Dutch people are naturally tall so it isnt uncommon to find all bathroom fittings up there.
Just done 60 widths of my local lido. How the fuck do people do cold water swimming. It was 19 degrees, so heated a bit but nothing like a normal swimming pool. Still shivering half hour after getting out. Invigorating though haha.

Urrgh…late afternoon I must have rubbed my eye and something was in it. So I now have a zombie-like red eye which looks horrendous. It is sort too. Woke up with my eyelids glued together this morning. I think whatever it was is gone, but it still really irritable.
Anyone know what kind of jacket this is? I’ve worn it out and want something basically the same. Can’t find anything like it on the Carhartt site and beyond that I don’t know what this style is called. Windbreaker brings up lots of stuff with hoods. I had something v similar in black by dkny (from tk maxx) years ago as well. Cheers!
Harrington style jacket?

Close but I don’t think it’s a rodney Harrington. They have a different collar and more traditional cuffs, usually and the waist bit is different too
Put it in to Chatgpt and it said that its a hybrid of a wind breaker/training jacket, so you’ll never find an exact style to search, but it did find me similar looking ones for sale online. So give that a go, maybe?

Thanks man that’s a lead
Chat gpt reckoned it’s a coach jacket when I asked. Which is wrong… with a bit of prodding it pretty much concluded it’s an out of date style no-one makes any more. Bah
Personally always called this kind of thing a pub jacket, no idea of the actual name mind
Barrow, always the best at the worst things.
Pretty sure during the WWF Raw era my school chums and i would chuck each other into sheets of asbestos.

I would’ve called it a Harrington or Steve McQueen-style warm-up jacket. Definitely influenced by F1/Grand Prix retro aesthetic.
I have an old Carhartt zip-up track jacket in a similar style, I always feel like I’m living in Berlin or Prague in 1989 when I wear it, lol

Found something pretty close. Lightweight technical zip up jacket apparently. From the Zara pubwear collection™

When I was really young and staying at my nan and grandad’s, he’d had an old asbestos roof removed off his shed and had it redone. He just had it dropped on his driveway to top up the gravel. He used to send me outside with a little claw hammer to break up the larger bits, presumably when he was bored of watching Tugs again.
I used to love doing that and didn’t put together in my head that it was asbestos until about 4 or 5 years ago. Of course he died before I had the chance to ask him what the fuck he thought he was playing at! It’d have been the mid 90s so he’d have definitely known.
I think a lot of older folks just didn’t really believe that it was all that dangerous, having worked with it before the dangers were known about and not subsequently died from it. Bit like how people used to dismiss the dangers of smoking because their grandad smoked all his life and died at 90 or something.
