What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

When it's above 20C, nobody in this country wears leather... but if you drive an open car

Hmmm. I recognize that wheel, timing advance,headlight switch and instrument panel. 1930 model A by chance?

It's a full custom design / pattern. I used various design features from vintage and repro aviator jackets and combined them into one design. The ball and chain chest zipper is a 30s original, as are the corozo buttons (I hand dyed them to match the color of the jacket).

I'm drawn to that great looking left hand pocket, Marc. Such an unusual design.

Clearly that jersey can be ID'd as trash and your doing the right thing using it as a rug protector

As a Baltimore Ravens fan, I heartily concur! LOLOLOL

The Ford plate on the dash might be a giveaway.

That line of traffic doesn't look inviting to double-clutching.

That doesn’t mean it’s a model A

The give away is what I previously described. With number of fords I’ve restored, I don’t need a fuckin plate to tell me what it is

My old neighborhood
9th and Wharton St.
In South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
For our international brothers
Pats Steaks is the original home of what’s known as the “ Philadelphia Cheese Steak Sandwich “. If you’ve ever had one ( pictured above ) in your home country , well this place is where it all started back around 1930.View attachment 82741

Last I heard is Paul here is still trying to nail the bread "like back home" ;-)

You and him had that hilarious conversation about Pats and Genos via me on Whatsapp!

No offense to any members, but Pat's and Geno's are both terrible. Joe's Steaks in Torresdale (which used to have a racist name) is much better. And you don't have to eat on the street. Or Steve's Prince of Steaks on Bustleton. Pat's and Geno's are just for tourists these days.

I’m just getting my popcorn ready to watch the battle of the cheesesteaks.

It may looks short in the front, but the length is perfect when sitting down.

It's a perfect fit for a MC jacket..... and they are pretty damned comfy sitting down in for any length of time

Cooled off here today and started to feel like autumn/fall is on her way. Had the 1st gen AVI Bronco on for a wee while. Sorry old photo but you get the drift...

Also had the Service Shoes out...

Ohh I love the service shoes.... look "smoother" than my Dutch M57 boots

No, but it's a decent lead.

Buddy, reign it in. Having a bad day? It's just a discussion on an internet forum, no need to get fuckin bent outta shape. You must be very proud of your expertise.

 

[CombatWombat]

Guys guys guys....... we're all socially adjusted adults here with hobbies that our significant others would skin us alive over how much it costs.....
Can't we just commiserate over our crippling addiction to leather and how shite Headwind MFG with refunds and communication

Having a great day. But snarky little comments like that seem to be frequent on this forum and that’s the reason I’ve abstained from it for a while. Think I’ll return to that state. Over and out.

Ohhhhh ……John …. Blaspheme
Joe’s in Torresdale?…. Noooooo…..
Jim’s on South Street was a contender to Pats and Geno’s but that burnt down … and eating on the street is part of the ambiance and mystic of the experience at those places.
I’ll never forget eating outside as a teen and finding the dead flies in the cherry peppers, relish , mustard and ketchup glass tankard jars sitting on the shelf outside by the tables . You can’t match those types of experiences sitting at a restaurant table in Torresdale Pa.

Sorry, but you really misinterpreted my observing the dash plate as snarky (so much so, that I guess you had to reply twice -- dropping the F bomb for emphasis). It wasn't. End of discussion.

Harder to interpret a comment in type then in person I guess. Forget about it.
