    Vintage Leather Jacket, Cracked or Normal?

    I think it looks absolutely fine. Lots of grain there!

    Has anybody suggested Carhartt yet? Canvas is tightly woven, zip front to keep the wind blast out. And something like this has a warm sherpa lining too; https://www.carhartt.com/gb/en-gb/products/Relaxed-Fit-Washed-Duck-Sherpa-Lined-Utility-Jacket-103826-18?categoryId=3074457345616696196

    How cold can you still ride a motorcycle in a Schott 740N peacoat?

    I've rewaxed many jackets myself over the years, and also had my Barbour International rewaxed by Barbour themselves when it went in for repair (after a bike off, coincidentally) and never had a resulting smell or stickiness. When rewaxing, the wax is melted into the fabric of the cloth and...

    Another thought for waxed jackets (your noted objections aside - which fwiw I think are misconceptions) is a Barbour Commander. Lighter weight, button up front if that's what you're after, thicker warm lining, and cool enough for James Bond ofc...

    That looks awesome man! I love a Brad, and that's a pretty rare colour isn't it? Is it the shearling version?

    Oh also, those Barbour peacoats that @VansonRider suggested are excellent, and as rare as hen's teeth now as they're discontinued. You could also try to find a Barbour Shovler, which is similar. The one he's linked up there is a lady's one though. Here's a Shovler -

    How cold can you still ride a motorcycle in a Schott 740N peacoat?

    I have ridden many times in my Barbour International waxed cotton jacket. I wear an armoured shirt underneath it when I ride, but I understand that's irrelevant for this thread. The Barbour is however, windproof, rainproof, snugs up the fit with belt and adjustable cuffs, and does not smell...

    Impulse-buy wool overcoat just arrived today, but it has a strong smell of cigarette smoke that I'd like to get rid of. I can try airing it out outside, once we're back above freezing here. But would dry cleaning help? Does that work to deodorise things?

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I've got a wool overcoat on the way. I don't know why, I don't need one. Too good a price I suppose.

    How cold can you still ride a motorcycle in a Schott 740N peacoat?

    You do already ride? If you don't care about protection, and you don't want leather or anything that looks motorcycle-y, just wear whatever you like the look of. Just avoid anything that buttons up because it will be awful. The wind will blow right through it. Do you wear a helmet? The collar...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Superdry is a bit of a minefield I think. They can produce some nice quality pieces. And they can come up with some subtle, understated designs. And they can use some really heavy good quality cow hide. But they often don't do any of those things. They are wont to plaster jackets with tons of...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks man, that's kind of you. I'm not sure I can answer though. I got it used (but essentially unworn) off eBay and unlike a Schott there's no pocket tag with the model details. The tag has a model number though (I'll attach a photo below). The closest I can find to it on Superdry's website...

    How cold can you still ride a motorcycle in a Schott 740N peacoat?

    You already ride I presume? Then you'll know that on the bike any jacket feels about 10 degrees less effective than it does when your standing still. The main thing for warmth on the bike is keeping the wind out I think. That's why you need a zip jacket. A peacoat would be a liability. Bronson...

    Or maybe do like the original bikers did after the war and get yourself an N-1?

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    No prizes will be awarded for anyone who guesses that today I'm wearing the Superdry again ofc because I love it. Today is all a bit grey scale, but special mention for this morning's Everything Is For Everyday, which is a pair of Ixon winter motorcycle gloves. CE rated and armoured and by far...
