Another goat skin jacket, today it’s this vintage (50’s or 60’s probably) Swedish work wear. I wear this so rarely I almost forget how nice it is. I think this is the first time I’ve worn this in over a year. I think I’ll start using this as an argument against buying any new ones “dude, you hardly ever wear the brown vintage goat jacket and that’s super nice, why do you think you need ANOTHER jacket?”
Might work. For a while.

It probably won’t work... :p
but, hey! That’s an awesome jacket! You should definitely wear it more often! :)

You’re right it probably won’t work. Just five minutes after posting this I almost put in a bid for a vintage barnstormer type jacket, old Swedish goatskin. “They’re so nice, I should have more of them!”

I should find a way to get this jacket into my rotation more often.

@torfjord I agree with @Fonzie that you should wear it more often as it looks good on you and you rarely see these kinds of jackets, at least I've never seen one wearing that kind of jacket.

A little while ago I accidentally posted this photo in the thread about the Aero sandstone jacket carving. Wanted to post it here and I assure you that this is the real me!
This jacket was made from the newer comp weight leather and it’s just beginning to show some nice grain on the lapel. I know there’s not been a lot of love for this particular hide around here but I think in time it will be something special.

Interesting how much brown is in the Thedi gray. I know light plays a factor. It does seem to have quite a bit of brown in it. When I think of the gray jackets I’ve had they always had much more of a silver bend to them. Personally I like the brown bend better.
