What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[sweetfights]

No, I can assure you. I’m done selling discount Aeros.

It is a costly hobby. I have sold Lost Worlds, Aero and Langlitz from new--Expensive!!!!!!

I don’t think so. I use the same method as TB. Actually Johnson Leathers taught me that. I know he moved so I suspect it was in an unlabeled box and carelessly opened. Shit happens. Life goes on. He’s made amends with me as far as I’m concerned. I may still pursue a legit repair but I couldn’t wait. I used some flexible epoxy and shoe polish to fairly decent results. It will likely come undone at some point and need to be redone but for now, I can have my Saturday cocktails without feeling glum.

This looks great. If it were me I'd just wear the jacket to death and when the lining needs replacing or the it needs a new zip, explore the panel replacement then. The scratch is really just an aesthetic issue, not worth sending across the sea for repair.

1960s Bates racing shirt.

My wife says the sleeves are too long. What say you?

 

[Downunder G Man]

Not reaching for handlebars they ain't !

Looks great !

Your wife is wrong

 

[navetsea]

Thankfully it’s the underarm panel so it doesn’t have to be perfect. Matching the weight/grain as closely as possible will be the key. That may well be impossible as Horween batches are always unique.

*Pro-tip and I assume this community knows as much. Use a pen or pencil to open packing tape.

Use carkey to open package, pocket knife is to sharpen pencil, and peel apple only.

Your wife is wrong

I’ll let you tell her that.

She is wrong but you are of course obligated to agree. Yes you agree. I understand. You agree.

 

[handymike]

I agree you must agree...but wear it proudly anyway!

Your wife is wrong

I assure you that has never been the case in the history of marriage.
You must be single.

 

[seres]

In a way, it's like a new car... you can't start to truly enjoy it until that first scratch.

Great fix, i did the same on my jacket after my cat climbed over my arm at the vet office.

My wife and I have told each other we're wrong regularly over 15 years and sometimes she and I disagree amicably or revise our views. I'd hate to be in the kind of relationship where this doesn't happen.

 

[zebedee]

Ex-wife (to me): 'Why do you never agree with me?'
Me: 'Because then we'd both be wrong.'

Was just dropping an easy marriage joke. Around here the livins easy.
