What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[HoosierDaddy]

Vanson 'Enfield' early this morning....

I dug out my old black levis from my highschool days probably 1994, i wore it 3 size too big in baggy 90s way, started as pure black too, it is a real vintage fade in my highschool days I cycle with friends so was pretty much 1 wash/ wear, I think this nubuck chelsea finally looks dirty enough to match it.

was retailored recently using my stretch skinny jeans as model (stupid me) ... so I busted the knee after few squats, denim is apparently thin, how light is levis denim 11oz??

Great jacket, perfect outfit!

Thanks Marc! Sometimes I make an effort to actually match my clothes and sometimes it actually looks pretty good

I’m not seeing it. Please explain

See how the top of the map pocket flap is integrated into the D pocket? That's how it was done on the original buco j24.

coin pocket?, I always thought map pocket is the vertical zip

I'm probably mistaken. I mean the small pocket on top of the D pocket. So that's the coin pocket? I learn something new every day

I feel like the Enfield and 689 are cousins. I was interested in 689 but had to pass because the quilted lining would really limit use here.

Yours is great by the way, and wearing it all the time makes total sense!

Interesting detail! Just looked at my photos and Aero and FL use a patch pocket style for the coin pocket, but my only remaining Schott perfecto is just like the Buco where the coin pocket flap tugs into the body before it gets sewned. I wonder if this was an American technique. But it actually looks more finished even with the raw edge slit. Nice detail. Give the nicer leather a chance to show off its cross sections. Respect.

Likley one of the last days we can wear jackets here in the midwest. Getting humid, will be mid 80's by the weekend and near 100% humidity. Lots of rain to boot. Had the heat on last weekend in the house. That's how our weather goes.

Suprisingly nice Johnson Leather from Tony, originally planned for a friend but it fits me much better than expected. This jacket has hung in a closet all it's life, barely ever used. Little musty of smell but that will clear with use. I like the subtle black accents and dull brass zips.

^ One of your best fitting jackets @AeroFan_07

Mmm... it depends what j24 version. I think the Real McCoy’s got it right.

Regular j-24

Long version j24L (see snap)

Good observation. The tucked-in flap indeed only seems to come with the long version.

Like most of the days in the past.
With the weather here you get a lot of chances to wear a jacket. Sorry for the quality of the pic.
Cheers!

Today it’s a 1979 Avirex G-1 (currently my favorite go-to, daily wear jacket). Back in those days Avirex was just about the only one making repro flight jackets and they were very good quality. This jacket has superb grainy, thick seal brown goatskin which is an exact match to the goatskin on my original Willis & Geiger M-422a.
Has a Scovill brass zipper and a real mouton fur collar. I’ve added new purple/brown knits and now she looks just like a vintage Korean War era G-1 (I just re-watched “The Bridges at Toko-Ri” and this jacket looks very much like the one worn by William Holden, except without the squadron patches).

This looks right on you. I like your other cross zips (especially that awesome cordovan j106) but it seemed to me that you look like you were a little uncomfortable in some photos wearing them
