What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Atticus Finch]

In the low ‘fifties, today, but the strong, wet north wind makes it feel much colder. Vintage buffalo-plaid lined Trucker and a ‘70s OR. And a 1930s square-necked resonator that I’m struggling to master.

Olive rhombus-quilted, light water-repellent polyester-fiedljacket, today.

The Freenote jacket is a stunning looking jacket, but being that its made in Southern California it's not that warm.

That's a GREAT photo, AF. Glad to see a fellow guitar player in the lounge, too. I think I'll pull out my Martin OM-18V later today.

We had a record low this morning and temps will not rise above freezing. This weather calls for the heavy stuff.

Circa late 1940s-early 1950s Woolrich hunt coat. Immaculate condition.

Thanks! And I do love Martin OM guitars. I have a few acoustics that were more expensive than my OM-15, but none that are more played. Hands down, this is my favorite guitar.

How is the status of woolrich as a brand in the us nowadays? I’m asking as apparently in Europe the woolrich brand has been bought by some Italian company if I’m not mistaken. The artic parka they make is real quality stuff although I’m not sure how that relates to the origin of the brand.

Just my two cents, but my opinion of present-day Woolrich is not very high. Unfortunately, production of almost all their products (except some blankets) is now overseas. Of those, I've only handled flannel shirts and jackets, and the quality just isn't there. Their garments feel cheap to me. I have no experience with their parkas.

I think the same could be said for Eddie Bauer flannels, but I'm also not familiar with their parkas.

Vintage made-in-the-USA Woolrich clothing is as good as they come, IMO.

Reminds me of the wonderful film "Hud"

Very nice! I have an old arch top mahogany Harmony (with a one-piece back) that's set up for playing slide.

I also have an Adams parlor guitar with spruce top and mahogany back/sides. Circa 1900.

Maybe we should start a new thread called WGAYPT (what guitar are you playing today).

Here's my OM-18V:

When did you get a brown one???

It was a fluent passage.

Love your guitars. The OM is just the perfect body size in aesthetics. Very sexy!
And that’s a great idea for a thread!
I’d post pics of my Gibson 12-Fret Advanced Jumbo every day. Only guitar I’m playing. Haha.

Well, now. We both love Martin OMs...we both like slide guitar and we both have early 1900s, oak rocking chairs. You suppose we’re somehow kin folk?

Don't forget leather jackets and cool outerwear.

Yes, you must be my long lost brother.

Man... That's really cool! Inspiring. I should dress better.

Cool! I’ve had a J-50 for years. Finally bought a J-45 Standard about a month ago.
