Decided to take some selfies...

[nick123]

I don't know why I'm posting this, other than for entertainment's sake. I will probably be letting these go, but in the meantime I decided to have some fun and snap a few pics (with sunglasses, of course). Fit on these aren't perfect, but maybe you'd like to see them.

Johnson Leathers custom Motorcycle Jacket

Nick, I am thoroughly happy with this thread! Windward is a perfection, but so is the MC jacket.

Here I am breaking a major fashion rule: Never tuck in a Hawaiian. Too bad, here is!

That is a relatively tame Hawaiian, so all is forgiven.

Nick, don't sell the Johnson overdye.....

I think this is a great thread too!
Maybe we will get to see some worn in jackets- not just out-of-box.
Hopefully!

It's just one of those days, where we need an influx of pics. Plumbline just posted a bunch of stuff, I thought I'd continue to run with it.

Thank you. ;-)
This forum gets boring without the pictures.

Is it really a faux pas to tuck an Hawaiian in? Scroll down about six or so postings and you will see me similarly attired. My shirt is not tucked in, compered to your's, mine has an element of, I don't know, a sort of crumpled look.

My wife makes my shirts, I got her to come and take a look. " Wear your's on the outside, dear." She instructed, "he's slim, tucked in looks the part when you are slim."

She then delivered the killer punch: "Like maternity mothers, you need to hide your belly dear." Thanks a bunch!

GHT, you look a lot cooler than me in those pics!

What a silver tongued flatterer you are. Do you know, if you had been born on this side of the pond, they would call you a "Wide Boy."

I was afraid to look the term up, but on the Wiki page it mentioned a Kinks song, so it can't be that bad.

One more, I look so cool.

 

[Monitor]

Beyond cool!

That's the jacket you were selling, right?

 

[nick123]

If someone jumps on it, sure. But it was custom tailed for an ape's proportions, so I'm sure it will sit. I think it's a good idea to at least take some pics of your jackets before you sell, just to have around, maybe frame and put on your nightstand.

I have tons of photos of all the (leather) jackets I have and have had. Was just thinking today how the leather on that D-pocket was the best I've ever seen... I could've had a good collection by now, and instead I'm down to two jackets.

Don't sell this beauty! I've learned that the Perfectos are the only jackets one can wear over an Hawaiian.

I'm with Handymike: don't sell it. That's one of my favorite jackets on this forum, and it suits you to the ground.

 

[nick123]

I heard the first Damned record, and I was never the same again. Circa 1978.

 

[handymike]

Neat, Neat, Neat.....

 

[Plumbline]

Brown belt and a black jacket ..... you'll cause turmoil with that combo .... next you'll be telling us your socks didn't match either ....

 

[nick123]

All ready for tomorrow.
