It's a bit parky here up in the hills.

Hand in your mancard NOW! Now't wrong with tea, but beer trumps tea every time.

Yeah, Sainsbury's are world famous for doing cool bike kit.

I had a similar leather jacket in the 80s, but the 80s one was a dark blue.
Same here .... last seen being worn by my daughter when she was 13 or 14 and took her out on the bike for the first time. I havent seen the jacket since

Ueshima supply MaccyD's beans so I think you're safe from hipster status in that at least for now. :thumbup:

I nearly bought one of those last year.

Went for something even more retro instead.

Takes a bit of talent to reduce a leather jacket to a single A rating... it really is a jacket for wearing to the pub.

Don't think they've ever been out of fashion!

There are the old rockers from the 50s and 60s like Dave Edmunds, Bowie in the late 60s... Sex Pistols, Clash, Stranglers, Vivienne Westwood to name a few sporting them from the mid-70s... Then there was George Michael in the 80s... and even Victoria and David Beckham have been seen modelling them! That's just off the top of my head :)

It's got a lot of pockets, makes it look a bit too military for my taste, but definitely hipster.
