Nice idea! The Lewis folks put us on their instagram, as I recall.



American Classics. Yes, they are....kinda spendy. The price of a Kelso jacket in there especially, yeesh. Too rich for my blood. I wish there were a few more Buzz Rickson stockists in the UK, though.

November timed with the pop-up would be good, not so close to Christmas so things won't be quite as hectic.

Another place I'd love to work in some time is the Ace Cafe, but being in Stoney Bridge area (NW London, zone 3 on the Bakerloo line), it's not quite ideal for this trip I think. Maybe sometime we should all go en force to one of their rock and roll nights or similar.

Some day we should organise an expedition North for an Aero visit...

ACE Cafe is good.

I have just been to the Clutch Cafe a few days ago, they have this small area with a bench and a few seats. Lewis and Rivets should be easy as there is Fitzroy or Rising Sun just round the corner if you fancy a pint. There's also coffee at the Sharps Barber shop almost next to Rivet and hide. As for the ELC pop-up, there's plenty of choices. For American Classic, there is the Craft Beer pub down the road towards Holborn.

P.S. Not going to buy anything in these places, otherwise my other half will burn me (or my collection) to death......

Nobody bought anything last time, so no pressure here. I also have no plans to buy anything, as I have other engagements regarding jackets :)

Ok, so it is looking like the best date for the meetup is on Saturday the 23rd of November! Who's in? :D

We are potentially doing:
- Lunch
- Shop tour
- Dinner

You can join at any point obviously :)

Not sure about the 23rd.... will have to see nearer the time. I'm in Paris with work already for a chunk of that week, so I may not be allowed out to play. ;)

@Lit Up Selvedge Run would be a fun place to get in, pretty sure the exhibitors get some extra guest passes, but likely not enough for a group.

And how about those who have a grizzly wear it? Good way to get those who don't into the dark side :D

I'm just gagging for a Grizzly!

I've noticed a few Grizly-type jackets on the high street in recent months - faux sheepskins, but with body panels put in in reverse. It's interesting to see that inspiration come round in mainstream fashion, even if the quality is suspect.

I'm about that Saturday up in Shoreditch with the hound for the ELC 'pop up' and a pint. Let me know what time you'll be in that area, would be great to say hello :)
