What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[casechopper]

First time wearing this jacket out. This one has passed through the hands of many loungers here before getting to me. Branded Garments Police Jacket.

Fantastic collar action there!

As a previous owner (I think), totally awesome jacket. Nice and warm, I’ll probably regret not having it when I finally move back north.

Granddaughter looked at the Wards Windward horse grain and passed out.
Be well. Bowen

This could be a Walter Dyer commercial

Not leather. 22oz Ultraheavyweight Slub Denim Jacket by Bravestar in LA, California. Fits like horsehide.

The Bates is almost dry:

Looks Good HM, any negatives to report from the soak?

No negatives so far...
It's not 100% dry yet, but no loss of suppleness. The huge up-shot is that I could give the collar back it's rightfully majestic shape. It had been crushed over the years. The slight odor that remains will probably go away with some air and a vinegar spritz... a positive experience.

Made this leather/denim vest a while ago. First attempt on making vest. Turned out the natural goat and wool/denim combo is very nice!

I've washed a bunch of jackets before: only positive experiences as well.

This is superb Boyo...I know I may (somehow!) be biased toward the HWM pattern of late but I dare say this the best fit I've seen of a HWM ever posted here. Looks absolutely perfect!

Thanks Tony, that's high praise for sure...the result of a size 44 jacket on a size 48 body

I got that one into circulation. Isn't it an excellent jacket? Fits you really nice.

 

[casechopper]

Thanks, It's an in interesting cut. It fits slightly snug at the top but has plenty of space at the bottom for movement. This is probably due in part to the *** holster expansion straps? I think that's what those are for anyway. I think it will work well for really cold commuting with the quilted lining and thick leather. It's definitely a ******proof hide and one I won't worry about wearing on rainy rides at all.

It's an absolute tank of a jacket for sure and yeah, I think it fits like that 'cause of the belt and all the stuff cops carry on it. It's a very warm jacket, too. If it was one size smaller, I'd have kept it even tho it fit great on layers.

Took this one out today, 1968 Martin Lane G-1 I recently had a knit replacement job on. The mouton fur is really dry. Think some beard oil might plump it up a little? I figure, if it's good for living facial hair what harm can it do to dead hair...
