What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Monitor]

Hey Monitor, I keep thinking about the “three people”. If I may guess, it would be
1. DudeWTH for impeccable style.
2. Trenchfriend for admirable defiance and
3. A1 for getting out with only 3 (?) jackets.

Trenchfriend for sure, especially because of the denim shorts.

Lol, well, what I meant was people who do the whole get-up just right and in the spirit of the forum. Not saying anyone dresses badly of course - far from it, I find WJAYWT super inspiring every day - but Dude always looks like he walked out of the 1950's, even if it's the romanticized, movie version. I can't remember other peoples names (my brain is kind of messed up that way and can't wire words that aren't objects with anything so I hear names as mumbles and sounds) but for example, the awesome dude in jeans overalls and a jean jacket recently, etc.

Thanks you don't know how much I appreciate you saying that right now

Since I don't actually live in the '50s I'm hoping the romanticized version is acceptable

Also @dudewuttheheck's blog is great. In the sea of blogs which are click bait, almostvintagestyle actually delivers value and has plenty of fascinating reads.

30's Halfbelt in Navy Blue, a bit too snug all the way around, so listed back into the classifieds. So close yet...

You snatched this jacket right from under me on eBay. I shall never forget.

First jacket and your done. Now leave this forum while you can!

Seriously: very, very nice jacket and a perfect fit. I have to say, the Badalassi keeps growing on me.

I know the deal haha, happens with every hobby. First one is perfect so I shouldn't need anymore right? I wish that was the case haha. Thinking next one will either be a highwayman or maybe a hooch hauler in either navy or black cxl or dark seal. Have to get some contrast to this one!

Yes, I was hesitant to bid since one collar is smaller than another, but eventually went for it since the price is relatively low.
But you probably didn't know that I was just few seconds away from that Trojan.

I guess I should post more pictures of the Trojan.

The price of the Roadhouse was really low, and I fell asleep at the wheel. Lol.

Lesco MC jacket in size 40 came in today from eBay. Heavy hide, brass hardware. My first cross-zip. Not sure if the wife will let me rock it; she will say it is a textbook example of a mid-life crisis. I will say - honey, you ain't seen nothin yet - and will go buy a Harley... lol.

 

[Bfd70]

Tell her a “text book example of a midlife crisis” would be a 25 year old girlfriend but you figured the jacket was cheaper.


On second thought.....maybe don’t say it out loud.

If this is how midlife crisis looks like, I can't wait to get there. Perfect!!!

Schott 637 today. This is the Vintage with "vintage bouquet" jacket from a while back.
Same jacket where I had to bolster the starting to tear Zipper tape with Superglue ?
That repair looks good for years to come. AND the jacket now smells nice !
Eucalyptus woolwash and R.M. Williams Leather treatment.
Good layering jacket for "winter" this , no zipped sleeves so another "car coat"
Only an untucked T below today , as it hit 22C with surprisingly little wind

Eh it's no big deal. When you put yourself out there as much as I do, backlash is inevitable.

Why do you say so? I'm not disagreeing, but I'm quite curious.
