What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[JMax]

Quick shots of my Vanson Commando:



Definitely a longer jacket but the two-way zip works wonders for how it can be worn, even when seated or when on a bike.

Beautiful jacket weather.

I wish I could wear a jacket. Here in So Cal, Summer has finally hit with temps in the mid-nineties.

I’ll be out watching soccer this weekend. They’re calling for a bit of rain. I just rewaxed my international and I sorta hope it does.

The novelty of rain wears off when it’s 335 days of the year lol

Must be a friend of yours as I don't have any haha !

Only been back 3 times in 25 years , always for "family reasons" , not the best reasons and in October 2005 the weather was "bowfing"

Came another trip in May 3 years ago for my mother's 80th and there were some nice days. She lives down on the lower Clyde and some days the Clyde was glassy all the way across to Helensburgh. Beautiful in the extreme.

Next day was HOWLING PISH but of course you know this.

The scenery here in Western Australia is not so "grand" , but the vistas are huge to a far horizon.
275/290 DRY DAYS per year depending if it's a "wet" winter or not ! You kinda gets used to that since 1990's onwards.
Most of my "new" mates here are expat Brits , a few Scots amongst them. A few "Serth Effricans" as well.
ALL motorcyclists bar none !

For our local run today I will be rugging up under the Eastman Luftwaffe (my warmest leather jacket) as it is a 2C start. Frost when I walked the dug (dog!) this morning. Long sleeve thermal T shirt under my "disco gear".
22C on the ride home. Coupla "coffee" stops already planned on the route.

"Home sick" pangs disappeared for me way over 20 years ago , the missus took a wee bit longer. All good now.

Do I "miss it" ? Well of course , and not too deep down neither. "Such if life" to paraphrase Ned Kelly...

Vanson Dominator, insanely thick old competition weight cowhide, shame they don't make this kind of jacket no more.

Finally it’s cold enough to wear leather again! Today I’m wearing my Royal blue Langlitz cascade. This leather is one of my all time favorites: thick, soft and grainy. No break in period, comfy out of the box! I strongly recommend Langlitz’s special colour cowhides (I hear that standard medium and heavyweight black and brown are much stiffer to begin with).

The A-2 is a great jacket. Wish it had inner pockets
