What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Monarch, nicest jacket I own.

That's really sharp Tony. How much does something like that weigh?

Looks thick and comfortably broken in, but not "over the top."

Weighs about 5lbs or so. It’s the nicest HH I’ve ever handled, new or vintage. Thick but very soft. Feels like a dream. I wish I could find more Monarch jackets. They seem to be very hard to come by.

Exactly

congrats on your new jacket. those cuffs are a little tough on the back of the hands when new

 

[navetsea]

Oww yes
Best day in 2021 for me.
Matching buckle too.

The back of the collar is unbroken. I can pop it up without vertical seam. Almost a one piece back.

Collar needs taming when fully zipped.

I think the body length is perfect , and despite the heavy belt its not flaring out. I tried diagonal side seam hoping the torso stay more round and not flattening. I think it works well also to keep the jacket not flaring out when worn un zipped with thick belt hanging on it.

That's really nice, great design and cool choice of leather.
I like the contrast zipper piping and the collar shape.

Put a permanent mouton collar on my floppy Schott. Love it.

thank you, I'm very happy with this cow, may never get any horse here locally, but vegtan cow will do ... I wish I know this leather sooner, and just buy several bottle of dyes and custom color all my previous jackets rather than settle with whatever in stock from the jacket maker.

thanks really happy with the collar too, looking at their stock jackets in the shop front nothing there to be used as reference, there was LL lightning copy someone ordered, but that too look undersized for me, however they pulled off this one first try from the drawing.

@navetsea , it turned out great. I still don't get the small top-most pocket but it looks better in execution than on the drawing. Please don't wash it.

Layering works so well!

A couple of quick shots in a Schott (a horrible pun, I know) this morning. Forgive the squinting, but the sun was in my eyes. One of the most comfortable CRs to wear. Only cross-zips are more comfortable than this Schott.

thanks, yeah I insisted on the small pocket, will take years to look efortless like yours, great outfit combo there.

Pony day...

 

[tmitchell59]

Diamond Dave Steerhide A2 from a few years back. Not sure why I sold this one.

 

[TLW '90]

I've had this Flannel lined Wranglers a couple years, it's an inexpensive jacket and it's not the greatest fitting piece so I tend to just wear it doing stuff around the house / yard.


I'm currently looking to get something else that fits me better, probably a vintage Big Smith because I really like their stuff.
Definitely not a Levi's, I just can't buy their stuff anymore for personal reasons.
