Temple Coffee, Leeds
We have a new stockist in my old home town. Temple Coffee & Doughnuts is hidden from view on a little industrial estate on the Armley, Kirkstall border in west Leeds (very near the original Eddy's Motorcycles, if anyone remembers that site). I found out it was opening from Eric, in Portland, because his friend, the tattooist, Simon Erl, is one of the founders along with Nadine (above).
The place isn't motorcycle-themed, but it's moto (and dog) friendly, and there is a photo of Sideburn contributor, Josh Kurpius on the wall. It's a cool place to hang out in. I've been twice, both on Saturdays, and it's been a struggle to find a seat both times.
There are all the usual modern coffee and tea drinks, plus regular teas and black coffee, and a roll call of oddball beverages like Black Sabbath latte and Golden turmeric tea. And the doughnuts? Tyson fist-sized sweet concoctions with House of Kolor Kandy Apple glazes, unusual flavourings and even some with mini syringes to squirt extra fillings in at your table. And from this week, Temple opens on Sundays. Support the independents.

The kawasaki riding jacket would look good with relaxed black trousers and understated sneakers. That would keep the outfit modern and clean.
The honda motorcycle jacket would look really clean with a black tee and dark jeans. I think keeping the base outfit simple helps the jacket make more of an impact.
Does anyone else think a green avirex leather jacket works best with neutral colors underneath? The green already adds plenty of personality. Black, grey, or white layers would probably balance the look really well.
The best thing about a Puffer jacket is probably how effortless it feels. You can put one on over a basic outfit and instantly look more winter-ready. I like clothes that make getting dressed easier. This kind of jacket definitely helps.
I’ve noticed that fit makes a huge difference with puffer jackets. Too tight and layering becomes uncomfortable, but too loose and the whole outfit can feel bulky. I was looking at this North Face Puffer Jacket collection while trying to decide what style to get next. There are several options that give you a good idea of the different looks available. I think a slightly relaxed fit would suit me best.
