Aero Hooch Hauler this afternoon. Almost looks too long paired with the Wrangler cowboy fit jeans, but that’s just because they are gloriously high waisted.
I got to say, if you like jacket weather, Sweden is the gift that just keeps on giving. 2 Celsius this morning and I had to bring out the alpaca lined B-10. Much warmer 8 C this afternoon, proper spring temperatures.

Thanks Tom. Jacket is a size 40 (I am a 39" chest) and I could wear a thin insulator vest, sweater or a thick denim or flannel shirt and be fine. Movement is good with no restrictions. A 38 would have been too tight on me.

Thanks. Now I am even more happy for you, as it’s way too small for me...

Someone has to tell you, so you don’t do something foolish: That PHWM looks and fits absolutely great. In fact, the way the FQHH drapes is exactly the reason why the Horween CXL stuff is top of the foodchain!

Sorry, BFD, that didn’t go against you...;)

It's the name @jpk_NJ gave to it, I'm sure, in honor of his home state. I don't think it's an official name that Aero would recognize. I do like the pocket design better than the standard Aero Teamster jacket.
New Jersey Teamster is like any other Teamster, but more corrupt. ;)

New to me Hein Gericke jacket that @Monitor had posted in the Finds and Deals thread. The jacket has little to no wear, the leather is soft and thick, but it had an extremely strong smell mix of damp and some kind of fragrance. I emailed the seller to ask what the smell was so I could work on getting rid of it and he told me that he "he doesn't have a sense of smell but his wife had mentioned it was a bit musty smelling so he'd aired it out for a few days". I think his wife might have had it packed with dryer sheets for a while too. I've treated it with an ozone generator for around 80 minutes and aired it out for a few days and the smell is bearable if not completely gone. I'll continue airing it out as much as possible to hopefully erase that smell permanently during the Summer. Overall the jacket is great quality and fits and looks amazing so I'll go through the work necessary to wear it.

Lost Worlds Rigger, brand new, fresh out of the box. 4oz Horsehide. To commemorate 30 years as a ferryboat captain, I wanted to treat myself so I ordered this Rigger (I’ve been eyeballing this model on the LW website for afew years now).
I’ll do a full review soon (in a separate thread). Just wanted to get a quick pic on day 1 (late afternoon lighting, and it just started to rain, when my wife took this pic).
Awesome jacket, great fit and flawless construction.

Very nice Thor!
I’m so used to seeing you in one of your many G-1s but that is a great alternative you have right there.
Congratulations on your anniversary as a captain as well!

I've been eyeing that jacket too, I'd be hard pressed to decide between the Jersey collar or that one! Yours looks great.
