What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

It's little bit tapered in the waist, otherwise it's same cut(According to Aero). My highwayman in the left is 38 while half belt is 40 which has little bit roomy to allow me wear heavy shirt in the winter.
I like both jacket very very much. But half belt is less tricky to get good fit compare to highwayman.

Looks as if one side of the Hywmn jacket is cut shorter than the other side. Surely not..but hard to figure out just what is going on.....

can simply be something heavy inside the lining pocket on one side, that's why I always wear my jacket zipped at least halfway:) at least until the jacket broken in, and the hem is all wrinkly and rolled on the edges, then I can wear it open.

My vintage Brooks cafe racer is back after being relined...it even has an inside pocket now ..yay!

You don’t want to know how much it cost to get it relined here in Oz but these are such awesome lightweight jackets it was worth it to have one with a fresh new liner that will last years.

Nice. What type of lining did you put in it?

The large number of large pockets makes this very handy for bike outings when I don't want to take luggage with me.
And in the late afternoon it was my thrift store find of the day. Custom tailored suede leather blazer

Lately every time I see one of your pics I keep thinking “is today the day he steps on that mirror? The mirror! Someone get that mirror out of the way!” :)

I'm not sure what in the picture looks like a mirror. I don't think there's actually a mirror anywhere in my backyard.

Hey ksozay:
Great for you man!! Little ones, thats what life’s all about. Nothing even comes close. Does your’s like to nuzzle up to leather? This little one does. Maybe it’s because it came from you. Kids know. Thanks again for the jacket, it does fit right and feels good. We do business again for sure man.
Hold onto the little one every chance you get. Before you know it, you’ll be holdin a grandbaby. Hope they still have leather then..for their sake.
Be well. Bowen

Thanks B! She is a great adventure and I learn more about life by being parent. She loves the leather jackets. She’s always climbing around on them when I get the jackets out. :)

I want to get a leather jacket made for her but she’ll be too large for it before it is finished, I’d bet :)

Ha! Ha! That explains it. There is a small hand mirror on the ground in the pictures. :)

And a flat-head black oxidized 6mm wood screw behind the plastic slide. Be careful with your steps. :)
