Tellason Chore Coat
Temps just cool enough to justify a light jacket on doggo's morning constitutional jaunt so I opted for this Schott. Had to shed it about half way thru. It's deceptively warm despite its light weight. Nice to be getting back in the game tho. Bring on October, 40 degrees and rain.

Just want to give a huge public thanks to Denny at Aero, who in seeing this thread, offered to send me replacement pulls free of charge. Man that's the kind of customer service that makes for life long customers and I'm just putting the finishing touches on my Aero order that will be my pièce de résistance of cross zip orders from Aero, and knowing how well they back their product...I couldn't be happier.After furiously obsessing over the broken zip pull all night I put the j106 on this morning and it zipped right up. I almost wonder if the pull was the problem? Setting the slider at a funky angle? I don't know but I think for now I'll just leave well enough alone.

Great looking jacket and great overall look, Mysteryo. Looks like heavy tweed in that one.Himel Bros Harris Tweed Héron, Rising Sun jacket and jeans, Akubra hat...
Glad to hear the zip still works, and that a more permanent fix is on the way.

I'm liking the color of this jacket more and more. Works well with the brown hat.Tellason Chore Coat
Super school colors at that college. I have a newer Canadian made lettermans type jacket, but it is black on black. That blue with natural leather is superb. Can see why you are liking it.Vintage made in Canada College jacket (from the 1960s?):
My favorite jacket at the moment. Bought this in Vancouver four years ago and still love it to the bones. My go-to jacket right now.

Damn! Yeah I'm not far from that myself I fear. If I don't line it up with scientific precision it just folds and I give up. I need to try the wax. I forgot you'd mentioned that before. I hate to replace a zip that's not broken but a big fat ass YKK or RIRI would make life so much easier.
Well, inspired by your pics I busted out my j106 for a try on. Aaaaaannd I wish I hadn't!

I think these little Talons are made of pig iron. Snapped the sucker right in half. Granted it's a #6 going up against 12 lbs of cow but man. I really wish Aero would consider a heavier zip. I understand the desire for historical accuracy but it would take four original Buco's to equal this jackets weight. It's 3/4" thick at each side of the zipper. For now, sigh, I'll roll with this:
