What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[MoFo]

Wow! That looks better than I imagined it. I also contemplated having an A-2 made in that leather. Great choice, man!

Thanks, the leather is really cool! Thick and with a lot of character!

That Fine Creek is definitely a winner!

Iron Heart Ezo deerskin shirt, tho more of a jacket to be honest.

Wow! Very nice brother! What a cool shirt!

That jacket... it doesn't get any better than that, Field Leathers out of Scotland nailed it!

14C start today for our Harley ride south on the coast. Forecast was 31C for the return journey on the inland freeway.
SO it was the vented Vanson Sturgis choice for the day as I needed to "beat the heat" coming north in the arvo.
Even with the vents open it was warm en route home.

Gosh! Australia looks beautiful!

Thankyou sir. I travelled extremely widely as a (much!) younger man and have to concur.
Basically a motorcyclist's paradise (while constantly watching with paranoia for errant car drivers !)
That's the 100% main reason I settled in Perth Western Australia , one third the size of the continental US with a population IN TOTAL of only 2.2 million. For 20+ years I used a Harley as my main transport. Not so much now as I am older !

In keeping with my tradition of uploading absolutely appalling quality jacket selfies, here's a shot of me ready to hit the streets for my allowed regulation daily exercise in my beloved Buco J24L

Best leather jacket I have ever owned. Gold label Brooks

There is a real freedom in finding a well fitting and cool vintage jacket. Your Brooks is killer!
Does it have the action back?

That's so true! Sure, if I put the stitch work under magnifying lens it would come up short compared to the best makers today. But the leather is lovely and the pattern is amazing in terms of comfort and range of motion.
There is an action back, but it is a bit tired after 60 years.

I feel the same way with my Kehoe. It is nowhere near the top-tier of today, but damn do I feel great wearing it, and I love the broken in steerhide leather too.

Seeing your Kehoe was one of the things that prompted me to keep on looking for a nice vintage cafe racer actually.
