What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Al 916]

I don't know much about Cals, but I don't think it is a Block Bilt jacket.

I had a steerhide one by Block Bilt, photos here: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/rare-block-bilt-1940s-chp-police-jacket.110722/

The teardrop Talon zip suggests 60s/70s, I think?

I have teardrops on this one (the first owner said he bought it from 'Star') however I always assumed it was a bit later. I suppose Officers part exchanged their old outgrown or ridden jackets.

That is great back up to JMax's post (now I re-read it) thank you!

It might tie in better with the retired Officer who sold it referring to 'Star' as the purchase location rather than 'Cal'

Cold wet and windy here in Madrid, wearing a Spiewak parka, not one of the golden fleece, newer version, not bad, still better than a miltec, I checked one of those out here, price wise 20 euros from vinted Spain so was a no brainer

Working on some more appropriate photos. Can’t do tough vintage guy anymore. Morally flexible 70’s guy Might work though.

Need some plaid bell bottoms like the catalog pic and like I actually wore to high school in the 70’s. 60’s - 70’s were the best for rock n roll and muscle cars and this old dude got to live it.

The real “Golden era”!

And I left out the best part …70’s GIRLS!!

This look says “I am so cool, that I actively try to play it down…. But it doesn’t work.”

To me it says “The shit is in the trunk”

That is a fine thing. I like their jackets and I really like their selection of hides. Mine all 'wear'/'hang' totally differently to my Aeros - not in a better or worse way, but the fits are different. My Klondike in black goatskin is really comfortable. The V2 in mahogany steer is also much lighter-feeling than its weight suggests. What hide is this?

I’ve tried Aero jackets, for some reason they don’t fit me as well as the SB. Plus, the gussets make it more wearable.

I think 3sixteen really has their denim jackets dialed in. I love the way the sleeves are perfectly tapered. Size medium on me.

That's one outstanding piece of gear. I'm really interested to see how the leather develops ...

THX for the additional pic

Vanson all week long and for the first gig of the year
Aero on the weekend

Big fan of "The Ocean", seen them multiple times.

Aero Hooch Hauler in natural CXL FQHH.

Damn that looks fantastic on you! Make sure to post this in the Hooch Hauler thread as well for historic preservation
Love my own, shame I screwed up the lapel folding by trying to bring the fold down - only worked on one side, but the chest pocket side would not comply. So now I have two differently folded lapels haha.

Not exactly wearing to day, but I wanted to give the brown-green-brown look a shot with my new (to me) pair of White's cruisers in Seidel British Tan Double Shot leather. It does match the brown CXL decently, albeit not as dark.
Pants are Iron Heart cargo pants in heavy canvas.
Inspired by the recent Hooch Hauler post I pay respect to this fantastic jacket as well

The jacket and boots go well together

I actually like how the jacket and boots are different shades of brown. I feel it brings more depth and visual interest to the outfit.

It's not really leather-jacket weather today but as we say in Sweden "vill man vara fin får man lida pin" which roughly translates to "if you want to look good you'll have to take the pain "(very rough but I hope you get the drift )

So today my new baby joined me to work

Cheers all!

@Herrvallmo Love the mouton collar on that one!
