What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[AeroFan_07]

Vintage Cal Leathers jacket. Not sure how old it is. Also not sure if it's horse or steer?

The size "40L" is handwritten inside the interior pocket. The hem hits right at my belt in these photos. Got a short-sleeve tee underneath.

I have very nearly this same jacket, from a member on this forum as well. It's a mid-50's vintage if there are indeed no labels inside. Your lining looks identical. It's super-heavy Horse Hide in my case, and strangely enough still smells quite a bit like a new horse Hide jacket. I should get it back out and wear it a little more often, just such a rare & timelss piece. Looks great on you.

A visit to the Schott store, and I had to try this on for the umpteenth time, a P665. I've tried it on so many times my girlfriend says "your jacket is over here". Such a great jacket! The hide is in a different class of the rest. I touched nearly every other jacket there and the difference really was a mile.

Many thanks. There are no inner labels. But is that a 1950s Talon zip? Sleeves are Servall. The jacket weighs 6 pounds. And it does maintain a leather scent. Been wearing it around the house all day

^^ I'll take a look at mine, I believe those zips are the same. Mine is around a 44 and probaly weighs around 7 lbs or so.

Heavy Horween CXL steerhide. Its a killer jacket that I'm regretting not picking up from @Guppy when he had one for sale.

Why are most of my photos coastal ? The "cooling" seabreeze explains that , 32C in the CBD 27C at the coast.
Plus the "view" nudge nudge...you get the drift !

The shoulder line & sleeves look great! How do you like the goat? Thick? Or drapes

I am liking the goat very much. Drapes easy. Not my first goat leather jacket. had one made here in Perth WA in the early 90's. An exact copy of my 1990 Horsehide Eastman Luftwaffe which was proving too 'hot" for daily wear here.

These 2 new Simmons Bilt black goat jackets are the same as the Eastman Copy , Not too "hot" for here.
Which makes them ( and me by default haha...) well, "Cool"...

this is a "bad selfie" of the Nebraska out and about today...taken by Samsung but posted from the home desktop !

Is that the mouton/fleece lined one? I think that’s the best jacket in your stable. Somehow better than the standard sub.

Thanks and yes, one big drawback of this jacket is the big waist because they took out the side buckles, the previous owner must has a big stomach.....
