What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[ton312]

I still see the pics of the jacket hanging on your porch in your add, and to this day i regret not buying it as soon as it hit the classifieds!
The olive lining kept me away, i was a fool...

It’s actually brown corduroy! The stitching is OD.

I accept. LOL. But don’t pity too much...I sold it twice
And bought it twice

Yeah, i meant olive stitching not lining.
It looks great broken in and i would have quickly forgotten about the OD stitching.

^^ All too Funny, as I owned that jacket in between Tony's first & second insallments of ownership.

It was a real challenge for me to wear - it was a serious 10+ lbs of leather & cordoroy (the lining adds to the weight being cordoroy.) As many know who wear "traditional" White's boots, they can easily get to 8+ lbs as well, this adds a lot of mass onto your frame. While I enjoyed the jacket, I just found myself not wearing it as much as I like. Then it got damaged in my move, which Tony did a good job of resolving. It's heavy CX Steer, but not Lost Worlds 4+ Oz horsehide...

So the hottest jacket breaking method is mountain biking.

Randy i always thought this was a cool ass jacket. Did the corduroy make it super hot? I have corduroy at the bottom hem of a jacket and its comfortable, supposed to protect against the belt ,wallet rubbing holes. I see this feature on a lot of vintage jackets. Cordovan is an awesome option i had one an let it go and now miss it. I definitely want another. I love this conf. But also am intrigued by the bootlegger with some mods. I think tony should have kept the bootlegger v2.0 imho, thats bad ass. Hard to follow.

I’ve been slack in posting. Here’s one from a few days ago. UGNYC x Vanson V7 jacket in oxblood leather, complete with d3o armor pads

Is this in the “soft steer”?
Looks great!

 

[2wheelgrplr]

... and today ... UGNYC x Vanson Robinson waxed cotton jacket with d3o armor pads inside. This is basically an upgunned, more feature-laden, armored version of Vanson’s super popular Stormer wax cotton jacket.

Thanks! Yes, it’s the standard black steerhide they use for the 59’er highwayman. I really should post some detail pics some day. It’s a lovely leather. Soft and supple, with lots of grain.

But it also seems to develop arm creases...does it show any wear areas? Or is it black/ black?

Found my old 40R Cooper when I was doing the spring cleaning. Short and supple.

It does show some arm creases, but because the leather is more soft than stiff, they sort of smooth out when you stretch your arms and fold up when you bend them.

It is dyed black all the way through so no wear areas. I included a close up of the arm creases and two detail shots of the back.

Today the jacket that has been with me for 20 years now. Austrian motorcycle police jacket from the 70's or early 80's. I still love this jacket although it's tight now. Also have a newer one but it' not as cool, different leather and no hooks for the gun
