    Does anybody here add personal touches for their leather jackets?

    That's a good point. Personally all I care about is enjoying the jacket, and personalization is part of it for me. I'm not planning on value or profit...ect, once my journey with the jacket has ended it will go to a new home. Whether passing it down or selling if that's what it comes to as long...

    Does anybody here add personal touches for their leather jackets?

    I like just adding one to the existing pull, but it would certainly be a more necessary thing if the original pull was missing. I wouldn't add embroidery or patches or paint or anything too flashy, but I like adding small things to a jacket.

    Does anybody here add personal touches for their leather jackets?

    I like adding personal touches to all my jackets, especially adding a pin or two to my wool and denim. Leather I'll add a zipper pull of some kind, but pins are a different story. Normally I wouldn't, but from the day I got the jacket I've been thinking this pin would be perfect for it. I was...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    I have a USMC issue commando sweater that I quite like, especially after I cut off the epaulettes. It works very well under the USGI OG108 wool field shirt. And very well under my suede trucker too. I only have the one, but it's a very versatile warm piece. I may have to get another in a...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    As long as it's dry, at least 55°f, and I don't have to work, I'll probably be going with the pioneer wear trucker for awhile. So far I have gotten used to the lack of hand pockets, but I sure do wish it had them.

    You need to get into traditional wool.

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    the thing is that there are just so many black cross zips out there that it's hard for me to see one as being truly different than another, unless it had an eye catching lining and a brown or blonde mouton collar or something it wouldn't stand out as truly different. they don't literally all...

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    I suppose it's possible for me to warm up to one in a brown of some kind, but black I definitely don't see happening. My biggest complaint with my first leather jacket is that it's too dark of a brown and almost looks black, too boring in color so I added things to personalize it a bit. I've...

    That's definitely a nice looking leather. I really just like any not too dark brown more than black. If I was interested in them it would be different, but honestly all black cross zips basically look the same to me. Sure I can notice different panel lines on the back and some other significant...

    What is wrong with me?

    Leather jackets are extremely cool, but I too find myself wearing a leather jacket much less than my wool pieces or my sherpa lined denim jacket. I started exploring my lifelong love of jackets as a hobby with a leather jacket but got a vintage wool jacket not long after and soon realized how...

    Some beautiful lines on that one for sure. However this is probably going to sound crazy, but I actually don't really like cross zips and I'm especially not a fan of black leather jackets. I've seen some old ones that weren't dyed through and they looked awesome with the top coat wearing...

    Because I like mine so much I will share this picture posted by Marc mndt that I saved. Hopefully he doesn't mind me borrowing his picture. This is probably the first time I instantly fell In love with a jacket and thought I might remotely have a chance to own one, even more surprising was...

    sadly as a relatively new member who only recently decided to embrace my lifelong love of jackets I didn't really know or even have any real forum interaction with him that I can recall, but he has posted many beautiful jackets that I was envious of. his presence on this forum will certainly be...

    Denim Jackets - New or Vintage

    I also have this unlined counterpart to that one, from the same era. Some of the last US made Wranglers jackets, and sadly it really shows on this one because there were so many stray threads hanging off all over the place.

    Denim Jackets - New or Vintage

    1980's late production US made Wranglers sherpa. Nothing too fancy, but I'm definitely a Wranglers guy. Their pants are my go-to, and I love their jackets ( the original US made examples anyways) I Like the style, and how the hand pockets are kind of hidden in the panel lines. I bought a new...

    Denim Jackets - New or Vintage

    That's awesome, I love big Smith and their Buckaroo was one of the coolest looking denim jackets. I have a pair of their overalls and a puffer jacket that my grandfather brought back from the outlet or factory store when he went to visit his family back in Missouri. He gave them to my dad who...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I went with the 80's Wranglers Sherpa today. I was going to wear the pioneer wear trucker again because I just love that one so much, but decided to give it a break. Not that I've actually worn it a ton yet since it's been so rainy, if the weather is nice again tomorrow I'll wear it.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    The white stitching definitely sets the jacket apart and adds a subtle pop. Most of their jackets I've seen online are kind of gaudy overly 70's looking pieces, but then there's a few that are just absolute stunners. They all have some similarities to my jacket too, so I'm betting they had a...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    The suns out today so I'm wearing the pioneer wear trucker again, I also wore it on my birthday Friday but was too busy to snap a picture. This jacket over a Henley and commando sweater make a great warm yet still comfortable and flexible combination.
