So textile jacket it is then, but

I guess so - they were last summer anyway.

Aye. It was a sort of melting/dissolving of the plasticy surface.
A pain really as, re-waterproofing aside, there wasn't anything
particularly wrong with the jacket. I had binned two work shirts
before I decided on changing the jacket.

It was during last summer when it was extremely hot. It was probably
a combination of the heat and me getting very sweaty inside that
caused it. Occasionally I took the car to work just so I could use
the aircon. /

 

My Dainese goretex gloves have a double cuff with a drain hole. One layer
goes inside the jacket cuff and the other outside. Bit of a pain to put on
but unbeatable.
I may have said this before.

They're by Highbury Corner right at the bottom of Holloway road. I've
even phoned them and they're still there ;-)

 

well, I knew where they were, but wasn't sure if they were still
going.

You also have to remember that there are only two things visible with
the naked eye from the Moon.

One is the Great Wall of China.

The other is the Frank Thomas returns and rejects marquee at the BMF
show

Lozzo was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:

.... and it turned out that the visibility of the Great Wall Of China
was a bit of an urban myth.

That means the FT marquees are the new Great Wall then

 

Millions died during construction and it's functionally useless?

My leather jacket is Richa - 12 years old and still looks good.

And only a bit scuffed from the offs I have had.

richa textile jacket, the cuffs of which quickly wore through and let in the
rain and wind.
