcoat was part of a formal...

    How to wear a Full length Leather Jacket ?

    Knickers, knee high boots, a monocle, and a riding crop. Or not. I've looked at them before and wondered. My impression has been that if you're going to give it a whirl the rest of what you're wearing must be very well chosen... like a white shirt and brightly colored tie kind of thing...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    The more I think about it the more I have a vague recollection of having seen one before and not known what it was. Regardless, I couldn't get the idea out of my head and decided my next would have one. I bought it tonight. Selentino. You all are getting to be spendy associations.

    Stupid Question: selling hats

    I agree w/ Belfast's comments and would add one aspect that may merit consideration. It is that you're listing it here first as a professional courtesy to other like minded folks w/ a known appreciation for the same thing you like. That carries with it a connotation and it is that this group...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Hmmm... does it count as a 'win' if you bought and paid for the hat but had to pay more for it than you were expecting? I just 'won' this hat from 2005. The color will pair nicely w/ a leather jacket but the Indiana Jones factor will be very high. Might need to start carrying a whip into...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Very interesting. I had incorrectly assumed that a stingy would look right on a smaller head and not right at all on a bigger head. Your post blows that idea right out. I'm between a 7-5/8 and a 7-3/4 and figured a narrow brim would never be in my future. In your photo both hat and fit...

    That wind guard is not mentioned on their website. Bummer, too. Looks like it might be pretty handy for cold country.

    How has your taste in leather jackets changed over the years?

    I see a reference to motorcycles and leather jackets in these threads a lot. I am a motorcyclist by most rider's standards and have ridden from the top of the world to the bottom and most of the way around. I can tell you two universal truths through the eyes of nearly any guy that rides...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Interesting. I've seen the 'other than' thread but never noticed the eBay thread. I'm guessing it doesn't stay on the front page for some reason. Huh. Thanks... and I'll root around for it.

    How has your taste in leather jackets changed over the years?

    When I ponder the question I don't think much has changed. When I look in my closet the changes are stark. In the earlier years it was B-3, CR, and that soft and thin caramel colored jacket that was common years ago. The CR's from that era are loud and not the kind of jacket you could wear...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Interesting. I don't know much about eBay but assumed that hats would turn at the same interval as jackets and the 'other' forum is littered w/ eBay finds. I'm looking at one now on eBay and sadly, it qualified as a deal up until yesterday when the bidding went crazy. It's a roughly 20 year...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    I've noticed something else that's happened often enough now that it's definitely related. People are generally a little kinder to a man w/ a gray beard and a fedora than they are to the same guy w/out. At the post office women hold the door for me and then say something about 'oh, you don't...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    In the leather jacket section there's a thread that's always on the first page and it's their Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition. I've wondered why there isn't something similar here in the hat forum (and now there is). Do hat types just want to hog them all or is there a different...
