What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[J Leather Investigater]

I posted more about this in crosszip nation. Its "male hide leathers" and I would like to know more about it.

Your jacket looks pretty awesome right out of the box! Reading about it in the Johnson's thread was the reason I took the dive with JL myself too.
Every single one of my leather jackets has a few spots that could use thicker leather. I find that makers tend to use the thinner and grainier hides on the side gussets, under arms and inside lapel. I guess this is just how the game is played.

Thanks man! I know I aired concerns here but my overall response is “woah that’s cool!”

I did email Damon about the fit and the funny front panel just because I wouldn’t want to say something negative without also bringing it to him. Honestly the bigger-than-expected fit is more of a concern to me. I’m curious about his take on fixing it now vs giving it some wear first.

As long as you don't hear an answer like "wear it about 1 year, the sleeve will shorten by 2 inches", we all happy.

It's 3 degrees Celsius at my place this morning. Yesterday was the coldest day in Sydney in 25 years. On my way to work wearing my warmest jacket, a vintage 1950s Woolmaster Co heavy gabardine jacket with quilted lining. Got a black wool Pendleton underneath, my trusty scarf and Hat People newsboy cap. Friday is 'mufti day', when staff pay a dollar each week to wear casual clothing rather than business attire.

I think that is the cause of chilly mornings here, even now I can feel the heat radiation of the sun, but the wind is cold, making very weird hot and cold feeling

 

[Benny Holiday]

Yeah it's snowing heavily even in the Blue Mountains, let alone down in the Snowys. Sure can feel it.

Awesome. What is it? I’ve sort of been looking for a straight zip vest.

This is a 5* vest based on my "design".

Pretty much that is the typical weather in the LA area. Before moving here I always wondered why sometimes you see people in shorts and a tshirt and others in long pants and a jacket. It really depends on if you'll be in the sun and which microclimate you'll be in dictates your dress.

Coming from the midwest (basically middle America for the non-Americans) it isn't like that at all. If it is warm it is so hot and humid that being in the shade isn't terribly different than being in direct sunlight. So a humid 75 still means everyone is in shorts and a tshirt since the humidity makes the air damp and hot.

Went here to post and then Torfjord comes along with his Thedi… Anyhow! courtesy of @Monitor, very first shot with that Levi x Aero:

I certainly also could live with a Large, but back length certainly profits from the „X“

Not 'cause I sold you the jacket or anything but it fits you just about as good as perfect gets.
