What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[JCSD]

This is the Duke right? Why move it along? I think it's a great looking jacket and you wear it well.

The Duke is actually the 370 Model. Looks similar but the 370 is an oiled suede with unlined sleeves. The 375 has that interesting rough out texture that I prefer.

I really like it but have bigger fish to fry that have been on my hit list for a while. As I tell my kids, we can’t have everything.

Thank you! It's actually the first jacket in a while which I don't have any doubts about keeping. I usually tend to wear them heavily for months so I hope it will only get better, specially when the sun is out. Most days is just cloudy and rainy lately.

No doubt! From the color/fit/construction alone is already a strong indication of how this is such a great acquisition. Congrats, the gamble paid of handsomely.

Is it because it's a little too long in the body? That's what I noticed with Schott jackets

Best way to break in a jacket? By shoveling snow of course!

After sun baking it yesterday the whole day, i think it get more uniform tan in color now and easier color to wear with dark jeans than the peach tone before.

I do find the length to be longer than I’d prefer but I still think it wears well.

True, a slightly longer jacket is also good especially when you normally don't tuck shirts in. Tucking shirts is something I'm not used to yet as it feels very formal to me.

It's a few years' old, but I have too many jackets that it doesn't get the wear it deserves! I'll try to get some more fit pics this weekend.

Here's some more pics of the jacket Dave posted on eBay:

Oh, just a little Chrome Hearts something. Nothing from TFL's little league. Y'know, none of that budget stuff like Aero, LW, FCL, etc. Stuff you can get on AliExpress or wherever you guys buy your leather jackets.

You seriously don't want to know.

I'd like to see it too!

Hahaha it looks pretty normal from the front, just a leather vest. But anyway, this is what I had spent most of the day wearing and I gotta say, I absolutely LOVE this jacket!
