Aimé Leon Dore is perhaps best known for its collaborations with leisure footwear giants Puma and New Balance, but this fast-rising name in the fashion industry is no stranger to Porsche. Back in 2020 the company, with Porsche’s official backing, released a once-off custom restoration of a 1990 Porsche 964 911 Carrera 4. Dubbed the ALD 964, it would mark the beginning of a partnership that would combine the fashion house’s sense of streetwise style with some of Porsche’s most iconic designs.

A highlight of this collaboration is the 993 Turbo Leather Club Jacket. This garment, crafted from premium leather, features distinctive Porsche branding, ALD’s signature details and a colour palette inspired by the iconic Mulberry Green of the 993 Turbo. The jacket’s design incorporates a classic club jacket silhouette, complete with a button-down front, notched lapels, and welt pockets. It features a relaxed fit and a slightly elongated length, offering a modern interpretation of a timeless style.

Fashion will always remain a subjective sphere however many petrolheads would surely find some appeal in this crafted piece of kit. For pricing (best to be seated for), a single garment will set buyers back a whopping R31 500! Worth it? Let us know if you’d wear this in the social media comments section.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
