What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Thanks Tom. Jacket is a size 40 (I am a 39" chest) and I could wear a thin insulator vest, sweater or a thick denim or flannel shirt and be fine. Movement is good with no restrictions. A 38 would have been too tight on me.

Maybe @jpk_NJ will answer your question. But I agree, this is a great customized Teamster, and I really like it!

What size is that?
This was during my phase of "armchair jacket designer / pattern maker". Some worked out well, others not so much, and I may or might not have drove the nice folks at Aero crazy
Size 40.

New to me Hein Gericke jacket that @Monitor had posted in the Finds and Deals thread. The jacket has little to no wear, the leather is soft and thick, but it had an extremely strong smell mix of damp and some kind of fragrance. I emailed the seller to ask what the smell was so I could work on getting rid of it and he told me that he "he doesn't have a sense of smell but his wife had mentioned it was a bit musty smelling so he'd aired it out for a few days". I think his wife might have had it packed with dryer sheets for a while too. I've treated it with an ozone generator for around 80 minutes and aired it out for a few days and the smell is bearable if not completely gone. I'll continue airing it out as much as possible to hopefully erase that smell permanently during the Summer. Overall the jacket is great quality and fits and looks amazing so I'll go through the work necessary to wear it.

Perfect fit, looks amazing. Airing it out is well worth the effort.

Deal of the year indeed. Looks great, especially when zipped (thats my take on crosszips in general).

How do you strum with sleeves of 4oz leather? You've got to be a real he-man!
