Your like a fashion icon!
The Belstaff takes me back to a more simple time. It used to be able to buy the Belstaff clothing at local stores. I haven’t seen it locally in many years.
I have some Barbour waxed cotton- https://www.barbour.com/us/
And some textile from Vanson- https://www.vansonleathers.com/
Both Barbour and Vanson have excellent quality products and customer support.

Most of my gear is 20 to 30 years old. Kind of a trial and error system. If I like it, it gets used again; if not it generally gets lost in closet.
And it still fits!

Back to the College
I’ve been back over to the junior college in the machine shop to help Rick Puckett the machine shop instructor. Some of the machine shop equipment is in sad shape. He had the business that sold the school the lathes and mills send a rep over to find what it would take to fix them. They came a couple of times, hem and hawed around. All talk and no action. A month or so later, went back over to the shop. Still no action from the company that sold the the equipment to the college.

I guess about a year after I took the CNC class I was back over to the college machine shop. I remembered some of the equipment was in sad shape and not operable. I fixed what I could. 
Drain the Oil out of the Gear Box
Draining the gear box revealed the problem. Hard to see the damaged gear below the red housing. We stopped here. We need a special o-ring tool to remove the broken gear. School is closed tomorrow and Monday. Will give us time to get the special angled tool. Work comes to a halt.
