What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Pandemic]

Heading out for a Father’s Day lunch and we got a little rain. It’s still warm, but I figure I can throw on this ultralight 8oz Marcella jacket. It’s a very open weave which makes it perfect for summer. I’m hoping it will shrink a bit after a wash.

And since I am doing awkward photos in the driveway I might as well bask in the FL for a couple of minutes. @JCSD ’s self portraits always inspire me to do a better job of photographing my jackets … but then I run outside and get all self conscious in case the neighbors are watching and get it done in sixty seconds or less, lol.

Appreciate the kind words. Your pics and jackets are equally killer!

Since my car was totaled by a falling tree i have been on the bike everyday.
Currently these two have been my daily riding jackets.
If the weather is bad i prefer the leathertogs A, if it is very hot i prefer the B as riding with the jacket partially zipped lets a lot of air in.
Both are as comfortable on the bike, no forward restriction, no balooning, only slight negative is that the back could be 1" longer, but that would make the front too long...

They are without a doubt my two favourite LW:

looks broken in, interesting that the upper back of the sleeve crease exactly the same on both jackets (the back of left arm bulged out and the back of right arm tucked in), you must have done similar repetitive movements to crease them that way while in them

I like your pictures fine. But boy do I know the feeling of sneaking outside and hoping the neighbours don’t notice…

Great jacket and perfect fit, BTW!

I gotta start to be more creative with my photos after seeing all these beautiful shots here

The weather has cooled down and I got the chance to wear this 5* again.

Is this collar made from another jacket? If yes (or no), looks great!

The collar is original to the jacket and is non-detachable.

Ah, got it! This reminded me of the jacket you had made into a collar. I was going to say: it’s looks incredibly well done!

Regardless, an amazing coat with an awesome fit!

It is currently around 35 degrees Celsius. Definitely no jacket weather. I'm afraid I won't wear the next jacket again until September. Except for my shearling vest ... I will take it with me for camping if it should get cool in the evening.

We went from 26 to 14 but it's warming back up slowly. That shearling vest certainly comes in handy out there.

Same here. At least tonight seems a bit cooler than the last few days. It was literally 30 Celsius yesterday during midnight. Insane.

@King B Your jacket is developing some nice color.

Really really like this one

I feel the same, I really liked the design from the beginning but I wasn't expecting it to develop so nicely even though I didn't wear it for too long.

Finally scored a mint condition Gibson & Barnes M-422a repro after numerous years of searching. The company is sadly no longer making this jacket but I was fortunate enough to find this one on the ‘Bay. It’s a very, very good copy (at a fraction of the cost of the top tier repro makers) of the WW2 Gordon & Ferguson M-422a. G&B really nailed the details: the salmon pink rayon lining, the dark russet (light seal?) goatskin, single-ply rib & rack waistband and, best of all, the super plush honey-rust fur collar! Jacket fits perfectly. This one has immediately leap frogged to the head of the line as my go-to/everyday jacket.
