What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Psant25]

Is your jacket for Johnson leathers? I saw one like yours at JL last week in HH overdye, sweat jacket, perfect fit. I was told 3.25 to 3.5 OZ.
Edit I just noticed the JL label. Who needs Lost Words

How was the leather? Pretty uniform and looked nice? After you mentioned that I am now thinking of another chp form JL maybe in this hh. They posted a pic of a type three in hh overdye that looks great

I was there for an alteration on an Aero Connolly jacket. 5 years ago Alan supervised the building of a custom jacket based on the Levi speedway form 3.25 shaved down CXL overdye steer hide. I prize the jacket it has developed nice graining. I experience professional fitting and customer service through the jacket making process.
Say anyone willing to start a Johnson Leather tread to highlight JL jackets and the company?

It's not, mine has wider shoulder, longer back length and shorter sleeves, I have not check the pit to pit, the lining on chest pocket is also different.

Leather lined hand warmers and quilted sleeve?

Yes, but chest pocket is not white canvas, back length is longer.

monitor, You well that 613 well

I would say my JL is the best jacket I have so far, just little concern if the quality of JL will varies without @Alan@JohnsonLeather supervision.

Same people behind the scene and not to say Alan is not involved, just because he does not work the store.

Interesting! I thought that I had the last of the purple flannel liner. Sleeves do look shorter. Must’ve been a copy and paste. Good taste whoever did it. LOL.

It is indeed. Do you recalled the weight of flannel lining?

It was heavy. Like a thick blanket.

My attempt a sizing down 2x on a standard Highwayman.. size 44 Jacket on my 48 body.. feels pretty good actually.

Boyo - a very timely post from my selfish perspective...I am considering buying a CR that is shortish for my frame and will fall exactly where this jacket falls on you. This jacket looks a mite shortish on you, being a 44. Are you happy with this length? What does the Lounge say? Sorry if I am derailing the thread, but this is super-timely and would love to hear opinions.

Nailed it! But you failed to
Fully crop your shorts so I give you a 95% rotten lounge score. Still damn good. Congrats man. Jacket is perfect and fit too.

I actually don’t think it’s all that short, I dont notice the length at all when it’s on. could It be the angle of the photos?

Yup, guilty as charged.. as long as I’m working from home there will be no long pants when it’s 90+ degrees.
Thanks for letting me slide on the untucked t- shirt too.

Wait... Is the untucked shirt a thing!?? LOL.

Looks great. I think that pattern really compliments your frame.

Too hot for leather so denim gets the call again. Been wearing this Lee repro pretty much wherever I go:

This is how cool I hope I look in my jackets!!

Yep, Monitor looks very cool in his jackets and many can't match this. It's funny how even when a jacket fits well, it's another thing entirely to look cool in it.
