What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[torfjord]

Didn't want to be accused of being a thief three weeks running, so went with the conservative Aero 30s half belt today:

Damn that’s nice. Cordovan?

Perfect fit!

Knowing what I know now having acquired several more jackets I might opt for just a touch more length (~0.75 - 1") in the sleeves. That being said, this was my first leather jacket purchase which I picked up barely used here on the Classifieds. Also, I think it's period correct in terms of sleeve length so I am happy and can appreciate it for what it is.

Great looking jacket. Spot-on fit and the hide looks superb.

The hide is indeed spectacular. Unfortunately I've fallen victim to jacket acquisition syndrome, so giving this the proper amount of wear time becomes harder and harder with each additional jacket that comes through the door. My vintage Cal and Vanson are just as heavy, if not heavier, but they're fully broken in and so much easier to wear. (Obviously the pattern/cut affect the comfort and wearability as well.) Only way to get this one there is to put in the work.

Damn that’s nice. Cordovan?

It's actually the brown CXL FQHH, but if often seems to drift towards cordovan under certain lighting conditions. Picture was taken in the evening around 19:00, so the sun was just starting to get lower in the sky here at 41.5N latitude. The light was filtering through the pine trees in the back yard.

I can see where if you put your hands down to your sides the sleeves would look too short. Hard to tell how short with your hands in your pockets, though. However, if your happy with it..that's what counts.

A while ago I sold a Steerhide branded Halfbelt Crosszip with purple quilted lining, huge regret. Today, I found another one, a straight zip, double D ring, I’m gonna hold on to it like my life depends on it

Thanks gents, but you're far too kind. I'm just a small fish in a really big pond of heavyweights.
