    Annalena Bearbock's cafe racer jacket

    I would like to virtue signal but really don't get it. Back when things were really green everyone worked on the farm and no one burned any fossil fuel. Modernity seems like an orgy of fossil fuel consumption. How green is a windmill or a solar cell if you look at the fossil fuel inputs into...

    Annalena Bearbock's cafe racer jacket

    Interesting to me leather is natural and renewable it seems green to me. Maybe not animal friendly but green. Hmmm then there is that animal methane issue? Is leather green is of interest to me.

    Annalena Bearbock's cafe racer jacket

    Can anyone ID the manufacturer? It seems to fit well and I assume it is a fashion brand and not a piece of hard core gear. Also does anyone know if she rides a motorcycle like Yanis Y?

    New Himel transcontinental railroad - what do you think, keep or return?

    oops Here is my Orvis/Himel transcontinental story. I am a newbie and bought the jacket for $1500 in 2018. It immediately went on sale and Orvis gave me a $300 gift card. Front button ripped off and half belt button ripped off. Neck fit was funky. MY tailor who did the costumes for "Grumpy Old...

    Anyone else into fountain pens?

    Great photos! I was not aware there was a military standard for the clip. I have several early post war Parker p-51s which I use every day. Regards

    Aero Highwayman in big size (UK 52) - advice/experience

    Aero Highwayman in big size (UK 52) - advice/experience

    I think the goal is to be comfortable and look neat. Speaking as a big guy this can be a challenge. Most modern jeans are low rise. The distance from the crotch to the waistline is too short for a big guy and a tight belt will not keep them in place. They sag below the belly and slip down. Not a...

    Aero Highwayman in big size (UK 52) - advice/experience

    I don't have a photo of me in my much loved HWM to share. Looking at the photo in your post, the jacket hem goes over the waist band of your jeans which to me is the right length. I wear medium rise 5 pocket jeans (LC King) with braces to hold them up, and usually a mock turtle neck shirt tucked...

    Aero Highwayman in big size (UK 52) - advice/experience

    I'm 5'10 and 205 lbs with a belly that excceeds my chest by about 2 inches. I love my size 42 (labeled) Aero Highwayman. I think it is maybe plus1 or plus2 inches in length but the hem of the jacket is still higher than the sleeves. I have it cinched to about 20 inches and my fat friends think...
