New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

[60Years2Late]

Hello! I'm not exactly new, as I'd originally found this site back in the mid 2000's when I was stationed in California with the Marines. I used to be somewhat active and went out to the Cicada and the Queen Mary a couple of times. Had some good times cruising around in a 1937 Buick through LA and Longbeach! Anyway, after I got out and moved back east life got pretty busy there, but I'm older and more fiscally stable now so I'm looking to get back into things.

Does that mean that you'll be moving back to California?

No, I own a house here in Memphis, have a good job, and my daughter is here. I'm pretty much stuck in Memphis.

Hello there. Long time reader, first time poster from France.

I learned a great deal from reading discussions here, especially about military/leather jackets. Very happy to be a member and thanks for the shared knowledge!

Hey everyone,

I'm new here and this is my first post. I've been a lurker on this forum for a few months and thought I should probably just sign up and contribute. Well, here I am...

Hi all! I'm not exactly new but was a fairly regular visitor about 12 years ago. Can't believe it's been that long.

Life's been a roller coaster since then, and working nights at a computer for a decade didn't do much for my health and weight, so finding cool, stylish things went on a back-burner.

But I left that job, got my health back on track, halved my previous size, have spent a lot of time hiking and riding a mountain bike, and recently got my motorcycle license. I don't know if I'll get a motorcycle or not, but I remembered what brought me here all those years ago... wanting a cool, leather jacket. I haven't eaten beef (nor chicken) in several years now, but I'd still like a groovy leather jacket.

Anyway, I really enjoyed this community when I was here and was bummed when things went sideways with my personal life/health, so hi!

Dear all,

just wanted to say an initial hi. New to posting here. Been reading for what seems like an eternity and became a member in '21 ish. This is my first real post.

I have a problem with leather jackets. It’s been an issue since I was approximately 11. I am no longer 11, sadly. Though I couldn’t afford a nice jacket then regardless. I am on the seemingly perpetual voyage to find my perfect jacket; I’m fully aware it’s likely a voyage that never ends.

Feeling very drawn toward natural veg tanned leather at the moment. Maybe a premier MWM….not decided yet. Or a western shirt. Or trucker…or…

To add insult to injury, I’m also Irish. I know, rough. Live in Germany.

That is all for now I think. Happy to be here. Great forum.

Cheers,

Liam

Hello all,

I'm a long-absent returning member (looks like I last posted in 2014!) Since then, like most of you, I've had a LOT of life events, most notably a bout with cancer (all good now), retirement (highly recommended), and a daughter who'll be off to university later this year to finish up her last two years towards her bachelor's degree. As my wife and I are getting a bit older, we're seriously trying to downsize and have started with our closets. Most of my business wardrobe has been sent off to various local charities and few vintage items have been donated to a local theater group (the show must go on!) I'm keeping several of my prized hats, but have a couple of special ones that may be put up for sale, as well as a few odds and ends. Looking forward to getting acquainted with everyone again!
