What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

In the 70s here, 30 degree drop coming Saturday. Broke out the JL vest for the occasion

Freewheelers Taildragger. It's actually bordering on freezing in socal. It does actually happen sometimes.

Nice jacket. Is that A3 leather or wax cotton?

Seriously scared of The Groke. Thankfully I have my Vanson C2 to protect me

60 in NY, too warm for February. Good weather to wear the Monarch, though.

You have an excellent selection of trousers I think.

Thanks - these are nothing particularly special - Banana Republic Factory - cheap and cheerful, but the canvas is not flimsy.

Interesting, not seen one like that before. I've just recently picked up a pair of Bronson A3s, one each in denim and HBT. Expect to find them handy travel companions in the Summer. Only been worn in the office so far on days the heating system failed; wouldn't trust them to outside Winter wear, but they kept things comfortable in a cold indoor setting. Should be great for getting through airports and long haul flying when I need to stow in a jacket pocket for convenience.

This is my favorite jacket of yours and in the top 5 all time I’ve ever seen. That collar is absolutely perfect. I love that this CHP is a little low key. SUPERB!

Thanks Tony, appreciate the comment. I like it very much too; I am constantly on the lookout for the same model with a label so we can know for 100% who made it. Monarch is a consensus from a dedicated thread, including Mr Sheeley's opinion.

I totally agree.
This could become my Regius project.

Swapped the D-1 for the vest in the office.

I am NY-area based, as is @regius . I would be happy to lent him the jacket so he can look at the patterns to copy.

She’s called Mårran in Sweden. I was really really scared of her when I was 5. Had nightmares and everything.

Everyday since receiving it. I absolutely love this style. The next one should be a better fit. This one is a bit Tommy boy’d when buttoned. I’d love to get a third with enough room for Dena to put a quilted liner in. Something about this style really scratches my itch. Prefer it over my wool halfbelts.

What you need is a Lakeland!

Cool A2, who’s the maker? The plaid lining and the zip are nice.

I know it’s not as nice as Iron Heart or Ship John, but this denim chore jacket from miner49er is still pretty darn nice. The price is right too!
