What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[ksozay]

Seems lately buying stuff one size too small is my MO. But this only set me back $150. Somebody here shorter than me should buy it. It’s such a nice piece of leather. Shame to send it back to the uneducated eBay masses, who likely won’t appreciate it for what it is.

You rang?

Yep..move it on. Wow man..that smirk is almost a damn smile. The 3.0 should turn it into an ear to ear.

That’s what I’m hoping for HD. We’ll know for sure in a few months! I really want to retire from leather jackets!

so the difference from your MK2 is this MK3 would be a saddle bag that can transform into a bootlegger by voice command.

Denim on denim on the way out,
on the way back it would be leather on denim hahah already color coordinates for the transformation

I am persisting with the cafe racer jacket. It does require a clinical exactitude with jeans/belt height (which is, of course, how they are supposed to be worn). Front is indeed shorter than the back. Tucked in the t-shirt; even medium t-shirts seem long, grrr.

Ok, that is striking. The level of thought and care you put into design is astonishing- and, whoever the tailor is, he deserves every success.

Looks really unique. Great fit. Can you elaborate a little how you came to the design? Were you inspired by specific other jackets (in terms of both, pattern and color)?

thanks Blaupulp,

I guess I'm inspired by many things I see as picture or in movies, dunno which one in particular, the pockets is obviously inspired by jet pilot jumpsuit, the color is something I want to wear with jeans, I just drew some jackets and I tweaked it around, and then colored it, then tweaking the color from green to blue, and see what other color works with it, so I choose tan or russet, and boom, i brought it to printer shop and put order on my jacket...

Awesome! So cool to see that some people still have the passion and creativity to do things different in a world where everything becomes more and more the same and fast fashion is prevalent everywhere.

PS: can I change my „name“ here in the forum?

Cheers

Thank you Alex, I wanted either a blue or green jacket, but then green leather is not available so I changed it to blue, and since I realize I don't have a "proper jeans" to wear it with, so I got a new jeans, hahah. not much of brainstorming happening really, the other elements like hem cut, collarless thing, they are just recycled ideas from my older jackets basically they all share similar shape that personally works for wearing with untucked shirts or tees. the extra button on the waist tabs is for when the jacket worn open so it won't flare as much as I learn from my other jackets they kind of flare a bit when worn open, some little things I learned from previous jacket that I accidentally did good or did wrong.
