Re: [RBW] Re: Who pre ordered an English Jacket?
Really? A bike blazer? You could get a nice tweed blazer at Goodwill for 25 bucks. Or much less. The goodwill is the blazer capital of the world. I can find incredibly nice blazers from fine men's stores that no longer exist. I'm not a blazer guy but if I were, I could clean up. It would be well worth some bucks to have them well fitted by a tailor afterwards. • Perry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

If we're still talking about that Riv Italian-Ventile rain jacket, trust me: a Goodwill tweed blazer will not perform the same, not even close. I have a Ventile rain jacket, UK-made, now 9 years old. Contrary to Riv's wishy washy disclaimers, it's waterproof. Really waterproof. It also doesn't look even the least bit like a waterproof jacket.

Well, if the weather in Tucson continues tomorrow as it is currently, the riders in the El Tour de Tucson may wish they had an English Ventile jacket! Fortunately, I'm not riding in the event, and haven't in a number of years although I did in the past (finishing 36th amongst the riders in the older 50 mile event on my Rivendell Road Standard when I was 55 years old, not too bad!). Also, for a combination of a Harris Tweed garment, and getting what you paid for there's this... http://www.endclothing.com/nigel-cabourn-seam-sealed-cameraman-jacket.html?gclid=CI6fqazy-LoCFasRMwodlkQAeQ Jim On Friday, November 22, 2013 7:29:24 AM UTC-7, Matthew J wrote: If we're still talking about that Riv Italian-Ventile rain jacket, trust me: a Goodwill tweed blazer will not perform the same, not even close.
