What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[JMax]

Nice snag J!!! Jacket looks awesome and fits great. Glad it works on the bike, that's the important thing. Your collection just keeps getting better and better! Keep on rockin'

Thanks my man. I got lucky with this one. Said eff it and sent an offer. Seller is cool AF. Told him that if he is ever in South Florida, I owe him a few beers.

Beautiful jacket, perfect fit.
Interesting that they chose black hardware for the beltbuckle.

The Bates* got some more love early this morning before the sun started to heat things up. Switched over to this rockabilly Golden Bear instead:

EDIT 20200610: Cleaning up my old posts where I incorrectly identified a jacket as a Bates. Thanks to the keen eyes of members more knowledgeable than I it has been determined to be a Vanson.​

Wow! I love this. You look like trouble

Funnily enough, the worker supervising the self-checkout machines at the store this morning accused me of not paying for a box of diapers even though it clearly was shown on the receipt. Last week (wearing the Bates*) she accused me of the same thing for a box of baby wipes. Suffice to say, I had a conversation with a store manager today about being profiled as a thief. Must be the leather jacket + hat + mask combination.

In retrospect, I should I have kept a 70s porn 'stache after shaving the beard off yesterday. The wife's not a fan and has made that position known more than once. Suffice to say, she married me anyway even after this date night bowling several years ago:

It’s 65 degrees. Curfew lifted from Chicago at 12:30PM today. My pub with all manner of IPA and Shepard’s pie is available for outdoor dining. It’s nowhere near necessary but I’m at least going to head out in my Aero HB. If I shed it in 1/2 hr I don’t care. Feeling better than I have in a long while tonight.

Going to check my new jacket, so probably will come back wearing a new one, leave this one for lining repair on the back collar... hopefully.

Looks custom-made for you. And yeh, the range of motion on my Cascade is the best out of all of my jackets. They nailed that pattern.

... I didn't bring my new jacket home, I tried on, and pin point spot for every twist lock, got marked with pencil, but they were busy doing stuff with rolls of batik... and mine still have to wait, I thought I can wait for 5 twist locks and 2 pairs of snaps to be done... but nope. not today

Here is a cool juxtaposition: I found an old photo from 1996 when I visited the U.K. and was wearing my first Lost Worlds jacket, an A-2. I’m in the British War Museum where they had the tail section of Rudolf Hess’ Me110 on display (the plane he flew from Germany to Scotland in 1941 when he surrendered or defected or whatever).
The second photo is my new 2020 LW Rigger jacket (a light rain is falling).
Back in 1996, before TFL or the LW website (even before Google!), I learned about Lost Worlds from a print ad in the back of some aviation magazine. I ordered my first LW A-2 and was hooked! Thus began this “hobby” of buying, selling and buying more bespoke leather jackets.
Seven LW jackets (plus many others from a multitude of makers), 24 years and countless dollars later, I may have finally found my “Grail” jacket, the Rigger!

What a great looking jacket!
Congratulations Thor!

I got the chance to handle a Fox Creek at a local MC rally. Real nice naked cowhide. Heavy. Well-made. While I’m not a fan of the vents aesthetically, I bet they are a blessing when riding in the heat. By all accounts, they run a great and biker-friendly operation too.

I'm not a fan of the vents, either. I honestly didn't feel much cooler when the vents are open. I noticed the front vents will not stay open, even though I open the vent. I think when I move my arms around and it closed the vents. So I don't like the vents on this jacket.

 

[navetsea]

man, when they want to make a vent for the underarm, why not just zipper on the bottom half of the sleeve right at the underarm, and have a netting or perforated leather as gusset to add mobility when the zip is opened also to keep them connected so when the zip is opened the sleeve is not half separating from the body and flapping around with the wind.
