I don't think ownership of a BR jacket necessitates a the purchase of a bike. It's a cool design, but nobody has ever asked me what a ride. But I live in Glasgow, and the weather makes biking a less common hobby.
Well, this is a theme we can play with forever; work wear is cool looking, but many a guy in snazzy repro work wear hasn't done a day of labouring in their life. Carry a pocket watch? Why, when you've got a cell phone that does the same job? Some fellas like vintage suits, but is it 1940 (thank-the-f-not) and does it matter? This site celebrate anachronisms, superfluities and contradictions. Good.

I ordered one in battered tan with all the usual features, 4 pockets and everything zippered. I don't ride, don't see it in my future, etc. but just reckon the style is nice.
