What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Corozo buttons.

Anyway, my wife actually said it's no reason not to wear it in the mean time.
So here is a quick and dirty snap. I need to tame the collar but apart from that it's a cracking jacket. The cordovan Vicenza is such an nice colour. It's a shame about the button but that's really a first world problem

Bad luck with the button and hope it gets sorted quickly puts a damper on a otherwise great looking jacket , my Areomarine I'm sure also has Corozo buttons I hadn't really give the buttons on my jacket much thought until now but it just struck me I had no idea what Corozo even was until I read your post

I just got this off the 'Bay: an old LL Bean sheepskin bomber jacket in a large size 46 long, mint condition for about $100. A tag inside the pocket has a manufacturing date of Oct. 15, 1990. The new Bean bomber jackets have acrylic pile lining and fake fur collars; this one has genuine mouton fur collar, wool fleece fur lining and wool cuffs & waistband with thick, nicely pebbled goatskin leather. This one is absolutely pristine, thick, heavy and should be warm as heck come winter time!

I love this look!
And those Indy's the icing on the cake.

Thanks. The boots are actually J. Crew boots that are probably a design knock off of the Alden Indy's. They're a much lighter boot and not the same quality but are comfortable and much cheaper.

Ok. Looking good anyway. I think union made goods had a similar Alden some years ago. I thought it was that one.

They are warm as Hell! I had my knits replaced with GW's rust knits.
