I cut my ridiculous collection of Sherpa jackets down to this sole survivor. Levi’s dark indigo Sherpa. My only jacket to ever actually make the 30 day challenge. I have to force myself not to wear it. 3 incoming jackets that won’t see 1/2 the wear. I know it’s not exciting. It is what it is.

*Posting b/c I’m long overdue for a bathroom selfie.

Vanson. Chasing the little man again. Loves his scooter, thinks he’s super Mario.

Also got a photo of local iguana.

That vest would never make me look for another. Where did you get that, again?

Best jackets ever made, ever. Levi's indigo sherpa is what it all comes down to, in the end. Wearing mine today at work, though I actually try to wear the LW as much as possible. And when you find that perfect Lee SR, you're done.

I called Vanson and they built it. Based off Thunderbird pattern, then spec’d out. Octagon/X150, gun pockets, shape and size of D pocket, leather lined pockets, tiger pattern lining, hidden snaps, etc.

New Iron heart deck jacket. I just find my Pike Bros N-1 so damn wearable I wanted another. Only had it for an hour.
Initial impression as compared to PB and a briefly owned RMC (a little snug)
Alpaca is super soft. Zero itch factor. Better than pike, about the same as rmc. Unfortunately unlike the pb and rmc there is no alpaca in the sleeves. Quilted instead. Wondering bow this will affect warmth and durability.
Cut. Slimmer than pike, particularly in the arms. Thats a plus. Proportions better than RMC which just seemed made for...I don’t know, a different body which doesnt happen to me often. I’m sorta an off the rack build.
Adjustments. Big chunky two way zipper. Seems in keeping with their motorcycle apparel theme. No opinion on this either way. Waist adjustments: PB and RMC have a draw string in keeping with the original design. IH has a tab and button like a type III. Edge to PB and RMC. It is a better fit for me and better for keeping the wind out at the tighter of the two buttons. This leaves a bit of material bunching. We’ll see how this plays out in time. Has same tabs on cuffs. This is just silly. No one could possibly set to tighter button and wear it. Strictly for show.
Supposed to be 2f tomorrow. May need to wear it in the recliner.
