My guilty secret...

[Guppy]

When you own as many leather jackets as I do, you tend to feel that they need to be worn around the house just to give them the amount of wear they require to look properly broken in. It feels weird at first, but after a while you rationalize it by thinking of how weird the things other people do in private must be.

You have no idea how weird it can get. Which point was brought home to me last week. But I can't share details. Suffice it to say, I no longer consider wearing a jacket in the house to be weird.

48f at 7a. Out for 4 hours running errands in a Sheene. First jacket wear of year. Windows open. By 11 it was 62 and by the time I got was too warm. Back in the closet.

Guilty as charged!!!!!!!! D-1 soon & then Irvin time..hopefully oh, & their nylon counterparts

I've had my Booklegger sitting in the bedroom since I bought back in the year, just so I could throw it on every so often and *help break it in*. This morning the thermometer was at 9C when I was up (6am) but by the time I was driving home it was up at 16C, so the Irvin stays stored for the time being...

One of my favorite reasons for living in Alaska is that no matter the time of year it is always good jacket weather. 3 months of summer for my moto leathers, 2 month swing seasons for my mid-weights and 5 months brutally cold for the shearlings.

I've slept in jackets and jeans both, to get a jump start on breaking them in. Just wearing them around the house is more than normal for me. I'll talk to friends on FaceTime or Skype sat in my PJ's with a leather jacket on. Makes them laugh but they aren't surprised anymore.

Wearing jacket over pj, going to the mall with the jacket and turning up the air conditioning at home... I feel so at home reading this thread. Hahahaha.

 

[Doctor Wholittle]

That's not weird at all!!!

Sooooo lucky.

I will wear a new leather jacket around the house to help with break in before I wear it in the wild. But only a new jacket and only for a week or so until it has loosened up a bit. And my wife thinks I am weird? I will show her this thread. She will think you guys are totally nuts. I understand, though.

@Peacoat not you too??!!

OK, we will now conjugate the verb Am Weird:
I am Weird
You are Weird
We is all Weird

Never wear a jacket in the house.
Regularly wear jackets on the veranda.
Often drive in blue and white stripe flannel PJ's and bergundy silk robe.
And that's not my guilty secret. Not even close.

Had the Model B on for a while the other day..........it wants me to put it on as much as I do !!

Whenever a brand new sheepskin jacket showed up (B-3, Irvins), I used to sleep in it that first night (I was single then, so no there was no wife-like person in my life to tell me "Hell no!" or "You're being so weird right now! What's wrong with you?"). I tell you, it was some of the best night's sleep I ever had, being snug in that fresh wool. Divine, certainly. Weird? I dunno. There's worse things to get up to in bed. It was harmless. Whatever.
Once the jacket's been outside though, I'd not do it again with that jacket.
But yes, the start of Fall and the first chill in the air is always the best. The bugs start disappearing and the jackets come out ... what's not to love about that?

Wife thinks that it's odd but I use my B3 as a house coat when it's chilly and typically use my ANJ-4 for the outdoors. I've also caught my daughter stealing my B3 when she's up early on the weekends cuddled up on the couch watching YouTube. Unfortunatly it gets too hot to wear it by mid morning for now.

I'm sure all these confessions should make everyone feel at ease!

Sure, just like junior high school - "but mom, all my friends needed antibiotics too after the prom..."

 

[Dumpster Diver]

You got me. Guilty as charged.

You know when you get happy because fall is coming and you had a colder weekend and a half rainy sunday? It happened today.
And my A2 was tested under some light rain. It was a pleasure.
