What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Make sure you trace that collar before you sell it.

I know. That and the cuffs are really sweet.

$350 shipped. Y’all know where to find me.

Must... have strength...

Why start now?

I’ll be honest @ton312 that is a great catch for the price you paid.

A custom premier Highwayman will cost a bomb compared to that and I just don’t think the narrow shoulders of the premier fit will work well for you.

I got this one around 6-8 years ago. It was in immaculate condition but now the lining is going. Will I have it replaced?

the jacket would drape better without, you can just dedicate a long sleeve linen shirt ( probably black or off white) as perma layer with the jacket. I have removable liner with one of my jacket, and whenever i wash the liner i grab a dark blue or black linen shirt as temporary liner for it that stays in the jacket

On the fence with this Lost Worlds suburban. First I should say thanks to @John D Maccarter for a great deal and lightning fast shipping. It’s certainly an incredible piece of leather. As for the fit I think it’s pretty good. Maybe a touch too relaxed for my taste (back shot is unzipped) and the sleeve length is borderline too short per my preference. I know it’s a boxy pattern....Thoughts? I’m thinking it’s probably time to recoup my small investment here and apply toward a premier HWM. Debating. Help me decide.

Too broken in for your taste i get it
I think it fits good also on the sleeve, maybe you are getting a perspective that jacket sleeve should be tighter from your other jackets leather and denim alike, but this one looks very normal and wearable.

But what about the tried and true upsize on top/drop waist?

True, that could work, I just don’t think the premier fit is great for a muscular build.

On another note, wearing Black ELMC Californian today....and a familiar box has been delivered!

Definitely have that “excited yet reluctant to open it” feeling ..... really hope the colour is what I’m after....fingers crossed!

Help you decide..?? I have absolutely no idea from day to day of what you are actually looking for anymore. Do you?

My second Cal Leather pullover. Little restoration work and excited to wear.

It’s beyond ridiculous that I still need a jacket in mid-May, I’m ready for sun and a t-shirt at this point. That said, it’s never a chore to sport this Iron Heart type III. I think I’ve legitimately worn it (at least in some capacity) every single day since receiving it. It’s an eternal for me.

Are you wearing a denim jacket with denim jeans?

No. But I do know, within seconds, if I’ll wear a jacket or not.

 

[HoosierDaddy]

For maybe a week or two..??

 

[El Marro]

Yeah I’ve got a real doozie bouncing around in my head. Absolutely my exit piece.

Exit that leads to the roundabout that leads back to the on-ramp and full speed ahead!

At least a month

With the zipper pull on the other side, I have to wonder if it’s a woman’s jacket? Unless the photo is reversed.

@ton312 for reference i got two premier hwy jackets. One in cxl horse and one cxl steer. Both size 42. Pit to pit was good like 22-22.5, but shoulders were like 18. With the trim arms i almost had to dislocate my shoulder to put it on. Sold em both long ago.

Sorry but I think it’s the most natural wear you’ve had in a while. It’s already broken into throw n go shape.

“Does it spark joy?”

I think you know what must be done...

That’d be quite a tall woman to wear such jacket, wouldn’t it? I think Seb is a tall guy.

 

[ProteinNerd]

Don’t the USA and UK/Australia place the zippers on opposite sides to each other?
