    Need a leather MC jacket religned

    Forgive me for asking a question that's been asked a thousand times here before, but my quick and dirty search didn't turn up what I needed. I have a co-worker with a 20 + year old Harley-Davidson jacket that is very nice - cord caller, zip-off sleeves, nice heavy leather that's been aged...

    Wested Tomorrow Never Dies jacket

    Hi ho there. Been gone a while popped in because I have some Xmas money and a perceived need for a black jacket. I'm looking at this: http://www.wested.com/tomorrow-never-dies-007-bond-24-p.asp It isn't lambskin, but I don't know what the quality of the leather might be like. If...

    Wristwatch dilemma - pic heavy, sorry.

    First of all, thanks to everyone for their quick replies. I agree that the sporty look of the Breitling (and pretty much everything else there) is a step away from a look that would compliment the outfit as I envision it. I am just a bit concerned about the rose gold with the silver tie (and...

    Wristwatch dilemma - pic heavy, sorry.

    This is not a question about vintage items. I have committed to attending the annual pops concert/dinner at my local university (and alma mater). I will be wearing a single-breasted olive suit, black shoes, white shirt and silver tie with a black pattern (school colors are green and silver, go...

    Please forgive the movie trivia question

    Thanks to you and MikeBravo. The story is set during WWII but there seems to be some question as to the period authenticity of the uniforms. I don't have access to imagery and it's been a long, long time since I've seen the movie, hence, the question. Of course, there may not be enough detail...

    Please forgive the movie trivia question

    A coworker and I are pondering whether the military uniforms seen in the very brief battlefield sequence of the move Tommy (from the album of the same name by The Who) are in fact WWI or WWII period. I know it's obscure and possibly off topic here, but can anyone shed some light on this...

    What was that first jacket that started it all?

    Good for you Dav. I'm happy to see you saved that jacket. I described my first leather jacket in this thread where you can see my son wearing the hand-me-down. Since that pic I've had it cleaned and had the cuffs changed. I mention all this because my parents were very resistant to the...

    Obama's A2 ?

    I really can't explain it. It's an A-2 with Nixon's head on it. Chalk it up to my opinion; Dick just wasn't a A-2 kind of guy. Mark .

    Obama's A2 ?

    Not disputing that. My point is that he looks ridiculous to me. I'm just saying.... Mark .

    Obama's A2 ?

    Sure, I'll jump in here. Why not? It looks like somebody measured our President and pulled a gov. issued A-2 off the rack somewhere. Consequently as a slim, kind of lanky guy, he wound up with a pretty good fit in the shoulder and sleeve length, but baggy and too long otherwise. The jacket in...

    winter scarf?

    Interesting thread. The shemagh in the video caught my eye because it is virtually identical to the one I wore into work this evening. As for the ability of a cotton shemagh to keep one warm in the winter, I enjoy mine. It actually does a fine job here in the desert night. There are limits...

    Aero Steerhide Motorcycle Jacket

    Very nice jacket Edward. I have a steerhide Highwayman and I'm very happy with it. I'm sure your jacket will wear well for the rest of your life. Congratulations on the deal. Mark .

    Old leather

    In retrospect, this was a very well made jacket. The zipper is practically bulletproof (don't recall the maker off the top of my head), and the leather has held up remarkably well. Sears was actually still worth something back in those days and if they were getting the jackets from Schott, that...

    Old leather

    Thank you sir. The laws were ambiguously written and we youngsters got away with riding larger bikes because of it. I started at 100cc and upgraded to a 350 V twin about a year later. It was a lot more motor than I was entitled to, but I survived it. :) Mark

    Old leather

    I wore it steady for about three years, then on and off until I was 20. It hasn't fit me since I was 24. It may be a little big for my son, but that'll probably last about 15 minutes. :) Mark .

    Old leather

    I've been busy and haven't provided The Lounge with the attention it deserves, so this may not be the right place to post this. If not a bartender should feel free to relocate it. But here's the tale: Once upon a time, a 13-year-old boy could take a test, pay a fee and secure a license to ride...

    Langlitz Leathers' Butterscotch Goat

    I agree that this is not a bad look for a jacket, especially if it coordinates with, say, the paint on your motorcycle tins. It's also a little hard to tell from the pics but my first impression of the color was more "mustard." At any rate, you might need to watch what you wear with it to...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    I suppose I do. I use one of those multi-bladed razors. I think mine packs 4. I recently paid something like $20 usd for four blades. Ye gods, that is insane. Not much on fishing. Mostly because I'm on the other side of the state -- I live in the the desert west Texas part of New...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    A fashion gauge to keep close -- WWDNW? What Would David Nivin Wear? Unfortunately, a pencil moustache is completely out of the question in my case. :) Mark .
