What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[JCSD]

Sleeves are long but otherwise I couldn’t be happier with this Freewheelers La Brea // thanks to Jake @almostvintagestyle for passing on this gem

Cossack/Menlo jacket by Whitefeathers (Austria)
Italian Horsehide

We don’t see Whitefeather enough around here.

I love their designs.

Whitefeathers

I'll have to stop by there sometime when I'm in Vienna and have some time.

Definitely, and I’m sure you’ll find some exciting stuff out there

It looks great on you!

 

[Entropindigo]

I’m thankful, as I’m sure many are, for the dip down to a high of 60 today. Also happened to be just sunny enough to tan my lily white hides.

 

[JCSD]

It looks great on you!

Thanks, man!

Everything I love about vintage Horsehide and halfbelts summed up in one jacket. This one has moved its way into the all time favorite spot. No issues with length. A rarity.

Ponyweather today...

My recent wears. Soon it will be too hot even for the vest, but at least things are cool after storm fronts come through.

Spring is trying to show it's signs of coming here to Iowa. Not the best resolution on these photos, but shows how the LW J23 and Aero IR are developing in April...

That LW is just outstanding Randy. Your best fit, ever I believe.

So damn good. This reminds me exactly of my Phillips jacket (that @Marc mndt discovered was made by Rich-Sher). Shawn got the collar perfectly right. He should rename this model the Rich-Sher Halfbelt.

This jacket DID turn out bitchen. Particulary nice graining on that left side.

@ton312, Being that I also have one of the referred to P66 HBs (mine is Steerhide) and have never been able to find out much about who might have made them---could you kindly direct me to the thread where @Marc mndt determined the maker to be Rich Sher????? Somehow I missed this revelation!!! An interesting development I need to get more info on if possible.

I spotted this Rich Cher which shows a lot of similarities to the P66 jacket.

Marc sent me these off IG. All the details look super close to the Phillips, minus the rear yoke, and AB, pocket piping is a little different, but overall, the basic pattern looks the same, same liner. I’m fairly convinced.

Was just thinking the exact same thing!

KILLER detective work!!!!! I am gonna try to get mine out tomorrow and go over it close. Very cool. Connecting the dots on these jackets is part of the fun. Interested to see what @tmitchell59 might know about this too. Maybe I'll start a new thread on these. Kind of a tight niche but it still might be interesting to have it in one thread for archival purposes.

Thanks boys!!!!!
