Midnight Blue Highwayman yes? no?

[Seb Lucas]

I had a dark blue bike jacket a Vanson Enfield style - looked pretty nice but wasn' radical enough to provoke reactions. In 5 years no one really noticed since dark blue is close enough to black. I like blue as a variation on the norm.

That's the one I was thinking of... but there's a ton of great options. Too much blue here???

I think this is it. Good call.

Also pretty fond of the McMillan/Buchanan ranges, but I think this blue is perfect...21 pages later.

 

[tropicalbob]

That does look great.

 

[nick123]

Well, I just bought a new guitar amp. So much for that.

Huh?!
You have to love the way in which we addicted, enabling, perfectionist, experts can obsess over the smallest things for so long & then on a whim, just change direction like that!
I really want a new jacket / bag / pen / watch, oh but that guitar amp is just what I NEEDED!!

I love this place!

You could at least post a pic of the new amp Nick

 

[nick123]

Doesn't mean I'm out. Just a temporary diversion. If the blue leather sells out, so be it. I hope it does and makes some gents/ladies happy, as it looks great.

Yeah, I'm impulsive.

Damn it man!

You were supposed to be our Guinea pig....

Aren't we all!

 

[tropicalbob]

Yeah, c'mon, Nick! You've got a bunch of dirty old men sitting on the edge of their rocking chairs waiting to hear of your exploits with girls, blue leather jackets, and amps!

Dig it. Would be a great bit of kit to wear while getting funky with the guitar....

I do it all the time. Agonise over a jacket and save for a while, can't decide on something silly like a thread colour, and then Wham Bam new handlebars on the motorbike, or a few new books... It happens so quick, then for the email, hi(whoever I've been annoying for weeks re my new jacket specs) something has come up, thanks for several hours of your time, I will back not so soonish.....have a great day, and thanks again!

Yeah blue is too much, buts inner side do it does not matter much I suppose

Good point. I've thought about that too. Perhaps a red cotton drill after all. I think it would match the label better.

 

[nick123]

Purple or yellow tartan would work too. But I'm thinking temperature now. Sure, it's cool enough right now in SoCal, but maybe the drill would be marginally more versatile. Idk. I've always lusted after the tartans though. That's what initially drew me to Aero.

In blue tolex?

Holy hell now I'm contemplating Cherry FQHH.

A very good response, I really enjoyed, thumbs up

Two tone cherry and midnight?

Actually, I'm a big fan of the cherry.
