Has anyone heard from him or know the reason for his disappearance? He was an active member for six years. Then five months ago he disappeared. in looking over his posts, I saw no mention of his taking a hiatus from the board. PC

 

[Tom71]

Sadly no. I have enquired directly with him, but to no avail. I am also not aware of any other social-media activities of his.

 

[Mickiemac]

I wondered the same thing as well. He was a frequent poster and had an assortment of the most fantastic leather outerwear on this site. In addition, he shared his vast knowledge in great detail with us along with those luscious images of his endless collection.

Maybe he's moving his acquisitions to a new, larger warehouse and will be in touch soon!

I hope everything is Ok with him.

He has such a great way of communicating here with practical knowledge from his impressive collection.

I hope we see him again very soon.

Maybe as a bartender you can see his email adress and send him an email? I really hope he is ok.

I hope he’s doing good and eventually makes his way back.

But I can see how putting the amount of time and effort he did to reply to someone’s question with great length and detail, plus a collage of pics to compare, only to have a senior member come in and say it’s all bs could really diminish someone’s motivation to keep participating in further conversations.

I hope he realizes he can just come back and use the ignore function.

 

[El Marro]

Agreed! I miss him and his encyclopedic collection.

 

[TartuWolf]

Maybe buried under an avalanche of his own jackets?

 

[Biff42]

I miss that guy too. I once bought a jacket from him, and he sent it without me having paid him yet.

Was there a specific incident?

This is a good reminder to me to go look up my emails with him. Pretty sure his first name is Tom. Alas, he only sent something to me, not vice-versa. I know he is/was in Canada and a great fellow, very knowledgeable and kind as well! Hoping/praying he and his family are well!

Not a major one, just a few comments here and there that I can recall.

Hopefully he’s doing well and just taking a break for other purposes.

Yep, I had talked to him in the past and his first name was Tom, if you have his email adress maybe you can contact him checking he is ok?

 

[Mickiemac]

It seems he's communicated with specific forum posters over time and hopefully one of them can get in touch or at least determine the reason for his absence from the FL.

He impressed me with his expansive collection of outerwear and detailed responses to inquiries. A top notch individual by any description.

Thanks to those who may have resources to communicate with Panda (Tom).

I hope he is well. Likewise, a member here inquired about him several months ago. I truly hope his is enjoying himself where ever he is.

 

[Biff42]

I messaged him through PayPal, which is where I paid him for a jacket. I'll let you all know if he gets back to me.

That said, I swear he had an IG account for showing his jacket collection, but I cannot find it.

He does. Johnson has tagged him before.

 

[Trouser Bark]

I don't know him myself but enjoyed a zillion of his posts... enough of them to pay particular attention whenever he chimed in. At a point some time back he referred to a jacket he was having made and referred to it as his "exit jacket" or something strikingly similar.

I wondered, but I'm also far from close enough to have asked such a nosey question as the one that's forming in your mind right now.

I texted with him today, and he is okay and doing well. Just a bit busy with life and hopes to be back to the lounge soon

Thank you for doing that and very glad to hear he’s doing ok.
