    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    My wife often listens to an oldie radio station and whenever I hear the Bee Gees come on singing, "More Than a Woman," I can't help but laugh at the modern connotations you can embellish that title with. The Mrs, of course, thinks I'm childish but at least fun.

    Pike Brothers jackets, trousers etc.

    I guess it must be 3 years ago I purchased a pair of their 1966 low quarters boots. I'm very pleased with them, they're sturdy and comfortable and are worn weekly.

    Master supply co leather jacket

    Apparently Master Supply Co are doing a collaboration with Bates especially aimed at the market of people who like to go to established clothing forums and behave like complete wankers. It's called the MasterBates model.

    Where has everyone gone to ?

    Good to see you back Frank. I miss the days of Baron Kurtz, Forgotten Man, Resortes805 and Marc Chevalier and their exceptional contributions, but there are still a few of us long-standing members still about.

    Chinese leather jackets

    A while back Ali Express had some two-tone brown and black aviator jackets (I think they were Tailor Brando) that I wished I'd jumped on at the time. I haven't seen them for ages. I hope they put those out again.

    Master supply co leather jacket

    He's not the first, sadly won't be the last. A modicum of respect wouldn't have hurt him. I've been here since 2004 and been a member since 2006, and I still learn something every time I check out this forum, which is sadly not as often as I used to have time to. Bottom line, some people are...

    1930s style suits by jcco_sh on Instagram

    Thanks Johnny. My way cool tailor retired a few years ago. He's now 82, made me some killer suits over the years. So I'm in need of a good tailor!

    BRACES (SUSPENDERS)

    Option 1 for me. It's more important to me that the leather match ends match the suit and though they are lighter than the shoes, they're both still tones of brown.

    Explain the 3-Sphere to me.

    Back in May 2004, in New Scientist Edition 182, science writer and plasma researcher Eric Lerner wrote an article about 33 leading scientists who had written what they termed an 'open letter to the scientific community.' The letter included the following statements from those scientists: "The...

    Who Gets to Wear Workwear?

    No you look like the actual real deal to me. No rhinestones on you El Marro!

    Nah Aussies can beat you guys with hot cross buns out for Easter December 27. I'll see your Valentine's Day and raise you an Easter! Crazy, just crazy.

    Nostalgic Memories of Long Gone Retailers

    Lots to remember. Gowings menswear in the city, sadly missed. Knock and Kirby's hardware are long gone. Waltons department stores, Keith Lord furniture and also Joyce Mayne furniture. There were grocery stores like Safeway (Red S) that might still be around in other states but gone from NSW. And...

    Who Gets to Wear Workwear?

    Generally I don't care what people wear so long as it makes them happy. There is, however, one thing that annoys me and that is inner-city people running around dressed in cowboy shirts, boots and ten gallon hats, driving enormous Ford pickup trucks (you can't even park those in a city with...

    Under-Reported Good News

    Indeed. I was able to go for a walk with my 11 year-old son (kicking a soccer ball around all the way) last night from 7:20-8pm, and the sun still had more than 5 minutes before setting for summer solstice here.

    I would say Susan Gill is the most obvious candidate for 'Guardian'. But like so many stories of this kind, there remain far too many unanswered questions and, for some mysterious reason, it seems like this case and others like it are never investigated deeply enough.

    @GHT I think the keys are egged on by the aforementioned socks, who show them all the best hiding places throughout the house. It's like every second key (or sock) has a decent slice of David Copperfield in them.

    Oumuamua

    I hadn't heard of the Guardian case before (of course I do live on the other side of the globe!) but it's certainly intriguing. While some of it sounds plain fanciful, after the 'pandemic' and the way it was handled in this country, I have very little trust that the government truly has the best...

    Extremely Customized Himel Bros Grizzly

    To my taste, the best Grizzly I've ever seen but as it's you, Jake, I wouldn't have expected any less. I hope you're struttin' around like the King of the Hill in that fine garment loving every minute of wearing it, 'cause you oughta be. A totally killer hide combination.
