What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Pike Bros N1 b/c it’s snowing and cold. Still. This jacket has made me question why I fuss over leather.

Stay away from 1949-60s Navy Peacoats.
You may never return!

That's a fabulous beast!

Whenever I think that, I put on a cross zip. And I no longer think that.

How heavy are FCL HH jackets? Are they more akin to Aero FQHH or Vicenza HH weight? They always look so damn nice. Great example there.

Don't know, never held one but @ksozay says they're really heavy, 3 - 3.5 oz. He has compared them to the Vanson, actually, except that the hide they're made of is softer and of a higher quality. They look heavier than Shinki or Vicenza, in any case.

This is made by Phigvel Makers co. It was purchased off Yahoo japan. I bet RRL made a few similar jackets over the years.

Brown FQHH Highwayman:



One of the few to survive the Great Zebedee Sale- I'm trying to get shot of all my jackets apart from this one, an incoming Teamster and a goat HB. Other jackets are on the Classifieds (and need to go before I expatriate again...).

Vanson Enfield. Old heavy comp weight.

Thanks. Exactly what I was wondering. They look stunning in pictures.

Aero A-2 this week. Probably my all-time favorite jacket. I haven't ever owned or touched a Goodwear (yet), but this jacket feels about as nice as one can find.

Zero degrees this morning, sporting the Schott 135 to Sunday brunch

Buzz L-2A. The L-2 series jackets by Buzz, being a little longer in length, are great for the 6'2" club. Love it. Going to try very hard to not baby the thing and make it a daily wearer.

Today I wore my first top tier HH leather jacket that I bought in 2001. An Aero Highwayman purchased off of their sale page....

 

[Dphillip]

Beautiful Jacket!
Great fit off the rack!

 

[HoosierDaddy]

It was a return. The jacket is stock brown CXL FQHH size 40 but the sleeves are custom at about 26".

When I have Carrie order my Highwayman I’m going to show her your pictures and tell her “this is the fit I want.”

I’m a size 40 chest, can I ask how tall you are?

 

[HoosierDaddy]

6'1" 185 Lbs. I usually wear 26-26 1/4 " sleeve with 26-26 1/2 body length with a custom made leather jacket. The sleeve on my Highwayman is 26" and body length is 25". Body length of 25" on me is borderline for my tastes but wearable.

Keep in mind that this Highwayman was made 18 years ago and they were true to size. Some say the ones made now are oversized ( although Aero seems to deny it ) and dropping down in size is the way to go for some.

The body length looks spot on to me, you’re taller than me (5’10) so that jacket wouldn’t have that tailored look on me as it does on you.

Great info, thanks!
