The short jacket thread

[zebedee]

YES it does - and I gave it absolutely NO artificial processing. Just wear it and enjoy it.

Is that Seal jerky HH? The brown one wearing through to orange?

That guy is a 40s Sportclad, horsehide.

What is this? Californian? Wow.

"Sorry Officer forgot my driver's license...!"
I would join the Police only to get this jacket.
Could be a modified Windward pattern.

that is an interesting Police Jacket from Minnesota. I will do a thread on that one, I think that one can still stand on its' own.

You really wear those jackets well. Do you own or wear other leathers? I don't recall.

The Brent jacket you ask about is 23 back/front 26. I have not measured the front of a jacket. I believe I got it correct. Another fav to wear and not worth selling!

The Winward is the classic short style jacket. I've owned three variants, none of them were the correct size. The older ones turn up, hopefull I will get the right size. Based on the numbers of those I have seen it was a very popular jacket. I've had two 50s in the same style with other labels.

It remains a handsome jacket today.

This is the one I sold to @AbbaDatDeHat size 40 I was squeezing into.

I just read your PM and I'll get back to you!

I'm a huge fan of the short jacket and high waisted trousers. I just love the look and it's a look that I love rocking around.

For original jackets worn today just check Wilhelm's feed: https://www.instagram.com/wilhelmzeppelin/

These european jackets were short! No problem with high waisted trousers but not wearable with a low or regular rise.

For reference I'm 179cm aprox 5' 11" . A german example of mine that is 22" but because it's worn blousy fits more like a 20-21" back:

You also do well wearing those short jackets. I don't recall seeing that Wool Monarch, very nice. What size do you wear?

I always pictured you in this jacket. The only Black vintage Windward style jacket I have seen. I don't recall where that jacket went.

Agreed. You’re cheat’n TM. Those all look great.

YES! - It's Jerky SEAL brown midweight Horsehide - in real daylight it doesn't shine orange it's more of a nice reddish tone which is great and give it a lot of character!

Thank you- you have enabled my next purchase. I hope someone buys the SB and the LHB I put on the Classifieds (prices, incidentally, have dropped).

Thanks - After several trial and errors with different pattern I carry only with just the 50th Windward style pattern. I catch myself thinking about some modifications here and there, so your posts/pics are always very interesting and exiting for me. The 46" Size from AERO with slightly longer Body is obvisously made exactly for me.

Here's one older Aero style. Think its named "Hollywood" which I beleive it's a forgotten style ... Could be a "Brother" of the Windward Jacket. Any thoughts ? Anybody has one?

The looks remarkably like the Route 66 with added chest pockets; according to Aero, the Route 66 is the same pattern as their Grizzly, but without the fur panels.

Thanks - I thought that the Trailrider is their Grizzly without fur...

Too pretty for B&W

Wow! What a beautiful jacket! And man that collar is sexy. I wish I could find that RMC jacket that has the same collar in my size

This reminds me a lot of the Aero Bootlegger, but with different pockets. I like it a lot; I find my Bootlegger is about the most versatile of all my leathers.

Quite right, I misremembered. It looks like a Trailrider with added chest pockets and zip instead of button cuffs.
