What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[AeroFan_07]

Had to post this Twinning jacket with the collar set free after it's wash treatment. Sadly, the mildew smell is just as strong as it was (hence the slight grimace with it on). As @ton312 indicated, we just had ~ 13-15" of snow here in Eastern Iowa, now the winds have picked up and we'll be -7F (-21.6C) Saturday into Sunday then -13 (-25C) Sunday into Monday and it's due to hold around those nightly temps most of the week. Should help freeze out some bugs, germs, etc.



But leather may not be in the plan for the next 7-10 days without some serious layers under it.

First time out for the WWII Naval Clothing Depot 10 button pea. These things are absolute monsters. Every man, woman and child should have one. Kersey wool is practically waterproof and the warmest I’ve ever worn.

That looks SMART. Classy. Very nice.

Agreed. When it gets cold, and I don’t feel like the certain vibe of my B3, my kersey Peacoat is the only solution. Not least because it has room for some solid wool u der it too.

Vanson. I don’t know how they manage to make jackets that look equally good with T-shirt as well as chunky wool sweaters. Some sort of magic

It's cold out there. Getting ready to run some errands.

Loving these trophy jackets. They really made me appreciate quality buckles.

Yall agree this has to be goat hide?

Not as great of photo here but it was a good morning for a Langlitz with layers underneath -- for a few minutes.
Now all Carhartt upper & lower and more snow coming in, along with more wind. 14"+ in the past 24 hours so the snowblower has had it's work cut out for it. Thankful to have one.

Damn!! We had about 3” fall yesterday morning, then it rained all day and melted down most. Just a dusting overnight in the city, far worse west in the burbs. Looks like you got it good Randy! That’s a proper snowfall.

Can someone please explain to me, why this jacket costs so much? Or, maybe it's a type-o??

 

[bolted]

Considering dollars, that might be a different currency above.

Oddly enough MBenz used to include the equivalent of throwaway leathers* with their spare tires in their 50s/60s autos trunks.
It’s still my go-to. I believe it’s a no name Nubuck considered trunk coat. Exceptionally warm.

Fixed. I’d say at most, via Amazon.

Because there are people who will pay stupid money for a brand label.

It might just be the angle of the photo… but that’s a seriously big helmet! Bring the Great Gazoo to mind. Lol.

Nice jacket though… as usual.

 

[Johnny Deadlifts]

I'm wrong again Has the game pouches and also they Throat latch. So, nothing special. View attachment 579423 View attachment 579424 View attachment 579426

Thanks for that reference. I may have confused two jackets. This is the 30s jacket. No label, thick course wool

That 30s is a beauty

1) yes I have a big head lol
2) 'helmets' like Paul Teutel is wearing in this pic are not approved for use in the EU because they do not provide much protection.

Getting more attached to this jacket the more it breaks in. Stiff horsehide, it’s like body armor in cold weather.

Jacket ID? I'm new to leather jackets, I really like this one

Because that's Visvim. Like Enfants Riches Deprimes or Vetements, Visvim clothes costs a lot. Except that Visvim doesn't grow or evolve.

They do make high quality leather jackets. not $13K quality, though. Not $800 but then again, nobody on the planet does.
