My coworkers call my beach cloth jacket "the sock monkey" LOL. Which is pretty good actually. The Cordo I've received comments mainly on the color and the feel. I wore it to a fund raiser and three people (all dudes, not lingerie models unfortunately) commented on the color and heft. One guy, told me I should fill my bath tub with hot water and soak myself and the jacket. I thanked him for the advice and slowly backed away.

Apparently, that's a thing. Youtube will eventually start recommending it if you search for Vanson, Schott or Langlitz. It's actually more unsettling than it should be. That's when I know it's time to do something else. I guess it's what is officially known as that part of Youtube.
Yeah the guy was pretty adamant that only the jacket and my birthday suit should be worn in the tub. Thankfully he wasn't the bartender.

Has to be this one, Aero Blizzard, my newest acquisition. I’ve received more compliment and comments on it than any other jacket I have. Mostly it’s people commenting that it’s “a nice flying jacket”.
The other one that comes to mind is the Schott perfecto. But, the attention is more along the lines of “where’s the motorcycle”.

I’m in a similar boat, the only real comments I get are about my Anj-4 and it’s typically “where’s the plane?”
And Ton312 I am contacting Pantone today and insisting they name a color sock monkey gray.
I guess that’s what we get for cosplaying as pilots and bikers (I don’t ride a motorcycle) [emoji6]

So far I got most positive comments on the red cafe racer and this one. People mostly comment how much they love the leather though some complaints are directed at the jacket being too short.
But everyone finds it "beautiful" which is a new one to me. Not the way it fits me or anything, they just find it beautiful.

That is a super nice trucker. Who makes it?
EDIT: never mind. I enlarged the photo and read "Aero" on the buttons.

I've probably still had the most compliments on my first top tier HH jacket. My Aero Hwymn purchased in 2000 off the sale page. Almost too short, but the price was right.

Almost doesn't count. That is a good fit. Another inch or so, and it would have been too short. But it isn't. It is a good fit.

Another of my favorites, the Enfield breaks in to a comfortable and soft hide. For a cowhide, it also develops good graining.
You have done well with your M.C. jacket choices. Now, if you just had a Fox Creek for total comfort on the motor. When I wear mine, I don't even know I am wearing 1.4 mm leather (3 1/2 oz.). It honestly feels as if I am just wearing a T shirt.
I used to compete in slow speed police style competitions, and my only jacket for cool weather wear was the Fox Creek. Never even knew I was wearing a jacket, even with the liner in.

Has anyone found there to be explicit negative reactions to wearing a leather jacket? I happen to wear an A-2 on occasion, which I've received both positive and negative reactions from. That said, most reactions have been positive and to be completely honest, I couldn't give a rats rear end about the negativity.

Yes. Mainly looks of disgust from vegan hipsters.Has anyone found there to be explicit negative reactions to wearing a leather jacket?

^forget that! I could live without a leather jacket. A week without eating beef and I’d go loco.
It’s pretty funny. Some time ago, I started on a meat restrictive diet (I’m a vegetarian on weekdays and only allow myself to eat meat on weekends). My jackets (and shoes, wallet, belt, bag/briefcase etc) elicit quite a lot of disgusted stares in the vegan and vegetarian lunch restaurants I frequent during the weeks.

One of the best looking, best fitting jackets I have seen anywhere!
I think black CR style jackets are perhaps less noticed than brown, maybe the reason your brown HWM might get more recognition/comments than your black Enfield. For whatever reason my russet Vicanza Sheene seems to get more "nice jacket" comments than my black Vicanza Sheene, although I prefer my black over my russet. Go figure ...
