... Which 3 would it be? No budget limits, doesn't need to be a jacket you currently own.
Explain which model, which leather from which brand, and why.
You can't swap them, sell them, replace them, except by the exact same jacket if impossible to repair.
I'll start, order doesn't mean preference:
- Shangri-la heritage Varenne steerhide:
It's pliable, very comfy yet quite sturdy. My most versatile and comfortable jacket by far. It's elegant and rugged at the same time.
It goes with almost anything for almost all occasions without standing out too much, layered or not, with or without the wool collar.
- Lost Worlds, Speed Demon or my Lightning 402 sample, 3.0-3.5oz.
Tank cross-zip for concerts and nights out at the bar. I don't like LW's ultra thick leather, and am completely happy with their thinner yet still plenty tanky hides.
- Aero Leather shearling lined HB deluxe in Vicenza horsehide takes the cake.
It's very wearable, comfy and toasty, without CXFQHH's thickness and clamminess in cold weather. Definitely my favorite jacket for colder days.
Last pick was very difficult, I really wanted to take Rainbow Country's Hercules or TFH's café racer.
Alas, while RC's Herc is absolutely beautiful to look at and wear especially for city center strolls and restaurant dates, I find it too difficult to pair with everything in all occasions compared to the SLH Varenne, and not "specialized" enough compared to Aero's shearling HB for cold and LW's HH for rugged and rough conditions like spilled drinks and moshpits in concerts.
