What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

You look like a model in that vest shot. You look like the professor/hero in a movie.
Brown Schott 141 with my new harness boots.
This is the jacket with the zip-out lining. My dad used to tell me if you wear a jacket like that without the lining it'll fit too loose on you. I've worn it without the lining once, but this is heavy stiff leather, bulletproof. I still think I need to go one way or the other.
It's super warm. Warmer than I expected. I think this is definitely a winter jacket, not spring/fall.
That bifold back bothers me a little bit - Shouldn't it be folding back to the way it should be? I know they have an elastic band in there but it doesn't seem to be doing its job.
It's my first pair of harness boots ever. They're a budget brand, but for me I think this a perfect first pair, and they feel like a million bucks.

@JMax is just protecting us. If he ever slipped up and accidentally revealed himself in a selfie he’d have to eliminate us all.

Looks great! I have a 141 and with the lining it's the warmest. I was in between sizes and bought small, it works as long as there's more than a t-shirt. Missing out on a tee and jacket fit actually, might have to fix that.
I have the same thing going with the swing. Elastic or not, one of them always behaves better than the other.
Hey thanks for the feedback on that bi-swing back. I'm glad it's not just me... uh, I guess (?)
This sold as a chest size, not S/M/L. I bought it to be sure I could squeeze a hoodie under there, but it would need to be pretty darn cold to layer that much!
Trying to figure out how I'll wear a scarf with this. How do we do that? The neck fits so perfectly as it is, can't figure out how to make a scarf work. Try to get it in there in one layer... Tell you what though, it'll look great if I can get it sorted.

This wartime Sears Topline is already on its way to its new owner. It's an extremely cool jacket, but it's much too small on me.
Still glad I got to own it for a few days though.

Hardly. I haven’t worked investigations in 13+ years. Now I do security, strat-type stuff, which sounds cool but really is just lots of paperwork and talking to lots and lots of people. Some cool, some asses, some patriots, some douches. Haha. If I could retire now and ride my bike into the proverbial sunset I would. Good training though. Great song.

Oh right, by small I meant went with a 42, but could have sized up if I wanted to layer more. With any scarf I do have to leave the zip down a bit and it doesn't work if they're bulky. Normal CR stuff!

This looks awesome. A great pair of jeans, a cool belt and an awesome jacket. Perfect recipe.
Thanks Sunset. I have two different colors of a pretty nice Merino scarf, not real thick or anything. That ought to solve any winter wind issues right there. [We should have access to a "thumbs up" emoji option.]

US Made Co is so comfortable and the leather is thick yet soft and easy to wear. My opinion this maker is undervalued.

That’s a super nice jacket. Although it looks like a standard J24
The B-6 is the perfect shearling, IMO (this being a particularly nice example!).
My B-3 is a tank and ideal for elongated exposure to cold conditions, but I don´t really use it to go into town. Too chunky, too disctinctly military.
