What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

My Schott retro '30s style MC jacket that they don't make anymore...

@HoosierDaddy Did this jacket make the cut when you cut down the numbers on your leather outerwear?

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Yes Jin I used this as one of my MC riding jackets. It is an unusual rare Schott so I couldn't get rid of it.

 

[HoosierDaddy]

That looks to fit fine Hoosier. "Off the rack" I presume being Schott ? Perhaps made for HD ? (The MOCO that is !)

No it was made by Schott for their now defunct 'Retro' line. I purchased it in 2004.

Reason I ask is back in the 90's until the early/mid 2000's the "genuine HD" jackets from the dealer were all
" MADE IN THE USA" although the actual maker was never obvious. Since then most all Pakistan/Vietnam wherever.

One of my riding mates here , one of the Vietnam Vets , has a jacket so "similar" to this of yours bar it is a straight zipper collared jacket. From 2002 when he got the first V-Rod into Western Australia. ( he still has that bike today, it's the one in many of my photos)

I was thinking I hope you didn't release it to the wild cause it really looks great on you and it's most likely hard to come by. The leather looks great, and it still looks brand new too. It's probably one of those that don't crease so much. Love the lapels and the cuffs!

Today - Cockpit 100 Mission G-1

 

[jonesy86]

Low 70s F. at night, perfect leather jacket weather. I even put on shoes and long pants today. Only problem is that there is no where to go at night, especially with all the tourists staying home due to the 14 day quarantine, and many businesses closed. Day time temps. are still in the low 80s F., and the water temperature is often a little warmer than the air temp., so if it is not too stormy I will still get in an occasional swim. Not wearing this GW Arcadia Shinki however.

Thanks! It’s definitely a lot of fun to wear, feels special and unique. It’s an Aero. Seal Vicenza and dark brown mouton.

It's been a long while since I've posted anything, but here's today's: a no-brand garment-dyed indigo canvas chore jacket. As usual for anything I wear on colder days, layered over a regular old trucker.

If for some reason you ever decide to sell this one, send me a pm

I’m doing my best to avoid making any more stupid decisions, but if stupidity strikes again I’ll think of you first.

Thanks @Robbie79. I saw your two toned badalassi thread before I pulled the trigger and that looked so cool. I hope you still have it because that looks great on you. Yes, I love the tobacco badalassi so much I bought boots just to go with it lol. I know you've had quite a few badalassi jackets, does the squeaking ever go away?



Thanks @HoosierDaddy. I appreciate it. I'm actually debating myself if I would have JL tighten the fit (and add a removable mutton collar). The actual jacket measurements are off from what TB quoted me, it feels one size larger.

@Jin431 It's nice to hear that I obviously inspired you to buy a tobacco Badalassi Bootlegger! I wished the fit was as tight and perfect as yours but with a thicker sweater the fit is quite good, too. No, I can still hear the squeaking after wearing it a couple of times (only 5-10 times so far...too many choices...) but it doesn't bother me as it sounds like high quality leather at least in my ears Sometimes my 4-year-old daughter is asking me why my jacket makes such funny noises...in other words my jacket makes my daughter laughing which is not too bad I would say

It’s Friday so that means wearing the colors of the city’s unifying religion, lest the true believers blame my lacking zeal for any mishap during the coming contest.

Was it a Lost Worlds bath robe though?

 

[DrMacabre]

Can't be specific on the dating but here's a California Montgomery Ward horsehide jacket on top of the Bronson 1910 corduroy vest and 1930 duck canvas hunting pants.

No, I wasn’t wearing it after slaughtering an ogre or anything, but it was still pretty masculine.
