What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Monitor]

You know your incoming Schott is not a medium right? You'd better have a 2nd plate at Christmas dinner

That's for layering! I wouldn't want it skintight, that one.

Aero STF Bootlegger Tobacco Badalassi, had to take photos before all the leaves fall off

 

[JMax]

I don’t mess around with my boots. Haha
My wife hates these but they make me happy so I don’t care. Plus it’s gloomy and I need some color in my day.

My wife is not on board with most of what I do. It’s all good, I think she loves me in spite of my BS.

@Jin431 Looks Great on you! I love Badalassi, especially the tobacco one!!

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Nice jacket. Perfect fit Jin.

Thanks @Robbie79. I saw your two toned badalassi thread before I pulled the trigger and that looked so cool. I hope you still have it because that looks great on you. Yes, I love the tobacco badalassi so much I bought boots just to go with it lol. I know you've had quite a few badalassi jackets, does the squeaking ever go away?

Nice jacket. Perfect fit Jin.

Thanks @HoosierDaddy. I appreciate it. I'm actually debating myself if I would have JL tighten the fit (and add a removable mutton collar). The actual jacket measurements are off from what TB quoted me, it feels one size larger.

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Man I think it looks outstanding as is, but I'm looking at a photo. You are wearing it.

Thanks, I do think so too. The leather is beautiful, if I wear enough layers then it feels alright. My size is like a large 36 and the jacket measurements are:
P2p is 21.75"
Waist/he, is almost 19.5"

A little loose if I'm just wearing a shirt which most of the time I am.

Incredibly good fit. Perfect, I'd say. I wouldn't do anything to this jacket. Aero jackets always fit great but this is exceptional.

Thank you @Monitor. Man, that's 2 TFL regulars saying don't mess with it. Best believe I should listen. Looks like I'll just have the mutton collar added

Your Bootlegger looks great in pics but only you know if it “feels” right on. Gotta say, though, you’ve been knocking out of the park on fit with the Field and your JL. Not an easy task if you ask me (and the dozen jackets that have come and gone in the process).

 

[Vaquero357]

Are there better or more aesthetically pleasing cross zips out there? Likely, yes. Perhaps. But yeah, for me this Schott perfecto nails it.

...amen to that brother!

...Schott 118 Perfecto!

My Schott retro '30s style MC jacket that they don't make anymore...

 

[Downunder G Man]

That looks to fit fine Hoosier. "Off the rack" I presume being Schott ? Perhaps made for HD ? (The MOCO that is !)

You need to take into a big pile and jump into it!

Thank you @JCSD. The front looks good zipped up but when it's unzipped it feels a little out of place. Maybe you felt the same way when you had your Elmc trimmed down. I'll go to JL after the holidays to pick up my cxl jacket that they are slimming down, I'll have them assess the fit and see what they recommend. I may want to slim this jacket just so I can also wear it unzipped plus I want the detachable mutton collar added.

Again thank you for the kind words. The FL and JL are definitely my best fitting jacket and I'm so happy they turned out the way they did. I hear you, gotta thin the herd too and clear space and to maybe fund a Thedi

You need to take into a big pile and jump into it!

that would be so fun to do! I don't like raking the leaves but that I would do with no problems at all lol

@HoosierDaddy Did this jacket make the cut when you cut down the numbers on your leather outerwear?

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Yes Jin I used this as one of my MC riding jackets. It is an unusual rare Schott so I couldn't get rid of it.

 

[HoosierDaddy]

No it was made by Schott for their now defunct 'Retro' line. I purchased it in 2004.

Reason I ask is back in the 90's until the early/mid 2000's the "genuine HD" jackets from the dealer were all
" MADE IN THE USA" although the actual maker was never obvious. Since then most all Pakistan/Vietnam wherever.

One of my riding mates here , one of the Vietnam Vets , has a jacket so "similar" to this of yours bar it is a straight zipper collared jacket. From 2002 when he got the first V-Rod into Western Australia. ( he still has that bike today, it's the one in many of my photos)
