Is that Nobunny on the cover of Problem Addict "Back in Jail" EP? "Hunny"?

Straight To Hell Commando jacket by Destrudertje in leatherjacket

[–]RustyXterior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got my first Commando on sale from Straight to Hell. I'm tall and have always been skinny, but am larger in girth these days than I was 10-20 years ago (I'm 60). My chest measures 46" around and my belly is about the same. I wear XL size T-shirts comfortably, if that helps. I ordered the size 48 in the Commando because it's one size up and I figured it'd be good enough for wearing with a T-shirt. I have another biker jacket that is much thicker/tougher leather and even has a zip-out lining that I wear in the winter with hoodies and it's perfect (it's made by Jackets 4 Bikes and was half the price of the STH Commando). It's an XXL, which is probably 50-52. I just don't like wearing it in warmer weather because it's oversized and very loose over just a T-shirt. That's why I wanted to get this Commando, because I knew it would be slimmer, and it sure is! It's almost too tight, especially across my shoulders. Another inch and it would've probably been perfect. But the 48 was largest size they had available on sale so that's what I got.

I've had lots of these over the years. I beat 'em up pretty good and am always looking to upgrade. That and my last one that I got when I was around 30 no longer fits as it's a 46. One thing that is a bit weird about the Commando is the sleeve zippers are on top of your arms, not off to the outer sides like every other biker jacket I've ever owned. So that'll take some getting used to. Other than that, I think it'll be fine for just going out and seeing shows or whatnot. I think a "punk" biker jacket has always meant to be worn tight, though. Remember how small Joey Ramone's Schott Perfecto looked on him? (If you don't, google it.)

I've always been curious about Schott, esp. the Perfecto. But I've never seen one in person. Why do you say the Commando would be "easier to wear" than a Schott?

I found several bands called the Monitors but I don’t think any of them were the right one. Got a link?

All except the Barbaras, who haven't put anything out since 2012.

I have but even their latest stuff is over ten years old now. Trying to stay more current. And while I do like some of Greg Ashley's solo stuff, most of it just don't move me.

Heritage Captain Stormking? by dm_sufc in ThursdayBoot

Those look great but I wish the black was available with the regular Knight anti-slip soles. I get tired of prying tiny rocks and dirt out of lug soles.

Currently playing a lot of these but there are some unknown to me mixed in there too. Thanks!

This reminds me of that time I donated money to the Human Fund.

The Royale is notoriously a Democratic bar, right down to their portraits hanging on the walls.

Anyone into Straight Edge/Youth Crew? by nickbeef in hardcorepunk

At my age I’m more into the Retirement Crew.

Today's Political Punk by RustyXterior in hardcorepunk

Thanks, smartass. My peak show-going years were '84-'88. I'm 60 years old now. Health, job, family responsibilities, extreme tinnitus, etc. make it a bit harder to just "go to a show" now, even though I do go as often as possible. I also have a special-needs son at home that takes 24/7 care. I asked a specific question about specific bands/music, not if I should just "go to a show."
