What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

It’s going back up into the 90’s this week. Puke. I’m done with it. I have been polishing up my jackets though and getting them into the on deck circle.probably at least a month out. I know I’ve said it before but this vintage Herc...I honestly think it might be the nicest jacket I’ve ever owned. I’m not crazy about the patch pockets and I think I’ll wear others more than this one but man this leather is just exactly what I think of when I picture a beautiful piece of HH. Thick, soft and insane in the grain.

Dena has the HWM. I’m having the belts moved up close to 3”. I mocked it up with some internal clips. I think it will vastly improve the overall shape.

Somehow I only have one black leather jacket in my closet. I’ll need to fix that.
I don’t understand how every jacket you wear looks so good on you?

Aero Chips. The midnight blue CXL is quite nice. No way I’m taking a selfie in this location. Just taking a pic of the jacket leads to WTF comments. Heading out for a long, solitary ride through the Everglades.

Ton, you know what to do with that jacket. You should just sell it again.

Nat veg tan cow, i can see more back creases potential on it . Tanned and with some sheen , seems save enough to finish my noodle soup lunch in it.

perhaps the secret of how old jacket showing grains allover is how the pockets on the jacket were fully utilized by the wearers, I honestly rarely use my outer pockets.

Same Aero label on my late 80s Aero Connolly patrolman jacket

There was a small amount of concern that Aero would not use this label on my jacket because of the modifications I asked to be done to the jacket. I’m very happy it’s there.
