OK, trying again. I weighed the jacket on a precision scale and it weighs 2 lbs 12.5 oz in freedom units. I believe that is 1.26 kg.

A young boy walks in to a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer, “This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you.” The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, “Which do you want, son?” The boy...

Beer in general and IPA in specific :)

There are certainly lots of hoppy IPAs and high-alcohol Russian Imperial Stouts, but there are many brewers making beer in the Belgian style or other formerly less-common varieties like sour ales. That's what's great about the craft beer movement in the US: you can certainly find something...

I recently purchased this jacket and despite my desire to keep it, the fit simply doesn't work for me. Originally listed on the Good Wear Leather second-hand page, I've copied the information below. The jacket hasn't been worn out since these pictures were taken due to the poor fit so the...
