What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

The arm creases are really starting to appear. Any brown showing through yet on the overdye Dave?

This one might go under the knife depending on how it fits her. The leather is so nice! It’s the first time i haven’t had the urge to condition a jacket straight away.

These Fidelity “IR” jackets are awesome. They seem to fit well on many different body-types.

Not yet! I actually like that the top coat is wearing more slowly.

I was eyeballing that Sportclad when it was for sale on eBay. It looked like it was rarely worn. Very cool coat.

Bone-chilling cool! Yes it's like new. I've been kind of saving it back and cherishing it. I've been after that jacket. A size 44 too, perfect.

Low 70s blustery and rainy today, so I decided to put on some winter gear and do a road trip way up to the North side. The light weight cow hide and A2 pattern was perfect for a cruise to Hanalei in my Prius with the AC blasting.

Is this Photoshop to show how it will age or is this panel mismatch for real?

Showing how it will age

First time I saw it I was l what the???? Too

Weird but cool at the same time. It would be neat to see more makera do that. They say its fast aging hide too

The Modoc was from last night . . . tonight, I eschewed quality in favor of history and strapped on this heap of junk haphazardly manufactured by Buco:

I'm still not yet quite sure what is it that you mean by the historical influence of this jacket, as it isn't really influential in any significant way, but it does fit you very well and looks great.

Perfect fit and you look very happy with it!

@Monitor:
Wasn't Buco J-100 a precursor of the modern cafe racer jacket? Or were there earlier ones and the Buco is popular because it took on a certain mystique?

There were much earlier ones. If I am not mistaken, the style as we know it appeared some 20 years before Buco.

I believe Buco is became popular after Rin Tanaka declared the J-24 to be the best jacket ever, the hype automatically spilling over to anything branded Buco (happened around the time the cafe racer was also super trendy among Hollywood stars, too) but I honestly never heard anything about the J-100 having any influence on a cafe racer style, ever.
