What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[torfjord]

I’ve just contacted Stu as he obviously sold him a trainee jacket

Congrats! Cool jacket and very good fit! I hope you like your new vintage gem!

Thanks Robbie! I’m really happy with it!

@dudewuttheheck inspired me to try out the matching game again. @Davisleathernyc inspired me to wear what I want to wear.

Aero trucker, unknown lace up trousers & Sears harness boots.

You are a rock star!

I woke up this morning hoping for a beach day, it was a 66 F. and cloudy so I thought, great I will throw on my GW goatskin cossack. A perfect jacket for this frigidly cold weather!

This year’s been hard to get in front of a camera. So many distractions kinda put showing jacket selfies out of mind. But today the intoxicating aroma of the Cal made me wanna share it with more than myself. The squeak of old leather when you breath, the second skin glove fit and that old friend feeling, i have missed.
So a good day to share.
Be well and safe.

Lookin good B. Gotta pop that collar!

I would kill to see 66 degrees. We are expecting one last, gut punch, kick in the balls, moral crushing blast of snow on Tuesday. I know when people live in typically very warm climates that kind of drop can seem cold but 66 degrees and I’m throwing on the chubbies, filling the kiddie pool and day drinking (from the can) PBR in the front yard.

Nah, man; Shorts, tiki shirts and leather jackets in Hawaii? That's being rock-star!

The ocean is 76 F. so the surfers will go out in most any weather. When the air temp dips into the 60s F. here you see a lot of heavy winter coats come out. LOL

Wool and denim kinda day. Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

My cat said we are hypocrites. He said us middle-aged, leather jacket-wearing men don't like to be stereotyped yet perpetuate the myth of cats not taking proper care of their gear.

You are the greatest pet whisperer I've ever seen.

Hohoho
Obenauf "dyed", zippertape finally showing its intended contrast
Happy with the color, i wont sun tan it no more, just normal wear from here on, i dont care if obenauf freezes the color this way i like it like this, and a good base for any patina if theres more.

Dude it looks FANTASTIC. Really reminds me of the success that guy had with Fieblings on the boring brown Langlitz. Congrats!

Wearing my new (to me) Sears Oakbrook D-pocket that I just picked up from the post office. I was worried the hem would be a bit too tight. It’s just right.

Killer fit! And the kidney panel is truly super cool. An excellent crosszip to go with your cafe racer.

Aero Type III today.

No longer trying to make assumptions about the weather. Just accepting that it happens to be cold enough for a jacket and running with it. Crawfish boil for a friend’s birthday today- raining so we were in a rare New Orleans basement much of the time.

Y’2 Leather teacore horsehide vest. I would like your opinion on whether this jacket’s length is too long or is OK.

 

[TREEMAN]

I prefer a shorter vest ...

I dont intentionally take a walk in the rain, but whenever im wearing jacket, i see rain as a bonus these days, i enjoy walking across parking lot in it, every drop adding just a little more character to it.

I'm not sure. So okay, it looks good but on the other hand, it's undoubtedly... Well long. It's got that apron-ish look going on. Since this is the kind of garment that's supposed to be worn either under a coat, though sometimes over, leather vest oughtn't stick out from under the hem of the jacket or hang over it.

Vests such as this one are designed to end just at your belt line 'cause it's got no sleeves to hold it in place so what happens is when you sit down, it gets pushed up and the shoulders end up sticking out and it looks silly.

On the other hand, I do not at all dislike the way it looks at you. I don't know. It's good.

Main issue I've got with it is that I've no clue what is it supposed to be. It can't be a biker vest even though it's styled as one because it's definitely too long for that and if it's something else... Then I have no idea what.

somehow doesn't look so bad, although for my taste it should be shorter and a size smaller.

Too long. Maybe try and fit over a type 3? Kinda cool though

Really cool piece but one size too big IMO. How do you like the Y2 leather itself compared to some of the other high end makers you’ve had?
