What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[JMax]

That got broken in quickly!

One long day of hard riding. Usually enough to beat the stiffness out of LWs recent stuff.

Schott 441PP collared café racer today. This has the zip out faux fleece liner. A warm jacket. Necessary today 4C minimum. Only a max of 16 the sunshine would belie that !
Taken at the Fremantle wharf a dozen of us pulled up for the hand warming coffee (and Foccacia !) stop.

Watching my kids play while wearing this vintage Swedish goat. My wife hates this jacket, she says I’m “too young to wear that old grandpa jacket”. I like it a lot but I’d probably wear it more often if it weren’t for that.

I very respectfully disagree with your better half...
If she was referring to a half-belt, I would understand.
But this jacket has a fairly modern cut.

I would get the exact same comment whenever I'd wear a regular jackets like that. I met my previous gf just when I got my second HWM and not a month later, when I replaced it because it was too big, she asked me what happened with the grandpa jacket.

It’s not like they don’t have a point. You could argue the whole vintage thing is about appropriating a grandpa look.

Problem is, I don’t think she’s entirely wrong. I think it’s the length. Most of my other jackets are a lot shorter than this one. Short jackets imo give off more of a punk/rock vibe. I seldom see other people wearing leather outside this forum. When I do it’s almost always metal heads or punks wearing cross zips or old guys wearing old jackets just like mine.

Edit: forgot to mention the guys wearing cafe racers from Zara

That looks like the same kind of goatskin used on the riders jacket you bought for me.
It has a really nice weight and feel, vintage swedish goatskin is awesome!

It is very similar to your jacket. Heavy and substantial yet supple and easy wearing. But the leather on your jacket is half a tier above this one imo, nicest goat I’ve ever seen.

I think the fit of that jacket is excellent and looks great on you. One of your best looking IMO.

I personally think it looks great on you! Like the true vtg CR. Dimensions are just right.

99 here in Pasadena. The neighbors are lucky that I'm wearing any clothes at all, let alone a leather jacket!!

if you wear black jeans and unzip the bottom zipper up a bit, it looks young instantly... or at least retired rockstar grandpa

Actually cool enough for a jacket today, for a short while anyway.
