What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[jonesy86]

Darn right. And salute the bike as I ride on by!! I’ll fake like I didn’t see you, unless you don’t salute. Then I am stopping to tear you a new one. Lol- True story.

Here we just throw the Shaka whether it is good bad or indifferent, it works for everything. Someone cuts you off in traffic, throw the Shaka, someone yields to let you into traffic throw the Shaka. Someone says hi to you and you have no idea what their name is, throw the Shaka.

sorry about the cracked ribs, sound like a perfect timing for "leather vest" to give extra support on those ribs so they would be healing right...

What Jacket Did You Bring To The Beach Yesterday?

I noticed that this GW Ventura has more in common with my 40s-50s Sportsclad than with my 50s Californian. I really dig the 4 inch collar, and the wrist straps.

The winds swung around to the East North-East yesterday at at least 25mph and brought a few glimpses of sun. Big swell, choppy waves, and major rip currents kept me out of the water. I won't be going into the water for a while now anyway. I stood up too quickly to get up and take a **** in the middle of the night the other night, took a fall and cracked some ribs. Gotta keep an eye on the BP, and have the doc tinker with the dosage of my BP meds, as apparently it has been too low.
That's cool, there are a couple old men out there every day who don't get up from their beach chairs too often, I'll just fit in better. Give the lifeguards a break from having to make sure I don't drown.

Yes, please take care out there. Or like Navetsea said, good excuse to buy an armored jacket by JL or Vanson. The PJ edition. Seriously though, take care.

Thanks guys, it only hurts when I laugh.
I am thinking of working up a Five* project with padded or armored 2.2mm leather, something like this:

oh if someone giving me that sign I would be misunderstood them as needing to borrow my phone or will call me later

Sorry to hear of your fall there Jonsey!
Take it easy and try not to laugh too hard, let those ribs heal up there sir.

I see a red door
And I want it painted black
No colors anymore
I want them to turn black

Sorry to hear that. Cracked ribs may not be a biggie compared to other health issues, but they sure hurt like hell! Get well soon!

A change of colour, and your a different guy altogether. Love that look!

Dawn patrol on a freezing, windy morning. Had to drop off the wife and thought some CXL would do. Can bring out the shearling when it gets warmer…

Love the look of that stockman. I keep telling myself i dont need a car coat and then pictures like that weaken my resolve. Would love to see more fit shots

Colimbo Stockman Horsehide

I love the Colimbo Stockman. I wanted one for a few years now (still do) but I am between sizes in that jacket and it just would not work. I tried a deerskin one on in Japan a while back but ended up with a Rainbow Country Spider car coat instead which is similar to the Stockman. The Stockman is such a nice jacket it broke my heart I could not get one to fit since that is the jacket I wanted to buy myself while I was there. 40 was snug and the 42 was too big.

A pic to tempt @Bfd70 a bit more.

Bring on the fit pics
