    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Would be very interested to hear more of people’s impressions and thoughts on this one. Seems like a good opportunity to buy what is effectively a vintage replica jacket of a type most of us would not be able to find a good example of in the wild, for a reasonable price, and new. I get the...

    That Johnson jacket looks great! And Kvelertak are a great band!

    What was your first leather jacket?

    The first I had was bought by my parents in the mid 80s and was a cheap a2 inspired black jacket from a mall. It didn’t last very well and ended up covered in mould after getting wet in the rain and me not knowing enough to care for it appropriately. The first leather jacket I bought myself...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    It Is indeed a cone shovel of very mixed pedigree. I bought the base bike off a guy who was a talented builder here in the UK. I then spent a year or so collecting parts (like the 70s girder front end) and ideas, and returned the bike to Benny of Boneshaker choppers, and he put it all together...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I have referred back to them several times, thank you! Seems your jacket has wider shoulders and a narrower chest than they are officially advising, and in their description of the jacket they say explicitly that the length of the jacket is 24 inches, which is only true of the small ‍*shrugs*

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Interesting - as the ‘official’ figures a Schott gave seem proportionally a bit too narrow in the shoulders for their chest size. The measurements you have given seem much more reasonable

    This is the size chart for the Schott 568 if anyone was interested but hesitating about the sizing. Unfortunately, I don‘t think it will work for me but everybody is different!,

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Seems to be a common approach with some successful companies, doing a little re-writing of history! Interestingly, Schott did previously release a limited edition ‘1928’ D-pocket (there’s one on eBay at the moment) and there are quite a few differences with the cut between that one and the 568...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I’ve noticed that Schott say that this is a limited ‘first run’: I wonder if they are planning on following it up with some refinements or use other leathers? I get that it seems very close to a copy of the Sears jacket, and that might open them up to some valid criticism - but I feel quite...

    It is indeed! Thank you. The brown one I posted earlier was from 2014. I haven’t got a date on this one but I suspect it’s earlier. Both are labelled 38 but this one is slightly roomier for me (42 inch chest relaxed)

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Exactly! The ZX4rr looks like an amazing bike. I’ve had a 636 and it was too much bike for riding in the roads, and without the flickability of the little ninja. Seems like the 4rr could potentially tick both those boxes. Would love to try one out but they aren’t exactly sitting around in...

    VERY nice. I currently have a 1999 Harley softail and a Kawasaki Ninja 300 (and still own and wear two Triumph T-shirts too)

    I like the subtle nod to the ‘King Of Cool’, with that tshirt I had a 1969 Trimuph Daytona a few years back and I tell you what, a guy feels like Steve McQueen on a bike like that.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I failed to attach writing to this one somehow. Anyway, I posted my brown Aero the other day and thought it would make sense to follow up with its dark sibling. I was working today though and that involved walking in the rain, so truthfully I had on a pretty un-stylish raincoat on for the most part.

    That is something special. Any more details on this one?

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thank you @AbbaDatDeHat - I appreciate the welcome and the sage words. It was a minor niggle that, although I felt it was a good length for me, that I might be breaking a sartorial ‘rule’ about cuff length that I wasn’t aware of. Nice to hear some pragmatic and supportive replies here. There’ll...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks @Bfd70 and @Monitor - that’s good to hear. The sleeves on my black Aero are a little longer but still not right down onto the back of my hand. I imagine opinions would vary, but it’s encouraging to get a couple of positives. Much appreciated.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Wearing this Aero Highwayman today, from 2014. Love the colour and the FQHH is less shiny and somehow softer than my black Aero. What do you think about the sleeve length? Personally I often fold back sleeves on denim jackets etc so they are more out of the way, so I quite like these just...
