What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[barnabus]

I haven't worn this in anger yet, but I just picked up this mackinaw/barnstormer style jacket. NOS, still with the tags.

It's a pseudo-repro from the Gap, from 2007 if I'm reading the label correctly.

And it's amazing. Warm as anything with an onion quilt lining, storm cuffed sleeves and a belt too, which is done up round the back in these pictures.

More fuel for my eventual High Street Heroes thread.

Thanks; I hadn't realised the bills were different lengths. Did that vary with time, or intended purpose?

No, these Caps are different types. The "Bergmütze" has 2 ventilation rivets, a leather sweatband inside and brown buttons. A normal M43 doesn´t have these signs.

These days I am mostly in the trucker.

Iron Heart x Cootie Productions or possibly a fake but I don't care.

Photo from a few days ago, but I like it.

After all these years, the only leather jacket I have left is a trucker, from Gap.

I think mine is brilliant, but yours outclasses it in every metric.

I thought you sold your Gap trucker. Or did you have two?

Yeah, this jacket definitely surpasses my Gap trucker, which is itself a decent jacket.

That looks amazing! Is it their semi aniline tea core or full aniline black core?

I’m pretty sure it’s semi, but not 100% sure. I bought it in 2021

It’s beautiful leather regardless.

I sold one but bought another in a smaller size. The fit now is amazing.

Just got a new seal brown goat post-war civilian A2 from Lost Worlds. Great jacket and took about 2 weeks from order to delivery.

Had one of these second hand a few years ago that was too small. Very happy to now have a properly fitting in the collection.
