Some happy snaps while recreating a scene from Chinatown for some film students.
Hopefully you guys will just see neat thumbnail links to keep this post clean. It's an Akubra Stylemaster btw.
Hi,
After watching the splendid BBC production of Sherlock I became enamoured with his wonderful Belstaff Milford greatcoat. Unfortunately, that coat costs around 1300 pounds and is discontinued.
BUT a friend of mine who sews has agreed to hand make a replica of the coat to my...
