What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[J Leather Investigater]

I’m wearing my shearling lined, true 40’s-50’s era HH Goodgal aircomfort, peacocking around my living room. Getting all kinds of side eye and “what the Hell are you doing?” commentary from the ladies in my life. I don’t care. This jacket is legend for me. I spent a very, very long time looking for one like this that fit. Many failures and near misses along the way. Winter can’t come back soon enough. Well maybe not but when it does...

Thanks man, probably a shade lighter when not in contrast by strong morning sun, but it gets darker with wear too.

Leather trucker today. This will do the trick for a while, I wasn’t sure about this style in a leather jacket but for 50 gbp I found out that I really really like it. I am thinking about upgrading for an Aero in their natural Italian horsehide (brass snap buttons, white contrast stitching, olive cotton drill lining) sometime in the future, maybe in a year or two. In the meantime, this is a nice beater.

Thanks Robbie! I agree the cost/quality ratio is very favourable.

Is that a cell phone pocket repair? I feel like everyone has a rectangle marking on their jeans from their cellphones, kinda like a can of chew.

Close enough! That’s where I keep my wallet. Cell phone usually goes in jacket pockets.

I have the wallet wear on mine too . Nice repair! I’m really getting into the decorative jean repairs. Been watching you tube videos during lockdown, and following menders on IG.

I used to do repairs with my sewing machine (super cheap from IKEA) but it broke down, so then I started experimenting with hand stitching repairs. It’s really fun, but takes a lot of time. The repairs look interesting and unique, and you can pretty much do anything you want.

I love it!!!
