What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[tmitchell59]

I had not done a video for my youtube channel so I just grabbed a jacket off the rack. Turns out a late 40s JC Penney Sportclad jacket.

I've got another like new jacket from this era with the original color dark brown finish. I'll have to compare them.

My 1960s unlined Langlitz Cascade. I was all set to sell it after convincing myself it was too big and no lining was too weird, but after wearing it this last week, I realized I love it. Its a keeper.

Yesterday I sweat my ass off power washing my porch. Today it’s about 30 degrees colder and I have the heat back on. Aero 50’s Halfbelt, repaired sleeve, dreadnought cordovan steer. Paired with some horrible diesel jeans b/c my heavies are hang dry’n.

Beautiful colour and superb shape

I wussed out of riding today as the forecast looked ropey, so I'm in my Type II.

Of course then the weather is actually glorious and the traffic was rubbish and I'm fed up I wasn't on the bike.

I haven’t been a huge fan of cross-zip jackets, until now...

It needs some repairs and resto-work, but I think it might be worth fixing this one up.

John,
Nice jacket and nice truck!

Thanks, I love the jacket, but I really love my truck, I'm getting 450 hp to the rear wheels!

Nice! Is it Steerhide?

Here is mine in Steer. They do have a Flair.

By “flair” I think you must mean...the best collar EVER, and a fantastic fit!
I love the almost 3” drop in front. It also has D-pocket stitching like on the Block-bilt jackets. Yes, I believe they only did steerhide. I’m pretty sure that’s what mine is.

That is absolutely spectacular! Where did you find it!?!

 

[handymike]

It came from @technovox who bought it from some guy in the boonies. A real “barn find,” it even had straw in the pockets.

Yes, I believe they only did steerhide

They did horsehide too.

The Steerhide shows up more often.

They do have a very nice tailored fit.
