What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[dubpynchon]

@dunpynchon that looks great. Most of the thunderbays i’ve seen are cut shorter. That looks like it would be more useful in the elements. If i remember correctly you have a D1 or B6? If so could you compare them for warmth?

oh, and what leather is it?

I had them add an inch to the body length, and also make the strip at the hem the minimum size, which is three inches, to maximize the amount of sheepskin. I’ve had a D1 and it’s about as warm as that, maybe a bit less as the sleeves are moleskin. For real cold it’ll still be my B3 or ANJ4 but for anything above 45f or so the Thunderbay will be fine.
It’s black goatskin leather, which I’m glad I went with, mainly because a CXL Thunderbay would be very heavy. Goatskin drapes well too, CXL might look better, especially after a few years, but for function I don’t think you can beat goat.

Giving the Dehen it’s first field test.
3 hours on the windy sidelines of soccer. Temp 59. Overcast. BTW @ton312 i don’t think this would work for you. Forearms are pretty narrow.

What not to like in this jacket? It's perfect and it just shouts outloud in a full voice to its owner "Ton, please don't sell!"))

I clearly hear it screaming "Ton, please sell!" in a falsetto that sounds a lot like my voice.

Wow, what a fantastic style!

Thank you. It’s a great jacket in real nice condition. Emerald green quilted lining, elastic storm cuffs that are still holding taut. The leather has a nice scent, too. It wasn’t cheap but was worth every cent.

No more selling. Need a bootlegger to top things off. Nothing more and certainly nothing less.
