What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Jin431]

@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

Yes, that was very cool to see. Grains on that jacket is wonderful to say the least. Man, I'm sure you're rotation must be 15 jackets deep lol

Got it, hope that squeaking goes away but if not it's not a deal breaker at all. That's a very sweet memory you'll share with her when she's grown.

Johnson leathers 1920’s leather tank. This thing makes all my other jackets feel like Carl Budding Deli meat. Just an insanely stout piece of hide. Great cut. Absolutely love it! Thanks @jonbuilder !!!

Nice pick up! Another JL winner for sure! That looks like it will fight back before you break that tank in! Congrats

35C as forecast for our Saturday morning Harley ride. Jacket today my only "genuine" HD denim trucker.
Rarely worn, only on days such as today. Not an out of town ****** , all inner metro and coastal.
Max speed 80Km/H (50MPH) plus Saturday traffic (not the worst !)
Not the best shot of the jacket , it is a bit HD "corporate branded" , too much so for away from the bike wear.
Works well, tight close sleeves to prevent "ballooning" and a hidden snap on each collar to avoid "whipping".
VERY good internal pocketing large enough for maps etc.
Well made, "MADE IN THE USA" , as usual no original makers mark ( actively discouraged by HD no doubt)
I have had this jacket since 2006 , when I bought a 2006 35th Anniversary Dyna , same tank badge/logos as this jacket.
From the HD 2006 "jacket collection". I like the light blue, absorbs way less heat at the red lights compared to leather !
And yeah yeah , that's our Harleys parked across from the pub and the Indian Ocean backdrop (as usual !)
The beer is Balter Brewing "Captain Sensible" pale ale , which sums me to a T (haha..)

Yes, I agree, I love mine. They’re the original cowboy cut. Sadly not offered in Europe, I bought mine from Amazon. High waist and sturdy but not fancy denim. Super cheap, like 30-40 dollars.

Its been cold but along the coast /L.I. we only got about 6-8" of snow...about 50 miles north they're counting the recent snowfall in feet..I think @Worf up near Albany is probably still shoveling

Better shots of the Johnson leathers button front. Man do I love this thing. Despite the weight it’s incredibly easy to wear. Feels like a heavy leather blanket.

Looks great on you; please keep it!
