What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[ton312]

Vanson model F. I’ve been missing quite a bit lately so it’s nice to actually put the bat on the ball. I still have some work to do with it but I love the fit and the style.

Nice. Did you give it your cordo treatment?

No, just Urad. I’m going to run over the whole jacket with oil and another coat of Urad at some point. The jacket was originally dark brown. It was completely sun faded. This is how it looked after I applied oil to the sleeves and collar.

I ran out of oil and used Urad to get it where it’s at now. Will oil the whole thing for uniformity.

Recent eBay find. 70’s Lee ecru trucker. It’s got the collar! @handymike @ton312

Send it directly to 5* and have it made in the Brandy HH!

Vanson Model E and some flares, rockstar aesthetic

That’s definitely in the books for this one. Maybe not right away but it’s a nice idea. I haven’t followed the Fivestar thread for a while, is Brandy HH their best offering at the moment?

Day three of five of cold, wet, windy conditions as Old Man Winter gives a middle finger to Spring in the Great Lakes. Nothing that Aero CXL and N&F Elephant denim can't handle:

Glad I decided to keep this one after all.

Fantastic. How does the arm circumference compare to the Californian?

 

[Mrfrown]

Californian I got in time for my birthday, have worn two days in a row with more to come. I think it will need minor surgery as the action back seems to have lost its action. Nevertheless a fantastic jacket

Looks great! Easy fix.

Can I ask why?

Can I ask why?

How do I put this gently….

T.W.A.T:

Tight
Worn
Around
Testicles

The result is a ******** of sorts, a ******, and while this look works on only fans, it’s not working for you or any other man, ever and for all eternity.

Mine was like that too. I’m not sure there was or is any elastic in it to begin with.

Yeah fair enough. I have a lot of issues with thigh fit, even when the waist is just fine.

Fantastic. How does the arm circumference compare to the Californian?

It’s noticeably smaller, especially the forearm and wrist. I don’t ever zip the sleeves on the Roadstar and I don’t have particularly big wrists at all.
