Great picture!
Alright last week it was -5°C and a windchill of -12°C
Not normal for the south of France...
The B3 was a welcome addition.
This week, we had some nice weather, enough to wear my Kensington.

This looks great!
I was wondering, doesn’t the Himel Shinki evolve creases on the sleeves? It’s just that when I look at SF‘s our your jacket, they look like new all the time.

Shrinki HH develops fantastic creases. I just don’t wear any of my jackets enough. Here is a Himel Kensington made from Shinki:

Don't worry I'm not walking around like a stick or a zombie [emoji1]
This is pigmented HH, I think most Himel owner choose wax HH and this is the big difference about creases when you look at other Himel jackets.

@Monitor DD's Shinki crease more easily than this one, this isn't the same finish.

The jacket has plenty of character even without crazy creases.

Watches were my addiction before leather jackets. And now that my interest for jackets is fading, I find myself looking for watches again. I'm mostly into vintage stuff, in particular old Omegas (you know, from when they still made nice dress watches, not those oversized chavvy status symbols), but I also own a number of more recent Seikos, great fan of their Cocktail Dress Watches and I also own a few of their diver models. With my 7.5" wrists I am mostly into <41mm stuff though.

I belive that very jacket was floating around eBay for a bit. I love the Brimaco pattern. Couldn't live with that sleeve length personally.

Have a great Saturday

Greeting Michael et al:
I’ve amazed and awed at your countless ensembles from dapper to dramatic to downright kickass but i believe this one encompasses all and then some. Blended perfection in every venue. That long leather is the most beautiful i’ve ever seen and the color, spectacular. That look should be named “The Michael”!!
I hope you awed the public and went somewhere.
Be well. Bowen

Thanks Bowen. I do, for some unaccountable reason, like this coat quite a lot and I'm happy that we are moving into it's season of wear here. I did manage to get out today and while downtown I ran across what was apparently the male part of a wedding party, all in matching 3 piece suits. I think at least one of them was "suit"ably impressed. Ha ha.

Seems like you have been pulling out a lot of good looking jackets lately. Looking good.

Thanks,
Michael

The War Horse Hide also develops some nice creases:

The jacket is so easy to wear, I love it.

That's one of my all-time favorite jackets. I couldn't help noticing in all the photos how much the colors blended in with the environment. If you stood on your head you'd disappear entirely.
