I must say from downunder fellows you are all looking "pretty wintry" up there in the northern hemisphere !

scarfs, jumpers, wooly hats, layers and gloves.......

Meanwhile, 43 degrees Centigrade (109.4 Fahrenheit) here on Saturday, then 41 degrees Centigrade (105.8 Fahrenheit) yesterday. Hate this weather. HATE!!!! :mad:

Well folks here's a HUGE departure from the norm for me on the Lounge.
St Andrews night down my local pub tonight , traditional Scottish fayre.
Wee lassies Highland dancing , and a live Pipe band in the pub.
My jacket choice for tonight was purchased from this very forum classifieds ( thanks Tweedydon !)
Anderson Tartan I seem to remember from the time.

Seriously in love with this jacket. I feel like I could be happy if this was my only leather jacket. All of these years I’ve felt nothing for cafe racers. Y’all have been posting pics of your cafe racers and I’ve been yawning. I bought this just to give the style an honest chance. I couldn’t imagine I would enjoy it this much.

I feel EXACTLY the same about my (one and only) cross-zip.

Funny how that works.

Yes, I imagine how I’ve felt about cafe racers is similar to how some feel about cross-zips. I was afraid that I would look like a cosplay biker in a cafe racer. But that’s not how I feel at all wearing it.
I never had that fear about the cross-zip, it’s not primarily associated with bikers for me, more with punks and metal heads tbh.

what size jacket and what's your height/weight. I've been looking for an older one but can't figure out if I'm a 38 or 40. you've got a perfect fit. And is that nickel hardware? I thought they came in brass usually?

I'm 178cm and 75kg. Mine is size 38, comp weight, with brass hardware version. TBH, the hardware is a bit too bright to my taste, not sure how many years it would take to look vintage :)
