What do you wear under your jacket?

[Schambach]

The River Driver henleys from LL Bean have been working for me when worn under leather jackets with quilted linings at 0 C (32F). I don't think they would have worked if the jackets had regular nylon linings, but with quilted linings they kept me warm as the only underlayer.

Thanks for the follow up, I was curious about that. Are they bulky at all?

It's chill in the English shires at the moment but I don't want to go full winter yet, so..

Thermal, denim shirt (with collar) wool waistcoat and 654 CR (a collar and CR work for Terry in his Brooks Gold vid and they work for me too).

Recently joined by a Shemagh post throat surgery.

Just ordered a C2 sweater. Hoping that fits nicely and extends leather season.

@Schambach - No, not bulky. Thicker than your regular henley, sure, but not as bulky as a sweatshirt, for example. Somewhere in the middle, closer to a regular henley than to a sweatshirt.

Next spring/summer...

And something seasonal to be worn above the jacket, for some nice mulled wine or mead with a heavy shot of rum on a Christmas market...

A down filled, pullover, hoodie. It's like a combination between a hoodie, and down jacket.

Arrived. Very satisfied with the product for the price. Size chart is accurate.

From whom did you order the C2? Bronson?

 

[Bfd70]

Guess i missed that part. Yes, Bronson. Shirts all fit well. Denim sizing a little wonky

Some time Don't wear any thing.....

Currently underneath the jacket I'm mostly in either a pair of Dickies 874s or my Wrangler 13MWZ, and a long-sleeve SJC polo, today with RW Iron Rangers. Fairly standard WFH clothing for me. Add a different shirt or tie plus a Collectif cardigan or a sleeveless V neck sweater for the odd day when I need to go into work. I was doing two and a half days a week in the office until Omicron hit; now I'm back to only going in when I need to teach. We have a January intake this year, so next week is going to be a round of induction for them and graduation ceremonies for the last two years' cohorts. Assuming the diet has worked its magic, I'll be in my kilt next week.

Since it's still mostly home office, hardly a day goes by that I don't have my favorite functional shirts on.

Yeah, sometimes when I just need to get my s@#t together and get out of the house it's grab and go. These are the days when I don't bother with socks either. Here's a cheeky "Cleavage shot".

denim jacket

I rode my first bike for years, wearing a t-shirt, Lee Riders jean jacket and a snap up trucker style leather jacket. It looked great, but unfortunately denim isn’t very warm, and a snap up jacket lets in a LOT of wind! So I spent a good portion of that time cold. But, hey, live and learn!

These days, it’s either just a t shirt, or a t with a hoodie under my leathers—and I have a down filled hoodie for when the temperature really dips.

This is my Schott 141 with the down filled hoodie.

When did the denim jacket under a leather jacket trend begin?
I’m curious, is it an IG thing?

I grew up wearing jean jackets in the 70’s, so it was just a natural progression for me to add a leather jacket over the denim to act as insulation.

The 50’s? Earlier, perhaps? I’m not really sure when denim became popular in the fashion realm, but manual workers have been wearing it forever.

Bikers tend to layer what ever they own, and denim and leather just seem to go hand in hand.

I've often seen the combo worn by the working class here back during the 90's and early 2K's but then people began dressing "better". It is a very convenient jacket to be worn under a leather jacket, as you can keep wearing it as a shirt or sth, whatever the situation.
