What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[roadking04]

Fingers crossed. About to do a virtual inspection.

Hope it turns out for you. Keep us posted.

A leather one...

That, uh.... doesn't exactly narrow it down in your case.

Well, a deer sideswiped my bike and I flew about 50 feet. Nothing I could do. I made eye contact as it tried to jump past me as I was swerving. The deer ended up under my bike mangled. RIP. About a year old buck. My LW J23 hardly has a scratch. I’m a true believer now. It’s crazy. I’ve got bruises on my body but the jacket looks the same lol. Damn deer. My bike is probably totaled though. LW hides all the way if ya ride folks.

Sorry to hear this, I hope you bounce back from the scrapes and bruises quickly!

Ok, it's a black leather jacket...

I see what you did there

Lots of dead deer everywhere and my partner at work also hit a deer yesterday. In his car.

I think the bike may be salvageable. The bike is running like a top. Forks look good. Need new crash bars, handlebars, front fender for sure. I think the rest is good. Fingers crossed. About to do a virtual inspection.

Gotta make sure the frame is true.

Just black? Not old-motor-oil black or Düsseldorf-highway-asphalt-under-the-walkway-at-night black?

 

[Mrfrown]

My take away from this revelation by @Carlos840 is that he’s NOT wearing either of his new gray moosehide masterpieces from LW! Gasp! The horror!

 

[Mrfrown]

@JMax dang man I guess I’m just piling on at this point but glad you’re ok

Holy crap! You gonna be sore for a few days. Deers are no joke. Force is mass times acceleration. They usually do a lot of more damage to the motorists and their vehicles. I've seen accidents where half ton pick up trucks gets blown over to its sides from medium sized bucks. Glad you walked away ok.

It's, like, how much more black can it be...

Stepped out this morning wearing an original vintage 1941 Aero Leather Clothing Co. contract 21996 A-2 flight jacket with Buzz Rickson's Original Spec Olive Drab Chino's.
I’m all about earthtones… Olive drabs, khaki and leathery browns… But you risk looking like you’re trying to cosplay Indiana Jones when you throw on a leather jacket!

Who cares what people think? You look great. If I walk outside in my crosszip 95% of the public wonders where my motorcycle is so it's the same scenario.

Truly need to see more of this leather around here. I've never once been disappointed in it.

Looks like the complete sidewinder package, did you do any modifications?

What are your thoughts on it? Do you have more about this elsewhere?

Hey J. I call dibs on the boy’s jacket for Willow. I almost bid on it but she’s too small. Maybe we can keep it going around the Lounge family forever.

Duly noted, held for you and Willow. Absolutely want to keep it in the family.

These older Vanson jackets, they managed to get the fit right better than anyone, I swear. Companies that delicately go after this silhouette struggle even today.

I was a little self conscious at first with a cross zip since prior to I had more conservative styles - half belt, CR, etc. But I tell you what, I probably reach for this jacket 75% of the time because it's just so darn comfortable and the mobility is unparalleled.

As a Mid-Westerner it's pretty much a matter of when, not if, you'll hit a deer. Almost like a rite of passage. Glad to hear to you're safe aside from some bumps and bruises and that the LW held up more than admirably.

Got called into Halloween duty at the last minute yesterday evening. Usually I stay home and hand out the candy but kiddo number two stayed home sick with mom. Hit up the neighborhood with son #1 in a no name suede piece:
