He's had it over ten years and it has worn really well; still waterproof and looks good. It was pointed out to me that Belstaff had a sale on some of their jackets and this one was reduced by nearly £200 (yes for that kind of reduction it wasn't cheap). I ordered it on Saturday and it was delivered on Wednesday.

Apart from the gormless look on my face as I set up the photo the jacket looks ok. I'm looking forward to some cooler wet weather so I can wear it.

It seems the answer is when you go away for three days and stop picking them. The one in the foreground looks a bit like the head of the monster in Alien. This lot were put on display at the top of the drive and by lunchtime there were only two left. The Alien's head had gone, thank goodness, it was starting to give me nightmares. Where's Sigourney Weaver when you need her? Oh that's right she died at the end of Avatar.
