i heard stories about the headless hiker, I guess it’s true.

The headless hiker.

Yeah, why such a blank look?

You guys who are in Terry's size are really lucky. All you have to do is to convince him to sell.

Easier said than done!

In NJ, hottest art galleries are under the Turnpike. New artwork daily. Visit at your own risk. Lol. Cal.

I've heard about this tree in Terry's back yard that grows leather jackets. Looks like some are ready for picking.

I think Terry could start a tourist destination service were we could pay by the hour to try his jackets on

Doing my best Predator impression blending in with all the dead pine needles I need to rake up:

It's been really wet and windy this past week, so I've mostly just been hanging around the house and working on things in my workshop when I'm not at work.

My choice of shop jacket has been this 70's JC Penny's Big Mac.

I was unimpressed with the quality and heft / thickness when I got it in early December, but it has really been growing on me.
I love the cut / fit, and I got it so cheap that I don't have to worry about trying to keep it too nice.

The Tree bears much Fruit, some is plucked, like the Lost World Bison, the others remain. I've back to the tree recently, it has 3 Bucos ripening, should be ready soon.

Dibs on the piece of fruit above his head...

Talk about the size of my Fruit and you may not want it.

lol! My grip on jackets my size is strong! I just sol 6-7 jackets recently, everything I had listed in the classifieds here

I can be a reluctant seller. I look more at replacement; when will another show up? 50s jackets are fairly easy to replace, pre-war jackets continue to be scarce and very difficult to replace. Some stuff I'm just in love with oftentimes just like everyone else who wants it! Part of the conflict in selling really nice stuff, you want it too.

Easier said than done!

look at what you have been wearing, you don't need anything else. ;your thirst is insatiable perhaps more so than mine.

Bronson A1

Nice jacket, fit is not bad but leather is a bit floppy (not sure if this is the case with other A1s in goat skin).

Has some chemical smell that I've been trying to remove for ages (left it hanging outside for like a week but it is still there).

Kit Karson. Every time I put it on, I think it does not get a whole lot better than this. 50's cut - broad shoulders, tapered, short - not the skinny, elongated, social media modern cuts (). Shameless plug - I have another one for sale, a little bigger.

Irvin RAF shearling

Far too hot to zip up

 

[Edward]

A couple of new additions - both custom orders from Aero - a Coastal Command Irvin in their pebbled merino shearling and a Shackleton with leather back in tobacco badalassi. Really delighted with these and already breaking in v nicely - the badalassi grain is emerging and the typical “wavy” moulding is taking shape. The Irvin is lighter than my Eastman ANJ4 so fills a gap rather than overlapping - the latter is for the really cold weather, the former then takes over as temperatures rise - both get equal wear at present in the UK. The Shackleton is really a very handy jacket - I wear it around the house at present but it also fits under the shearlings and also will be getting a lot of wear come the warmer months.

That Shackleton looks *fantastic*. Both do! The CC Irvin was still in the prototyping stage when I visited the factory in 2014. At some point I'm going to buy myself a new Irvin and that version is the leading candidate.

The Shackleton is especially interesting, though, as I have had my eye on one of those for some time - I'm keen on an all-leather with drill lining version, one each in black and brown. For those warmer days when a full jacket is just a bit too much, but I don't want to go jacketless entirely. I was leaning towards the idea of goat for both, but that Badalassi looks amazing....
