Am I the only one?

I think that I may be the only one in my area that got out of work today and was psyched that it was 60 degrees out and raining and had to come up with a reason to leave my place so I could wear my Aero. Since I got it in July I have been wearing it almost nightly in my apartment, worn it on several motorcycle rides(while convincing myself it wasn't too hot, although it was), and been just waiting for the right weather. On my first actual outing a few weeks ago during a cold I ran into an another Lounger who immediately complemented me on the jacket and showed off his Eastman's. My wife was glad to see that I wasn't the only crazy one. Anyways, just thought I would post up a pic of the jacket as of now and see if anyone else was enjoying some cooler jacket weather.



Ignore the look on my face, didn't realize until afterwards I look angry. Also, usually you can't see my belt, my belt was loose and my pants sagged. I think next jacket I will order a tiny bit longer so that it doesn't sit right on the edge of my belt.

Hey Dude - your jacket looks great! The nightly wear in an air-conditioned apartment has softened it perfectly - it looks comfortable. I agree that it's nice to have the belt covered by the jacket. The way we wear our pants nowadays means jackets a bit longer.

It seems I'm luckier than most here as I live on the Oregon coast where even in the summer it is cool and windy. So I have been able to wear my Alexander Leathers Arkansas almost daily! In fact, I've already been caught in one good hard rain and several misty walks. Jacket season is approaching for us all though.

BTW - you don't look angry, you look serious and focused.

Cheers!

No you're NOT the only one. I took a slew of pics today in the late afternoon sun. Just chilly enough for Horse. We've ALL been waiting anxiously for the fall to arrive so we can wear/show off our new hides.

It was cold and windy at the soccer field this evening. A-2 came in handy for blocking the wind!

I'm flying from Delhi (still 34 centigrade and humid) to Brussels (12 centigrade and overcast) tomorrow. Looking forward to it! Will be great to wear some of my jackets again, even if only for one week. nd I'll pick up some Aero goodies that have been delivered. Hoping for a good fit.

You're not the only one. Enough of this warm weather bring on old man winter!

Now wait a minute. I'm all for some "Fall nip in the air" but I'm NOT ready for down undies and Irvin weather just yet! Sides I don't want to turn on my furnace right now.

I remember meeting you last month! Your jacket looked even better in person than it does in the photo (and it looks good in the photo). And yep, I am wearing my jacket this morning as well. It takes a while for weather in NC to cool down, but when it does the jackets are out on display!

I too have been waiting for the cool nip of Fall to finally get here.
I wore my AL Dirt Rider a couple of mornings already on my motorcycle ride to work.
This morning it was rather brisk. I have an Aero Highwayman that I have yet to wear outside the house.
It is nowhere near cold enough for my 50's HB with alpaca lining but not really wishing that weather either.

You are not alone. My girlfriend always gets mad at me when I complain about too nice weather (for a decent jacket).:D

I know this scenerio all too well... and what happens when we're out enjoying the evening and the sun sets to chill the air?
"give me your jacket...I'm cold" [huh]
