What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[MrProper]

Again the Ridley.
Could also have been the LL Corsair today, but in the rain Vicenza is better than sheepskin.

The Schott 118 got some indoor AC wear on football Sunday. Fun fact about wearing the bigger Schott’s. Anything larger than a 46 on the website gets an incremental up charge until you get to my size and it adds $260 on top of the published price of $900. I reckon a 52 Long takes an additional cow hide.

Been a while since I thought about wearing a jacket again. HWM -zip sleeve just landed...

Sweltering temps still hanging on here in the Texas Hill Country.
I do wear a perforated jacket when I ride my motorcycle.

​

Here is a peek at a recent jacket project that I completed.
The project began with a nice cotton canvas motorcycle jacket.
It was a lint magnet, not at all water resistant, and the wind cut through it at 80mph.

The basic bones of the jacket were all in the right place. It seemed like a life on the road instead of the back of the closet was a worthy waste of brain cells.

​

I've always been a fan of waxed cotton storm jackets and so, that's what I did to it.
Here's a photo mid-process:

​

What a PITA. Simple melting of wax and application then melting it into the fiber with a heat gun.
At this point I'm beginning to doubt the wisdom of the undertaking but I'm well beyond the point of no return.

It really turned out nice. Stiff as a board and heavy as a mortal sin.

You may recognize this as my first attempt at posting photos here so be gentle.

Still loving this Jelado french pique jacket, apologies for poor quality pic, I felt a bit anxious snapping photos of myself at work so I was a little far from the camera

Been wearing them pretty consistantly for 2 years at an unfulfilling job, kicking a lot of chairs

Still a couple days away from proper jacket weather, but the morning walk to the son's bus stop usually provides a quick opportunity. Inspired by @torfjord's C2, I dug out the OG C:

Ditto this to my reply about Tor’s Vanson. It’s imho everything a leather jacket should be and what many “top tier” brands are chasing.

Where’s my fellow urban waterside cowboys at? On a steel horse (bicycle) I ride haha!
