    Fishermen's sweaters site

    Matthew at Bertie said they’re re-doing the pattern of the Staithes right now so only had some in stock. Although, that might have been just for the XL size (which is what I got). The orange colour was excellent, as were the greys, but they only had navy blue in XL. Their new merino roll neck...

    Fishermen's sweaters site

    Berties of Bay - amazing fisherman’s sweaters! Last week I spent a very enjoyable few days at Robin Hood’s Bay on the Yorkshire coast, a few miles from Whitby. There’s a wonderful little shop in the village, Berties of Bay, who have the most wonderful traditional Gansey fishing sweaters...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Yeah, I just picked the nearest sizes to another jacket I had from elsewhere. I just wanted to see what it was like. I’ll order another with more exact sizes if it doesn’t work out. The 48” didn’t seem to outlandish for me, though, but we’ll see. Impulse buy and all that. I’m just looking for a...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I took the plunge and ordered a standard A2 1939 Werber Sportswear Military Flight Distressed Goatskin. Basically an ‘off the rack‘ size as an experiment. Hopefully it will fit (It should do). They just sent pictures and it’s been shipped! Overall I was delighted by the customer service And...

    Aero Leather offering 25% off in stock items

    Interesting, the email I got had EM25 for the discount. Could be region specific of course. Ordered the Blue Label Teamster in 46”. :)

    Advice For Writers -- Structure

    And, of course, while structure as an identifiable ‘thing’ has been around since storytelling began, theories and popular books aimed at writers are relatively new on the scene. Historically speaking. The science of storytelling is, from one perspective, just people tying to analyse what writers...

    Advice For Writers -- Structure

    Interesting thread! I don’t know if anyone is still looking in on this one, but I’m a professional fiction editor, both freelance and commissioning, if anyone has any questions, or wants to chat about some of the comments above. Perhaps a separate thread? Let me know.

    Berets, Anyone?

    Terrific find! I wish they were still making their hats here in the UK. Can I ask an off-topic question? Where did you get the black sweater?

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Outdoor Knitwear make terrific jumpers. Keep an eye on their terms and conditions though, if you're ordering in the UK. I bought one of their Russian style nautical sweaters last winter and, sadly, it was too big. On reading their returns instructions it said they would deduct the cost of the...

    Any writers?

    Yes indeed. Sci-if, fantasy and horror. Before that I was a bookseller, then a head office fiction buyer for a specialist book retailer.

    Aero leather water resistance

    I often go out in my Barnstormer in the rain. It does soak in a bit in places, as commentated on above, especially where there are heavy creases in the leather (arms etc.) but it's never penetrated all the way through to the extent that I was getting soaked. I have used a tiny bit of Obenauf's...

    Any writers?

    I've dabbled in writing, but never got published apart from some non-fiction articles. I settled down on the other side of things and currently work as a fiction editor.
