What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Cornelius]

I've got a decent "oil man sweater", an old Pendleton I scored on Maxwell Street years ago, with buttons made from Buffalo nickels(!). One elbow was shot, but still worth the bargain purchase. These days my GF has stolen it as her house sweater, doubt I'll get it back... which is fine, gives me an excuse to buy another sweater.

My first coach had a fruit and veggie stand on Maxwell St!

This was acquired on the most recent incarnation of 'Maxwell Street', on Des Plaines north of Roosevelt. From "The Sweater Guy," who... only sold sweaters. Proper wool ones. Like $5 each or something nuts, off of a folding plastic table. Maybe 7 years ago? Used to go every Sunday & hit Rubi's for Quesadillas, my friends called it "going to church."

Upper 30’s here today. Thought I’d try this combo for running a few quick errands (mostly in the car). I’ve looked for my perfect “Oil man” sweater for years. This isn’t quite it but for $30 from Target it’s not half bad.

LOL. My movie pick tonight is cemented. Love DDL. The guy is just insanely talented and seemed to walk on by the Hollywood *******t.

Man it’s been so long since I’ve been down that way. I lived at Peoria and Randolph for years. There’s a great Mexican joint Perez right there. I could tell a funny story about how I nearly burnt it to the ground. The furthest south I’d go was Roosevelt for the massive Target and Dominicks for groceries. Maybe 3 years ago I was down around St. Ig College prep. The neighborhood has really changed. I remember Madison Ave being loaded with hookers from Damen all the way to Austin driving to work... All condos and LA Tan on Halsted now. Greek town seemed to shrink. Need to hit up Taylor street one of these days. Can’t imagine it’s faired too well given the circumstances. Man I miss living in the real Chicago. Ravenswood area might as well be Lincolnwood with a tiny hint of hot sauce.

My recently arrived (last night!) Leather trucker. Fits slightly "big" so will join the "winter" roster for layering if required.
Made by '57 Heavy in goat I am reliably told. Busy surf school in the background ( school summer holidays here y'see !)
No country of origin/manufacture to be found.....
Bought used ex-UK

This old jacket from Boss is about 20 years old. It once had a coating on the fabric that looked like it was made of leather. Unfortunately, cleaning it destroyed it. I'm thinking of a remake of this jacket with some modified details and made from leather. Let's see.

I like it, just the way it is! Fits you perfectly!

Thedi MTCB-127922 just arrived (thank you “mygar”). Incredible. Fits just how I want it. Will follow up with fit-pics.

That Thedi is beautiful! I have a Thedi, but yours is the one I want!

Aero Type III in Rust Goat Suede....the rust goat suede is the nicest leather I've handled from Aero so far...I've handled pretty much all of their leathers and trusted Ken from Aero in this case. He said that he made the first jacket out of rust goat for himself since about 20 years (if I remember correctly) as this is his favorite leather in his portfolio. I'm just not yet sure if I'm a trucker jacket kind of person and if I should let it go and order another jacket of their wonderful rust goat!

That's a beautiful Trucker jacket. It looks good on you, you should keep it. IMHO, The only thing that I would change about the fit are the sleeves. Truckers should have slimmer sleeves.

I know not the first picture of this jacket, but there's nothing like wearing a Thedi leather jacket, especially in this canvas and leather combination MTC C1279405

Super cool jacket! Always like Thedi leathers.

That part of the west loop has changed so dramatically, really wild. I guess a ton of the property there is owned by sterling bay who is running the new “lincoln yards” development, I assume they pushed a lot of it. I’m on Halsted, south of archer...
What was your JP Graziano’s order?

Jacket for the home office.
Unfortunately, every time I put this jacket on, I think that I should actually sell it, because I keep struggling with the size. View attachment 289404

IDK, I looked thru the pics, It looks good on you. I have jackets that feel snug, but motorcycle jackets are supposed to be a bit snug. I think it's acceptable.

Ship John Wills showed up today. I didn’t plan on going for a walk but since it’s 40 and raining lets give it a test.

Nice jacket! Nice kit too! Are those Wesco boots?

That jacket fits perfect from front view, just curious how the back fits?
