What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[dudewuttheheck]

if I had that jacket, I too wouldn't want to wear another!

Thanks! I almost decided to bring it on my vacation, but I'd probably only be able to wear it a couple days out of almost 3 weeks.

I've really enjoyed the fit pics of you wearing this jacket. Would you say it's fully converted you to vintage?

Thanks! It's damn near done it. I'll put it this way: I'm not actively looking for any more new jackets, not even Freewheelers ones. I am actively looking for vintage jackets and am looking forward to the next inspiration and any other opportunities to find good vintage jackets.

I'm not opposed to a new jacket, but the Vanson, then the Cal, and now especially this have pushed me toward only really caring about finding vintage jackets. So basically yes, with a slight caveat. Plus, I'm not selling my Bodie or my RMC aviator as of now.

Really glad that you're on the way to fully making the switch because I know for sure that if any cool vintage jacket ends up in your hands, we will get nice fit pics

@dudewuttheheck
Was wondering why you never post any fit pics from the back?
I always miss that when I look at your wonderful pictures.

At least two cows gave their lives so that Schott NYC could build my model 118 in a size 52 Long. And for that….I salute them.

Today, I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Takanori Okamoto , representative of Langlitz Japan and founder of Black Sign (a badass Japanese clothing brand). He told me everything about the history of @langlitzleathers and the Death's Head Cascade jacket. Mr Takanori is the proud owner one of the original late '40s Death Head Cascade jackets of which only 5 were made.

Wow, that's awesome. Feel like a bit of a dope following up your post with my (new to me) Sears Oakbrook D pocket but here goes.

That's a whole lotta yen on your back with that one.

Custom Aero jacket made for Wardrobe 19. It’s a premier half-belt with a sunburst back and contrast stitching. Made in brown CXLHH. Look today is all over the place. 27°C, tank top, a very broken big toe (hence the clogs) and heavy denim. Quite the look.

Steel bars behind the windows…. they must have lots of valuables in there.

Deathhead is a totally different pattern than the current Cascade. Again, the Japanese market got the better stuff. Crazy prices though. ¥705,000 . I’d be attempted to make a run for it…

It was 54 degrees out this morning. Suburban weather.

CRAZY indeed. Everything they need to import into the country is expensive. Locally made stuff is 'cheap' (still a lot of money of course but between 40% -50% less expensive than when I buy the goods in Europe).

No, Flat Head single rider. Drunk posting and forgot to add that, which is admittedly bad form!
