Lunch with friends in my trusty G-1 at NYC’s Fraunces Tavern, the oldest structure in the City (built 1719); a place where General George Washington had dinner with his fellow Continental Army Officers!
Depp has been in the news lately more for his financial troubles than for his iconic style or his acting.
It’s a shame because he’s a good actor and does indeed wear some great leather jackets!
A couple years ago I was at a vintage clothing flea market in Brooklyn. Johnny Depp was there, browsing the racks of clothes (all by himself, no girlfriend, no bodyguard, no “entourage “). He seemed like just another regular Joe.
We all knew who he was but no one bothered him for an autograph or...
Exploring Arizona in my US Authentic horsehide G-8; Phoenix, Sedona, the Grand Canyon for afew days and then finding a mysterious spirit totem on the Navaho reservation (no one knows how old it is or what it’s used for).
The horsehide has handled everything: hot desert sun, howling winds off the...
Neil Armstrong in his G-1; he flew combat missions during the Korean War at the age of 20 (flying the Grumman F9F Panther jet with VF-51 off USS ESSEX).
Explored “The Vessel”, a $200 million stairway-to-nowhere sculpture in NYC’s Hudson Yards development. Wearing my G-1, I happened upon section G-1 of The Vessel;)
Finally scored a Willis & Geiger leather map case off eBay (I’ve been on the hunt for a long time!). And my new favorite jacket, the Gibson & Barnes Civil G-1 on a chilly, blustery St. Patrick’s Day.
Definition of a true “Grab it and go” jacket: It’s 3:30am, you have to shovel out your vehicle in freezing temperatures AND drive the unplowed roads to make it to work by 5am!
Today, facing exactly this scenario, I grabbed my G&B Civil G-1 (with goose down liner).:D
How about a blue mouton collar? Versace was selling this for $8,795!
In all seriousness, dark blue mouton would look pretty cool on a black MC jacket!
The dark blue mouton collar on a BR B-15C is a prime example of how good it looks.
Cold and blustery out in the harbor with 50 mph gusts and choppy seas and salt spray flying everywhere.
My G&B Civil G-1 (with goose down insulated inner liner) kept me warm and dry.
Just watched this flick; excellent movie (and the first American movie filmed in post-war Japan!).
Bogey’s leather bomber jacket & fedora ensemble is as good as it gets!
Having just bought a slightly oversized Gibson & Barnes Civil G-1 off the ‘bay at a great price, I decided to experiment and perform a little jacket surgery (a “Jacket-ectomy”? Lol).
I opened up the inner lining and inserted a lightweight Eddie Bauer goose down jacket and then sewed the whole...
My Cooper G-1 has both the big blue “civilian” style label and a mil-spec white nomenclature tag.
I suspect that Cooper needed to fulfill their military G-1 contract anyway they could and just supplied the Navy with whatever they had in their factory. Either they added the white label to their...
Slogging thru a big winter storm; snow, ice, sleet, rain, and zero visibility in the harbor. I wore my Gibson & Barnes Civil G-1 (roomy enough for a turtleneck and a thick fleece vest).
Stay safe out there guys!
