I am on a plane to New York. While on one of those moving walkways I passed a United pilot on the side standing there on his phone. He was wearing a black flyer jacket. Almost walked back and asked WLAYWT? Wonder what it was.

Ahh... there you are!

A-1... Stop being a whore, stay faithful to your first love, quit letting other jackets wrap themselves around your body.

Have a little plaque made up with these words from our Atticus Finch on it, and mount it on the inside of your closet door:

"The main danger in having too many leather jackets is that one is tempted to wear them all. I believe that the only way to end up with a great leather jacket... is to buy it new and wear the heck out of it. And to properly “wear the heck” out of your jacket, you’ve got to develop a relationship with it that isn’t unlike the one you have with your wife. You’ve gotta be committed to it. Totally. Which means you can’t be sneaking around wearing the heck out of other jackets...even if they’re yours. Though the temptation might be great."
Multiple jackets don't ADD TO your happiness, they DIVIDE it.

We are all watching you... make us proud!



DISCLAIMER: The above is lighthearted jesting... but true.

My Freshly Monarch labeled Black Beauty. After discovering the Californian label was faked. Dave Sheeley kindly installed his new Monarch label. The jacket was and is a Monarch. Made it look and feel like a new jacket.

Terry, when faced with that plethora of jackets...how on God's green earth do you choose?

Couple of vintage horsehide jackets to share. The first is a Hercules from the 50s, it had this in the chest pocket. View attachment 91886
The second is sheep skin lined and I'm not certain of the maker. Any thoughts out there? The zipper has been replaced and the lining is partially new also.
I'd hazard a guess the shearling lined jacket is a Herc or Wards. Both very cool jackets. That shearling jacket is off the charts cool.
