What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Been a while, busy raising a new black Lab baby girl :)

Got a hankering for a sizing down of one of my Schott models, so here's my size 40 (down from 42) Schott Perfecto 118

I would categorize it as a similar fit but slightly longer than my size 42 613

I would say the pockets are slightly easier access probably because of the slightly longer length

So far sitting in my office there is the curse of the slightly longer jacket causing the shoulders to rise a tiny bit when seated. But I think that the softer naked cowhide will make it ease down to the shoulders after a few days especially once I ride with it

Finally I always forget the slight difference in color tone of the flatter naked cowhide vs. steerhide and how bad *** it looks with any sort of casual dress pant and some doc martens in this case vegan flat black ones which I don't think you can see in the pics

...don't know why the pics are uploading sideways as that's never happened in my previous posts, sorry :(

Not the best focus sorry, and I had some fun while editing out my ugly mug on the photos haha.

The jacket is Chinese made and I got it for under 100usd(had some vouchers on Ali so I took the plunge).
I will post a more in depth review in the "Chinese leather jacket"-thread later, but in my opinion it is hitting WAY above it's price point.

That is a very cool jacket! Under $100 USD!! Incredible. I’ll look forward to reading your review in the Chinese jacket thread.

At this point, you cannot tell when the last leather jacket day will be. A couple weeks ago I had to buy shorts as temps started warming up, then they went back down. Anyway, Vanson Chopper today, which may just be my favorite jacket so far:

For 100 USD, that's a steal. Even if in a couple years it's completely ruined, nobody could complain!

Good fit, but I think I liked the LW Buco better.. it was a louder jacket though, this one here is more subtle.
I used to love D pockets. Then I woke up one day and didn’t. I thought I’d try and swing all the way in the other direction with a minimalist approach. After living with it 2 weeks, while i love the leather and the craftsmanship, I think perhaps I should have gone with DH‘s “riders bible” perfecto layout.
