What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Jin431]

Not really "wearing" today as it´s become unpleasantly hot and humid:

The (in-)famous Mulholland. Could perhaps squeeze into a smaller size, but would probably end up with rather short sleeves and body-lenght. The zipper is a piece of work...

Wow, that's so good @Tom71 and it looks great with just a shirt underneath but atleast you can wear a jumper/hoodie for the cold season. I got to say maybe it's just one of those patterns that works well with most body shapes/height. You can also appreciate how good the range of motion on this is, those underarm gussets are so good.

Hmmm for the zippers just be mindful to insert the pin all the way down the retainer box when you zip it up. Also try not to tug on the zipper pull near the bottom end when you disconnect the male/female sides. I run my thumb down the slider to dislodge the pin from the retainer box instead. Congratulations on this!

Thanks much! I have to admit that I didn´t find the time yet to get used to the jacket. It´s just been too warm since I got it earlier this week. I believe it´s a fine 3-season-jacket, but the lining seems pretty warm, so for summer I will probably have some other grab-and-goes...

Zipper: Included with the jacket was a little "manual" on how to use with a lot of red ink and "caution" written all over it. I have always had issues with the strict interpretation of "authenticity" over "functionality". The zipper is a challenge but so far not as bad as the Hookless I had on one of my Aero´s...

That really looks incredibly badass. Makes me want to put those sowing lines from the pockets on my Schott.

I like the midweight flannel lining on this, it's comfy and not too warm but it can color bleed a little when wet.

It feels like it's a size 8 so it's easier to use than the #5 hookless Aero uses and definitely feels more secure. Can you possibly share the manual/illustrations that came with the jacket? Thanks

I really like the part with "Please don´t rush. Please calm down."

I wish somebody had given me that advice when I was in my late teens. I would have been so much more sucessful in dating...

Thanks you! Echoing what @Superfluous already said: In the beginning, I found the stitching too busy, silly even. When it started to grow on me it grew big!

So many cool details on this jacket. The collar, the stitching, the bottom hem. Soooo cool.

That's so true on the ball & chain pull on the pockets, it's nice to look at but fragile. The pull on the chest pocket on mine is already broken.

Wisdom huh lol

Ran home at lunch to grab my new Langlitz that arrived today. Snapped a quick pic. Rode my bike back to work its a little hot for this leather today. 3rd time is a charm best fitting columbia yet. Standard columbia in medium cow. Police round badge holder (match my FLHTP cop bike). Hidden collar snaps.

Hilarious!! Zipper instructions!
Reminds me of the detailed instructions and demonstration in Marine Corps boot camp of how to wipe your a** with 1 square of toilet paper.(incase of a TP shortage). Good prep for pandemicacemia.

Our Chicago brick home used to be the same; a few years ago we needed the roof redone & chose light grey shingles with higher solar reflectivity, made an immense difference in the summers since!

Yeah the next couple days are going to be brutal. I can’t even look at my jackets without feeling nauseous. Plus side though I finally took your advice and picked a Goorin bros flat cap. Lightweight cotton, perfect for keeping the fire God off my dome.

This is actually the best advice one can offer with a hookless. Personally, I never had problems but I know many folks have. It’s important to be mindful with the hookless. Seat the pin. ALWAYS seat the pin!

Hillarious, they should draw the zipper as cartoon character, i like how in product manual they draw rice cooker, toaster, etc as cartoon character. But probably it is a lot more effective if the whole manual is just a QR code you can read with your phone and auto translate to english and your local language.

@Tom71 looks like a great fit! The Mulholland is a modern classic. No doubt about it.
