    Does leather burn?

    Any chance of naming and shaming the shop? It'd be good to know it to avoid it.

    Leather coats (Burberry, Ralph Lauren) for sale on eBay

    My wardrobe clearance continues! Just up (or about to appear - they seem to take a while - in my seller listing is a brown leather duffel coat from Burberry and a Ralph Lauren trenchcoat in luxurious black lambskin...

    Jackets (Langlitz, Belstaff, etc.) for sale on eBay

    For those interested in a lighter weight Belstaff hide, dark brown rather than black, I've added a Belstaff Panther...

    leather jackets

    It's certainly Irvin weather at the moment. I've been glad of mine.

    Aww, thankyou!

    Jackets (Langlitz, Belstaff, etc.) for sale on eBay

    I'm hoping it's okay for me to be linking to my own auction. I can't find anything in the rules to suggest otherwise but may have missed something - so moderators should feel free to delete this thread if I've overstepped the rules. Anyway, I'm trying to clear some wardrobe space (and...

    Classic Casual Jackets every man should own . . .

    That's probably quite a US-centric list. In the UK, letterman/varsity jackets are much less frequent; probably more commonly seen (in London, certainly) is a Belstaff or Barbour belted jacket in waxed cotton or leather. Also, there's always been something of a tendency to pair smart jackets...

    Leather Sport Coats

    Lambskin blazers are a fundamentally different beast from the tougher, more utilitarian garments produced by Aero, Lost Worlds, etc. I have a couple of beautifully soft jackets from Gieves & Hawkes and Hugo Boss. Both are good quality but the Gieves version is better tailored and hangs more...

    Where can I get one of these?

    Not sure if you're still looking or what size you are but there's a vintage Lewis Leathers Roadmaster on eBay at the moment...

    Where can I get one of these?

    You can sometimes find Lewis Leathers bargains on eBay (I have a 1970s/'80s UK motorcycle police jacket in similar belted style) or here. Can be costly, though.

    GQ advice we all ignore

    I feel the same way - and sometimes I'm a little uncomfortable with the vocabulary of criticism if it seems to lean too much towards "Cissy" = Bad, because that's the culture in which I grew up and, as a gay man, had difficulty breaking out of. So... although it's not my own preference, I...

    GQ advice we all ignore

    I can accept that GQ is essentially about fashion rather than style - fine, there's a place for both. My own bugbear is that whenever there's a piece on leather jackets, it invariably includes a line about making a purchase which will "last a lifetime" and get better with wear. That's...

    Hellboy's duster coat

    Is this the second Hellboy? I seem to remember his coat in the first film being made of weather-beaten brown leather

    Aero Steerhide

    Indeed - it rather depends on one's priorities. I love period styling but tend to prioritise good quality leather and workmanship over the notion of exact authenticity. I have my fetishes but that's not one of them! In response to the original question, I have a black steerhide cafe racer...

    MY new Aero Arrived

    Nice. Was it the seal brown or cordovan?

    My first 'high end' hat...

    Cheers, folks! In the sub-zero temperature, the Borsalino was damned effective at keeping a bit of warmth around my naked pate...

    My first 'high end' hat...

    Well, I haven't been here for a while! My hat arrived, though, and I absolutely love it. Here's some pics from a recent long weekend in a rather chilly Prague: The long leather coat is also new, a pretty good Ralph Lauren take on the old Belstaff despatch rider type gear I...

    What's your 'couple' song

    Moon River, ideally the unnerving Morrissey version.

    Far From Heaven

    I loved this film and agree that the score was truly exceptional. The scene in the period gay bar made me smile.

    Keeping the Faith

    Not the one on the pale horse? ;)
