What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[TLW '90]

Great looking jacket! I wonder why Vanson doesn’t use the 2 way zipper on this. My Japanese version had one. It sure fixes things like sitting down easily.

My old Taylor's Chicago PD has a 2 way zipper, and it's definitely a great feature.

TOYS McCoy Durable Code33 Double Rider Jacket “The Wild One”, size 36. I got praise from my close friend at the gym just now and it feels amazing. It’s made of horsehide but supple in relative to my other horsehide jackets. Which begs the question: If I had to pick between this jacket and my RMC J-24, which one comes up on top? Within 5 seconds, I picked my TOYS McCoy Durable.

Sneakers: Nike Air Force 1 “Snakeskin”

Looks awesome, love the insignia etc - much as I’d like to If I tried wearing a jacket with that back panel design on it around my way I would find myself in a sticky situation quickly, as the local 1%er mc has a very similar logo. I had to return a Buco cap with that skull/piston design on it when I suddenly realised haha

Thanks, movies have a big influence on my clothes choices. Marlon Brando, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Steve McQueen to me are the ultimate cool icon. We don’t have your problem where I live, it’s perfectly safe here. People in general don’t meddle in other people’s business.

Quite. Anyone wearing the painted ones outside of East Asia is an idiot or has a death wish.

Them folks are the dominant club in Florida. I’ve seen many a fool get into sticky situations with them. It’s not rocket science. Now, in TX, it’s a different club, less fools though. Must be a FL thing lol.

That’s as close to a grail piece as it will ever be for me. Don’t think I could find one in my size and not really looking too!

Needless to say: looks really great on you!

Thank you very much! Agreed, a grail piece for me as well

It's not just the biker gangs, the Black Rebel part is just as inappropriate, if not more... The skull logo is neat but I'd definitely try to wipe the lettering off the jacket.

I have to say, I'm so used to seeing Toys McCoy's beautiful insignia jackets on their instagram feed, it's cool to actually see one being worn in the wild, and worn well! I probably couldn't get away with it where I live in the UK, but in your context and where you live by the sounds of it, no problems.

That said, I have every intention of eventually picking up one of the new model J-24's. That in itself will require a certain unwavering inner confidence to wear, same applies to all motorcycle jackets really. As I saw someone else mention before, it's the aura of these mc jackets as much as anything.

On an art level, these are really cool, especially since my understanding is that the decorated jackets are hand-painted by the owner of TMC (founder of the original Real McCoys), hence the big premium over the plain jackets.

But yeah, wearing fictional gang insignia in the west is going to go badly…

His Marilyn Monroe art or something would be more wearable though.

How so?

Somebody knowing about the movie will see the jacket for what it is: a purely pop-cultural reference piece, not unlike the „Hilts„ A-2 or a „Top Gun“ G1.
Others will just see a painted jacket with a random acronym and a skull that they will find either „silly“ or „cool“. Unless they have a decent half-knowledge of contemporary culture, in which case they will mistake you for a fanboy of the SanFran rock band .

I do see that you may run into issues with 1%. gangs in some parts of the world.

Posting a jacket for the first time in a long time. Got this FL back in July and I’m loving it. Needless to say I’m enjoying this very mild northeastern winter.
