What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[JCSD]

worn Chelsea boots for the last 2 days and it's so easy and I'd imagine an engineer will be the same. What engr boot are you possibly going to go for?



Thank you! Love this shade of brown, lucky I was able to order one from this hide before FL stopped offering it! Cheers

Was thinking of starting with a pair of Wesco Mister Lou before moving into one of the Asian makers.

A halfbelt with piping front and some ornaments that I made last year.

Back to your regularly scheduled programming. Aero Trucker. Spent some time working the stiffer sections, but it’s gonna take some time to get there

Same here, waiting for an interesting hide to be offered at standard and strange then maybe get one from Indonesia or Japan. I'll get a black and brown one this year.

Blue cow tumbled soft sofa leather looks a lot more natural after 2 yrs and a wash - wear to dry and 30days challenge some months ago. The only cow hide i have that ever drapes from my own wearing.

I tried on a few different brands at Standard and Strange, and the Lofgrens really stood out.

Is that because of build quality or material used? Or maybe fit/feel on your feet?

They do look well made and the price reflects it lol

All of the above. They’re out of my league, but they were much nicer! The Redwings and Wescos definitely feel like “boots”. The Lofgrens were more like shoes in the form of boots (if that makes sense).
They are even better than the MF Road Champs that I tried on, although if you like the look the MF are very nice too, the footbed could use cushion IMO.

That's great to know, the price is steep but guess you get what you pay for at the end so that's fair. I think I know what you mean with that, probably easier to wear and kinder on your feet to wear that particular boot.

Are MF boots made here or are they also made in Japan?

I think all boots need a cushion anyways lol it's always a welcome relief to wear sneakers after wearing a pair of boots all day

I thought MF were made by Julian, but that might have changed. Others know much more about the brand than I do.

With all my love for sturdy leather jackets, this is what I am wearing most days

Keep doing the good work my friend! 2nd step kicked my butt but not as bad as the first one. Hope all is well, keep safe.

Got it, I don't know much about the brand but I think the owner is French who lives in SoCal? Anyways he makes cool stuff, expensive but cool lol

 

[handymike]

There is a store here in LA, but the prices are indeed high. He has quite a following though, and his stuff looks great.

@handymike i just looked the mf road champs and it's out of stock so that's a good sign that people do like them. It's about the same price range as the john lofgrens.

I'm sure he has quite a following, classic Americana with great social media presence and what looks like high quality items. Hope something turns up in the classifieds haha

A "high street" jacket I got over 10 years ago. A little long in the arms.
