What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Better daylight pics now. Good hint from @navetsea regarding two-way main zip which I didn't notice when I unpacked it this morning...nice feature.

Two way zip! Awesome!

Speaking of two way... earlier on this thread someone posted their All Saints leather. I thought I'd post my All Saints find. I saw this while traveling a few years ago, in their Seattle store. Whenever I like a jacket, but not ready to pull the trigger, I always take a pic of the tag for reference. After I returned home, I start thinking how nice this jacket was, I did a search online and found it on Nordstrom website for 1/2 price...Score! Very unusual for these more fashion leaning jackets to have such heavy duty zips and also the two way zipper function... glad they did it. It's not for riding, but it's been a good knock around/travel leather. BTW, I cut the epauletes off, because they were driving me nuts and I'm not such a fan, just didn't like the way they looked on this particular jacket.

What a beauty, one of the nicest leathers ever to grace these pages.

A rare leather jacket day today with my GW Arcadia Shinki. 71 F., 17 mph winds, and rainy. Not a beach day.

Same same, hoping to get a shade more into darker tan.

I've seen some lost in translation instances where Japanese retailers say something is suede when it is actually roughout. For example when I was ordering things off global Rakuten they had red wings which I knew were roughout boots but translated to suede. Not sure if you speak the language better than myself and Google translate but it was a pretty common occurence for me.

Yeah that's a good point. I actually have a friend that I could ask about this. He may know. I'll reach out to him and post what he says. It seems more like roughout to me, but I'm not really an expert on suede and roughout having not owned a ton of each.

Nice. I like the HH a lot. My first Aero was my Bootlegger, and it has possibly been my most-work leather over the years. At some point, I'd quite like one in another leather, possibly goat... the HH would be a good choice for a bit of variation. Tempted by the idea of a button front and no chest pocket-zip....

Don't they have that pattern already? The moonshiner?

I do like the hair on hide look, but I've always worried it would shed over time. How are you finding it?

Oh, yes - I had remembered it as the HH being with a button front originally, but you're right, the HH is a zip-up version of the Moonshiner. Good catch!

Hot damn that is one kick ass jacket. What leather is that, brown Shinki? The fit is absolutely perfect. Looks good on ya my man!

Not exactly . They have different back designs.

Aero Board Racer View attachment 315554

I had a cafe racer years ago - a US brand called something like Route66 if memory serves. I bought it originally as my 'second' leather jacket, for wearing to the office and places where the Perfecto style wasn't appropriate. In the end, I sold it on because I didn't like how the mandarin collar looked with a collared shirt. For years I didn't feel the need of one, now every time I see a Board racer, it tempts me....
