Post your KEEPER jackets. Here's mine and I mean it this time..!!

[El Marro]

I don't see myself moving this one tho perhaps making a switch for one with belt loops...

That’s so funny, I really prefer these jackets without belt loops, eliminated them on both my Langlitz and my Lost World.

Can I give you $1M for it?

Well, doesn't it go something like "A wise man changes his mind sometimes, but a fool never"? Which is to say sold.

But you can't put the belt on the jacket, then. I constantly switch belts and would like to do so on jackets. But sadly, I nevjackets with belt loops. I need another Schott 125, that's what I need.

Aero's goat comes into its own when dealing with more humid climates- it's substantial without being unwieldy (which HH is in those climes). The goat worked fantastically well in the relatively milder Asian winters, and, like HH, showed no signs of any mould or being affected by the summer heat in any way. Shanghai or Seoul in the winter, though, and you need the weight.

I've been of the opinion for quite a while now that in terms of quality and wearability, goat is actually the best leather you can have your jacket made of. I don't find it as pretty as some other leather but just a few jackets I've had in goat I have found to be considerably superior to cow or horse. Goat rocks.

I would not let this Cal go. If you or trusted F&F ever visit California take your jacket to Cal Leathers and ask to have belt loops re-installed with matching stips of leather.

It is the philosophy of this forum. [emoji846]

Vintage Bormcolt horsehide jacket with bi-swing shoulders and the original plaid liner, c. 1940’s.

Nice Jacket, perfect fit. These great lining just faded away with the use of synthetic materials in the 50s. I'd like to see the zipper pull and stop. Have not seen this label. You have found some very nice vintage jackets in a larger size. They look great!

Difficult to keep track of so many jackets. Difficult question to answer. not sure I can. Also a nice selection.

Thanks Terry,I found a couple of jackets last week that I forgot I had,,was a great feeling and they were in great shape and fit perfectly.My motorcycle jacket collection are all immaculate due to hardly any use ,thanks to Scottish weather & babysitting the grandkids,,

Before you scroll through: yes I have a problem and it's owning way too many (shearling) jackets.

My Aero B-6 was my go-to jacket this past winter. Perfect weight and cut.

Aero B-3. Only pulled out on frigid Chicago days. The colors alone on this jacket make it worthwhile.

Hugo Boss shearling peacoat. It's an easy way to "dress up" with a jacket.

...and a second Boss jacket with the softest shearling I've ever felt.

...and a third one from Boss. This one has a nylon exterior that makes it better for wet weather.

Drome shearling. I just like the style.

A.P.C. x Carhartt. Got a few Carhartt jackets for yard work. But this is the one I wear out as a casual jacket.

This is my favorite jacket of the thread so far. That thing just screams quality.

They don't make 'em in 46 though so I won't be buying one.

I wouldn’t sell any of my Old Town jackets, but these are period styled 3- and 4-button fastening twill, corduroy, or moleskin ‘sports’ jackets.
Of my outerwear jackets, my keepers are:
Freewheelers Journeyman in black deerskin. I wore this today in torrential rain in Bristol and was warm and dry. I reflected today that this one is so comfortable (much more so than the horsehide variant), and ticks so many boxes for work and casual use, that if I’d bought this first many years ago then I probably would have bought no other leather jackets.

Powersci - I would not say you have a problem at all. I would say welcome - you fit in well here!

Also you live in Chicago - good reason for shearling lined jackets right there.

Do you have any more pics of the Aero B-3? Normally redskin looks kind of orange to my eye but this looks amazing, a real deep red.

I agree! But...the insurance company says, "you need a rider just for your jackets." And then there's my husband's reaction when he sees a new jacket in the closet:

It's definitely a dark red color, no matter how bright the light is shining on it.

You might have a problem if you were based in Florida or Cali, but in Chicago - hell no! This is a beautiful shearling jacket collection for the Windy City.

Hahaha, that’s my girlfriends reaction as well!

I’ve started hiding new purchases from her. Then I just randomly slip it on after hiding it deep in the closet for a month. That way when she asks “is that a new jacket?!” I can say “nah, I’ve had it for a while” with a straight face [emoji23]
