What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Hh121]

What size is the jacket pictured and what does your chest measure, if ya don't mind me asking?

It is 38, I am 6 ft , 167 lbs and 44 inches chest.

I have different opinion, yours looks much more muscular especially the back. But after all, you are 40 lbs heavier than me!

I actually think the opposite...With the jacket coming to such a sharp taper and ending right at the waist the way yours does, it creates a much better V shaped torso. Mine was far more tubular in the body. Probably more like a board racer body. I have found a desire to shorten the length on my leather jackets a bit lately. I dunno...just looks better. Not bolero short but right below the belt or at it looks far better in certain styles. Your HWM is a perfect example!

Perfect fitting Highwayman doesn't exi-

JL in 4-5 oz dark brown cowhide (color impossible to capture on picture, jacket even looks black in real life)

Fairly cold in Germany, only way to wear is layered with this sherpa lined Carhartt jacket. Can't zip it up unfortunately with this on. While jacket has wide shoulders and generous chest it's fairly trim in the waist.

I have always felt that a tad short is much better than too long. Too long makes me feels like Pachanga from Carlito's Way. And it looks better in most styles.

Tough to follow up on @Hh121 highwayman, as that is the nicest one I’ve seen. But damn I like my new 59’er highwayman! Might enter this in the 30 day challenge if the weather allows.

This arrived today assuming zippers/tag are original to the jacket I date this to the 1930-40s?? It wears like a half-belt, I assume that’s what it is???

Amazing wearable condition like it’s been hanging in someone’s wardrobe with my name on it waiting for me, no issues at all with this jacket even smells ok, nice clean intact lining, perfectly good working Talon zippers,

it’s a very light weight goat with some crazy graining, patina and heaps of character, weighs

in at around 1kg so great for the Australian climate

Very nice! Early Windward label. Probably has a sunrise stop like this?
Makes it late 30s/early 40s

Thanks, that is the Talon stop that followed the sunrise stop into the early 40s. My most revered collection are goatskin jackets from this era. They were very popular especially in warmer climates. I would guess most were made in California. They are the most interesting designs. Here is a link to some of my Goat Herd.
