Them jackets are gorgeous. Glad to give advice; even gladder that it came in useful for ya, and it wasn’t my usual “just a bunch of hot air blown into the internet aether” routine.- Botolph

Buzz Rickson, etc. are incredible. I have the Real McCoy’s(Ja.po repro company similar to Buzz) version of the MA-1 in sage. The batting is a wool/cotton mixture— I can only wear it on the coldest of days. Similarly-cropped, era-correct pattern. They sometimes DO make ‘em like they...- Botolph

Pretty slick. Definitely more of a 1980s Brest, France RAC look though. Conjures images of Brutal Combat.- Botolph

Absolutely. It tends to migrate a bit, so checking it every couple minutes and wiping the excess off the edges is definitely a good idea. Like you said, though, it does hold up surprisingly well. Shoe Goo II, Electric Boogaloo- Botolph

HERE AND NOW
Found some sportswear items from Left Hand and ST-95(Christopher Raeburn’s relaunched Massimo Osti’s cult labels) on the cheap, as well as a bit of 7L. Mostly overshirts, layering, some outerwear, all stuff good for travel, lots of zips and pockets. All very Massimo Osti inspired, but...- Botolph

Yeah like I mentioned, mine is so incredibly warm that it’s only suited for extremely frigid days and/or my son’s long ice hockey tournaments. Can’t imagine weather that comes anywhere close to cold enough in Florida! Going to wear mine up in Quebec in a couple weeks, as it is brutally cold...- Botolph

I have one; got it off Rodders. But seriously, same color as Del’s but yeah more the classic Marlboro Man/skinhead style one. You DO NOT wash them. They’re cleaned via a dry cleaning service’s leather and suede service. To be honest, I see old photos of skins wearing sheepies indoors, or...- Botolph

I like mine. Good for chopping wood, changing tires, puttering around a cold garage, etc. @Thin White Duke I know you’ve lived in America for a while, but it’s definitely a cultural perception thing. To me, and to a lot of people who see me wearing one, a donkey jacket has a touch of class...- Botolph

Not 100% sure, Nik, but I have a donkey jacket from them. It says Made In England on the tags(Baracuta-style hang loop and the tag on the inside seam).- Botolph

I’ve never bought bowling shoes from them, but if they are anything like their cord shoes and plimsols, they’re probably of good quality.- Botolph

That’s pretty nice actually. I dig the non-leather collar— but defo understand one would need to wear a collared shirt in order to not stain the suede.- Botolph

That us definitely my problem with them. The old “slim-fit” ones were better-fitting. Yes, the new ones are machine washable, but that doesn’t take away from the weird fit. My gripes with newer Baracutas: -sleeves are too skinny and bunch up on my forearms -cuffs are too loose so they hang...- Botolph

A new Baracuta is going to cost you some serious money. I’d definitely shop around before dropping rude dough on a new Baracuta. Having taken the plunge before, I believe they’re insanely overpriced. Ralph Lauren, Gant, and Real Hoxton are more economical options.- Botolph

I had a Merc Harrington about 26-27 years ago, I wore a size Medium then, as I would now if I still had it(I’m 5’10”, 175 lbs/12.5 st), and tried on a Relco but honestly forget how it fit, but I didn’t get it, for what it’s worth. Also, are you talking newer or vintage Baracutas? They fit...- Botolph
