Does Your Jacket Stand Up?

[doug5551]

I have been a member of this forum almost 4 years and don't believe I have ever seen a post about this particular subject. But I could be wrong.

1. Schott P613S Burgundy
2. Schott 673
3. Brave Star Ironside Gauntlet 21.5 oz Selvedge denim.

Some, yes.

In the old days, it was standard to photograph a new Aero this way.

Found a pic of my 641 steerhide
Think it might be getting a little help from the pillows ….Maybe not…

Thank you for your post.

I did not know that.

I guess I am bringing back the old days....

You gotta admit that standing denim is next level and would not have been possible in the past!

My thickest horsehide jacket is this Johnson half belt. Just pulled it out and put it into rotation thanks to this thread.

This photo is from 2020 when this LW was still pretty new.

The purchase was made many years ago. Aero jacket out of the box

This photo is after several years of wearing a jacket

Aaah, the good old "my jacket stands on it's own" flex
So much depends on how much time do you spend to shape and place it just right so that it stands.
But, as you can see from my profile picture... Yes, yes it does.

Very true! You can see that the Chopper I posted above was already slouching its way into a fall when I took the photo. Some of them have real staying power, though, when that LW was new, it could stand on its own for hours at a time.

The base pattern is their DEL-66 half belt. I just added the Peters fan back and four pockets front. The leather is Horween horsehide I found, very thick, sold to me as 4 to 5oz thickness, and I ended up overdying it seal brown. I commissioned this jacket when I was really into the four pocket front design but now I am thinking of updating the front panels to something more vintage looking maybe like the 40s corded multi panels front.

I still have some extra leathers left and thought of updating the front to this,

I think it would match the fan back better than the four pockets front.

Personally, I don't care if they stand or not... what matters more is that it fits well lol

Anyhow LW family still standing up
L-R: Ryder (2.5-3oz), Lee 101 (5oz) , Canvas J23 (lol), Appalachian (3.5-4oz)

From my experience, thick leather and many seams don't go well together, super stiff and resistant to break-in. I'd rather get a design like this in Johnsons goat or bison leather or you could ask them for a sample of their redwood bison. The shade of brown differs from batch to batch, but all three samples I have seen looked fantastic and would go well with a jacket design like this.
