What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

@alish ^^^great jacket. You found a nice one. Here is mine.

@JMax Very nice!!! I wish mine was a white label with the diamond zip pull on the chest; and the front panels on mine aren't matched for grain at all. But still pretty happy with the find! All the panels but one have really nice leather. Yours is awesome!! Maybe someday I'll find a 36 like that for a good price. There's a beautiful one on the 'Bay but for $400, or maybe it's $450...I can't remember. Too steep for me. Although, I guess if I sold all three of my jackets then I could get the one! Hmmm, something to think about maybe... LOL

I got super lucky and found this one for $100. But yeah, they normally go for a bit more. I’m always looking out for white label H-D jackets. The cross zips can get pricier, especially their PJ-27 copy.

If you like vtg CRs, I would recommend a Cal (my favorite). Maybe a Bates.

At Fine Creek that's worth a premium

Great jacket and cool TShirt. But what’s with that massive scarf? Has London weather deteriorated this much…?

I live in Northern England and the temperature drops down to single figures after sun down

Matchless leather jacket

Have you ever held onto a clothing piece because you’re told that it’s unique or hard to get? I’ve had this Flat Head Deerskin jacket for months and have only pulled it out a few times. I love the soft hand of the deerskin and the color is a great neutral tone. However, it feels so fragile and delicate compared to some of my more robust pieces like the Field Leathers Shinki or Freewheelers Shinki that it always gets passed up. Decisions decisions …

Exploring bars in Austin, Buda, Hills area. Hot here but not humid like god-forsaken Miami. All good. Loving it here.

Austin is awesome I am told, have friends there. Hope to visit one day. Keep it weird!

Too hot and humid but I put it on this afternoon because... well, I miss it
Anxiously awaiting November....
Eastman Leather Star Sportswear A-2 (size 42)
Just got this awesome Olive drab short sleeve cotton canvas field shirt from C.C. Filson. Not unlike L.L. Bean cotton canvas shirts but L.L.Bean didn't have a vintage WWII Army Olive Drab... they have some nice greens but not like this one. Filson is a bit more pricey than LL though.
True to fit whereas LL Bean shirts always run very large (just FYI to keep in mind.)
Paired with a modern chocolate brown polyester neck tie and Bronson 1942 Army khaki chinos, vintage NOS 1942 army canvas web belt from JQMD (Jeffersonville Quartermaster Intermediate Depot ) and a 1948 Royal Stetson Whippet fedora.

Aero Maxwell. Got it a couple weeks ago and now it’s 80-90 degrees everyday. Sigh.

Saturday night and I'm drunk with my friends (you guys). This Schott 618 seriously rocks as a motorcycle jacket. I would put it against any Shinki for M/C use. $700 vs $2000. Are you gonna patch up a Shiki or a Schott? Ride in the the rain? Schott vs Shinki for m/c use?

I prefer thicker leather to ride. If the Shinki is thick, like the one used on my SB CR, then I’m good to go.

those high chairs seem not ideal to prop your jacket, might topple backward.

Ha, i always check high chairs before hanging my jackets on them. They have to be sturdy and well balanced.
