It was cool enough yesterday morning and this morning to wear the Wested Raiders in goatskin I bought just before Christmas last year. But in the afternoons it's too warm to need anything but a shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and a hat, of course.

Today it's my D-Pocket from Pegasus

 

[A-1]

Getting a riri 8 zipper from Munich. Incredible to get them in northern Germany.
Will have my shoe cobbler to build it in. He said he can do it. There is a woman in Munich who does this stuff often but it's 140€!
My cobbler said it's 40€.
Today it's my merino wool made in Germany troyer and my vest. So, no jacket today.

Much sadness.

140 Euros for a zipper replacement is incredibly expensive. I've had it done for like 30, zipper included and it was so well made, you couldn't tell the jacket's been messed with. But go with what seems like a best option. The jacket deserves it and so do you.

Snow!!! I remember when we used to have winter in Chicago.

The snow is gone here too. Only lasted for 2 days this time.

The jacket I still wear most often in three seasons is my old Key Imperial work jacket.

Judging by the lapels I figure it's from the 1970s. I love it.

Looks more green and less olive drab in real life...

That's very cool, Lina - does anyone make something like this today? Apart from Dickies and Carhartt. Is it a poly cotton twill?

Really cool! If only I could find something like that... Wouldn't be so dead set on leather, perhaps.

Dickies and Red Kap seem to be the closest. But without the details, like the zipper or the halfbelt.

Good Wear Imperial (check out the wrinkling sleeves -- any more wrinkles and I might have to replace it with a new one -- j/k):

@ton312 Pose (I need to workout):

 

[BobJ]

Yep, those sleeve wrinkles are just about getting to be too much to bear. And you might want to think about some HWT to get the collars flat and straight again, sheesh.

To get the Ton pose down, you have to unbutton the cuffs. I wouldn't want to get clobbered with that right fist of yours though!

I'd wear that everyday! I've been looking for something like this to wear instead of leather but that still retains exactly those types of design elements. Awesome.

My new apron for the corn harvest. Comfy as hell, my go-to "jacket" til my J-21 is fixed:

How in God's name could you have stood there right next to all those Kensingtons and not grab one. . ?
