Local news are filled with articles of how you guys aren't "taking the Corona seriously", which I personally believe is BS altogether but I was wondering, what's the general opinion in Sweden about the lack of extremely drastic measurements to avoid calling them dictatorial, some countries have implemented?
I think this approach works fairly well in Sweden, but I don't know if it would work everywhere. We're a small country, high levels of education, high degree of trust in government authorities, low levels of corruption. So most people actually listens to recommendations from authorities. For example the government has not closed down restaurants (yet), but most people have stopped visiting them and there is a big risk that most if not all restaurants will go bankrupt in the coming weeks.
Love that jacket. If you ever want to move that one on, just lat me know. The Connolly HB and I have become best buddies.Channeling my inner @handymike
with leather jacket and sandals today.
1940's? Moosehide? Half Belt. I'd like to get it relined and touched up by Johnson Leathers, some rayon with storm cuffs so the sleeve sits right.

My grail jacket. The shop that sold the jacket to Einstein is still there. It's called Hilton's and is on Witherspoon Street. Einstein would have walked past it on his way to the University from his house. It's a small storefront but goes way into the back and sells jeans, boots, sweatshirts, etc. It's right off Duval Street, the main drag in Princeton and is worth visiting if you're in the area. Right around the corner is Landau's, a great old shop that sells Harris Tweeds, Scneider Loden coats, Irish and Scottish woolies, etc. A great shop and really nice people.Levis Vintage Clothing “Einstein Menlo” jacket
