Good to hear I am not the only one wearing jackets for in-house activities to break them in..
Yeah I think at this point for me it would be the only way I have not counted but I think I’m at about 30 to 33 jackets in and don’t get me wrong I love them all I’m not selling not one of them but realistically I have to find ways to start to wear them more chose my aero type 3 to wear to commute to work on cool days and I’m going to wear the stiffer jackets during video game sessions lmao till the fall then I can start to put miles on them

Love it gents! @Pandemic that MF looks like it was made for you :D you really hit the spot when choosing that beauty!

@X83 That Shinki looks amazing, I handled 3-4 Shinki jackets and the leather aren't always great, but when you get a nice piece Shinki looks absolutely bomb!

Cheers!
Yes Jl took care of me on this one I will post the one I had made for my brother also as a b day gift not sure if I ever posted it

I feel you man! I am occasionally lamenting about not being able to wear my jackets at work because I have so many and wished I could wear them more.. it is mostly commuting, grocery shopping and other daily tasks where they see wear, far too little time to actually put miles on all of them. Then again, I am just in my mid-30s now, so plenty of years ahead to wear them.. or that's how I justify my purchases these days anyway - apart from simply accepting and admitting this jacket endeavour is at least partially a collecting thing, not an utility thing.

Just received this gorgeous Swedish made jacket from the 50s, it's made out of goat and the leather is as amazing as many old Swedish/European jackets from that time were, sorry for the messy trousers lol :D

@X83 please do post it :D

What a find! That looks stunning.

I’m enjoying a week back home in the Southern Hemisphere, even if it’s just a mild Perth winter. Perfect for the MF Campus and a vintage Lee 101J
