              I like some of the vintage East West Musical Instruments jackets from the sixties and seventies, and Electric Leather Studio are a Japanese brand that is heavily inspired by them.

              I like the Tex, but it'd be somewhere over $2000 to get one in my size, along with a trip to Japan to get fitted.

              I really like the toe bug style stitching.  Not sure I'm sold on the fringe, but it does fit the overall aesthetic.

                  Electric Leather Studio do some fringe free styles.

                  I don't mind the fringe, particularly when they don't do the sleeves. And the hidden pockets that @Giles commented on are pretty cool.

                      This Christmas is going to be special because it is going to be the last one we celebrate in my parents' home.

                      That is lovely, and of course a little sad. Enjoy!

                          I've been fortunate this year. Got sufficient amounts of clothing to last a good long while, and trying to resist impulse/want want want buys.

                          I sold a large hip hop collection for 3 figures so am happy to have upgrade my hifi system. The only things other than that I'd like

                          1.as a lover of dark rum, another decent bottle asI just finished one

                          2.a Lehmann Linear headphone amp - just picked one up to use with my Audio Technica A1000Z cans. My wonderful wife contributed.

                          3.a new belt

                          That's it really. Who knows what 2020 will bring, particularly in the UK and USA.

                          Make the best of what you have, and love those that love you. Hohoho!

                                      Got any tips on selling a vinyl collection? I don't collect music much anymore and probably have around 1500 vinyl records and 1500 cd's. I haven't set foot in a record store in years so i'm not sure what the going rate is. Do record stores tend to fleece sellers? What can I realistically expect?

                                        @gaseousclay like everything, condition and iteration (pressing?) is all. If you haven't heard of this site, it's a great place to start getting an idea of value. always stick with the median value, you won't go far wrong.

                                        https://www.discogs.com/search/?ev=em_rs

                                        Once you've got an idea of a few general prices it's worth approaching a reputable dealer. Some will do a home visit to give a valuation. With collections, my advice is to sell it all in one go. Cherry picking will leave you with some stuff that you'll be stuck with.

                                        PM me and I can give you more info/advice  🙂

                                          Thanks. I figured as much regarding condition and pressing. The only store in town that could likely buy my stuff lock, stock and barrel is an independent chain, but even then I keep expecting them to offer me pennies on the dollar. Guess I won't know til I ask.

                                            If you've mostly got hard floors, I'd be inclined to look at a Bissell Crosswave. They're a wet and dry vacuum / mop, so not necessarily a direct replacement for the Dyson.
