What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[AeroFan_07]

Just a little critique here on the Y’2 shirt-jacket. I have to say, this piece as compared to my Iron Heart HH shirt is so much nicer and more refined. The fit is actually better than IH (although I can’t believe I just admitted that) The fact that the Y’2 is completely lined inside (the IH is not) makes a huge difference, in terms of comfort.

The only thing I do not like about the Y’2 are the snaps. They might have gone a little overboard with their ornamental style. If they had used, simple silver or brass snaps, I would’ve bought one of these beautiful Y’2 shirt/jackets a long time ago. What do you guys think?

I personally like this Merv - wonder if the snaps would look a little nicer if it were black instead of brown?

Finally getting a chance to post some photos again. I have been wearing my jackets a lot, just not not taking many photos. Finally got a mild, sunny day so went out near a lake and took a few. First up is a relative newcomer, the "US-Made" cafe racer. Review will be coming soon.

Sun was a little bright to see much for details on this, so with my other jacket I have been frequently wearing I turned around in the same area.

Perhaps it's a comfort to Stuart that some of us wear his creations in wooded areas at times.

Happy Saturday all!

Greetings All:
Dropping in with an old Cal straight zip Pig jacket. I bet this cop, with a sense of humor, was really ****ed when someone came at his jacket with a blade. Whomever stitched it up must have been a heart surgeon.
I Bin’d this so fast for about $75 several years ago before i saw the railroad track scars and never tried it on. Ashamed because it’s a fine old Cal but kinda cool looking still.
I laughed when i saw the pigs carved under the badge and back of kidney panel. Gotta be a great story behind it. Prob involves “my best friend’s girl...friend, that used to be mine”. Cars78’

Nicely done

someone else told me the same exact thing. I think the problem with the pale rider is they used the wrong leather. It's supposedly veg tanned, but I have my doubts. At best it's combo because it has all the CXL qualities or whatever veg tan formula they used is not very good. No signs of it softening up which would be nice for a "shirt" so you get some drape. Instead it wears like a tortoise shell. I still like it, but it definitely can be improved next go round for sure.

I guess, I never really compared the two up until now. (Two completely different animals) I tried on the Y’2 way before I got my Pale Rider. Although the shirt is absolutely stunning, the snaps just turned me off. I don’t know if it’s my personal aesthetic, or others feel this way. Wearing a leather shirt is already “razzle dazzle” don’t think ya need fancy snaps too!

Well, I guess a person could have the snaps replaced, if they were so inclined. I think a nice aged brass would’ve been better on the Y’2.

Quite a few companies doing leather shirt/jackets now. But, Y’2 and IH have the best fits for sure.

I will hit it with fine grit sand paper right away, I'm ok with matte silver snaps, but not a glossy chrome or bright shiny brand new brass.

this jacket all over the place in a good way. Two different sleeve zippers too. That stitching is wild.

The shirt looks vintage as from the past. Perhaps they wanted to achieve this

Spearpoint wool western. Definitely one of the cooler things I’ve picked up in awhile. Feels like something Nick Cage would wear at the end of a movie where he has to defeat Gary Busey.

Did a bit of gallery crawl yesterday in NYC to see great David Hockney at Pace Gallery. Saw a few people in leather jackets - you know, the artsy-fartsy crowd. None as good as TFL. Ever an outlier, I wore my grungy waxed canvas, lol.

Ok, in fact I only wore the D-1 today on the way back from paddling.

Love your church attire, Brother.
God loves a good leather man.
Wonder how many suits coveted the Aero?
