What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Monitor]

I actually got a chance to wear this last night sitting on the porch swing, sipping on a cocktail with my wife. I’ve owned God knows how many of these Levi Sherpa lined truckers over the years but I think they’ve done a great job over the past few years of refining these suckers while keeping the price extremely modest. I’ve got something else that I think could be quite special incoming but I have to say I’m really content with my current outerwear selections. It’s relatively small but nicely varied group.

Agreed. This year at least, there really is no reason to look any further than the Levi's sherpa trucker for that kinda style. The material is good, the fit is absolutely perfect. I've tried a truck load of different sherpa jean jackets in Canada, Levi's was the best.

I only wish the collar was larger. My wife had one with the larger 80s collar.

Agreed. I just ordered the washed out black one. LOL. There’s this guy. Blanket lined on eBay.

That’s just perfect. I think they got all the proportions right with that version, I like especially the size and shape of the chest pocket flaps.

Seconded. Gotta be one of the best looking Type 3's I've seen.

Another ride with my vintage Vanson Force 40. With Forcefield elbow/shoulder armor in. The Vanson pads are just too bulky compared to the newer materials. Pardon the dirty mirror!

Awesome first photo - looks like you've been superimposed onto a Caspar David Friedrich painting.

That is McCaigs folly if I am not mistaken ?

MacCaig's Tower, the Victoian folly overlooking the town. We then went to the excellent Oban Distillery for a whisky tour and a couple of fine drams of the 14 year old. Slàinte mhath

I see what you mean...

Leither, you should be running a National Tourist Office for Scotland (if there is such a thing). Your pics make me want to jump on a plane and visit. These oysters look awesome. And the best mussels I ever had were in Edinburgh. The cold water must make them fat and plump...in curry broth...damn...

The fabulous seafood, the small but inspiring Munro mountains, the beaches, the Scots pine forests, the whisky, the ale, the comedy, the inclusiveness, the festivals, the wildlife, the Mexican and other fine international cuisines, the Literature, the wee Aero temple of fine leatherwear doon the road in Gala, the increasingly independent spirit and political awareness, the wariness of charletons, mountebanks and purveyors of snake oil, the welcoming of immigrants and refugees and those in need.
Sunshine on Leith and the sheer fun and banter of la Belle Ecosse. I love it all...
Glad you enjoyed my adopted city and country...

And you did not even mention golf...to me the best proof that Scotland is truly an egalitarian society is that you can play their best private courses if you write them a nice letter and have a decent handicap. Try that in the US...

The rules of golf were first recorded at Leith Links half a mile from my front door. It's a pretty egalitarian game here except for a few archaic enclaves...
