What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[ton312]

Good Wear Leather Coat Company Two Tone Italian Horsehide in russet with seal accents.
Taking a break from the beach, thought I would see if I still fit into this jacket. I don't wear jeans, or leather jackets much these days, and it was cloudy so I gave it a go, but just couldn't put on any shoes. This jacket is really a unique design and probably the only one like it. JC sure does nice work.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a jacket I like more than this one. This is THE Arcadia. The whole look is spot on man. Excellent!

What happened with the Aero? Did you return it?

I will return it when they open in July. As nice as it was, and in a looooot of ways it is so much nicer than this old Ibex (leather quality, styling details, hardware, construction) it didn’t fit me comfortable in the shoulder area.

Aye, shame to hear that. Well, you got this perfection of a suede trucker, instead! All good!

It’s a real bummer to have to send it back. First time that I’ve had to return an Aero. But yeah, this is a great replacement jacket!

There’s something about it though.

Glad to see you are keeping it for awhile. Hope her machine and needles can handle The Real Deal.

The Vanson AR3 without the armor installed weighs in at 7.1 lbs. @Hh121 thought you would be interested. Nice, and impressive for a cafe, straight zip jacket.

Impressive, definately 4oz hide, no more heavy jacket for me, my Wested indy jacket weights 3.6 lbs and I love it.

Dena is the real-er deal. Plus all the fight has been taken out of the leather via a belt sander. It’s basically just like a lump of brown clay.

Hijacked account.

Breaking in again, came back from mini market, the front is darkening just from being hung on my window frame facing out when not being worn

That spread collar works so good with the curved frontpanel design!

Thanks. Yeah, I think the contrasting colors make the collar pop.

Thanks Ton. My leather jacket collection is comparatively limited. Your adventures are always an inspiration.

I feel like someone just walked over my grave. You ok HH? Is this a cry for help?

Lol, I am more than just ok, lightweight skin is fun.

Perfectly fitting PHWM is one of the nicest jackets around imo.
