What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Pandemic]

I hear you & feel the same about catching the damn thing now but hasn't it been established that masks don't protect against jack but rather are only suppose to stop you from spreading the disease?

I just feel it's the sort of lottery right now. . .

I try not to talk work here, but I’ll just do so this one time: a cloth mask does a lot more than jack for personal protection (in addition to reducing asymptomatic spread in those infected):

Same here. At least tonight seems a bit cooler than the last few days. It was literally 30 Celsius yesterday during midnight. Insane.

Do you want to swap?

Huh! Good to know. Our government's approach to the pandemic was along the words of "Wear a mask, save others" while making it clear early on that they have no evidence of masks actually protecting the wearer. It was around that time that I've stopped paying attention to it altogether and just did what they told me to do.

I think in your country covid is not as rampant and thus your govt policy is not as tight, you have +11 case today, while I live in the world's 4th most populous country and probably the lowest in economy level by far compared to the other 3 on top (China, India, USA) so we have far less fighting ability when things get out of hand especially for the elderly and people living in smaller cities, we also lack in testing and vaccination effort since while the other 3 most populous countries make their own vaccine, we have to import them and being archipelagic nation the logistics is much harder, although the natural water barrier is better to localize virus spread rate over the country until such event like muslim holiday where millions who work in java jumped on a ferry to spend a week long holiday with their relatives at their home island spreading the virus along to those less developed islands.

For the past year I’ve come to TFL to avoid thinking about Covid for a while.

Probably the best black leather I've ever seen. Substance, grain and sheen. Amazing!

And since I am doing awkward photos in the driveway I might as well bask in the FL for a couple of minutes. @JCSD ’s self portraits always inspire me to do a better job of photographing my jackets … but then I run outside and get all self conscious in case the neighbors are watching and get it done in sixty seconds or less, lol.

Thanks. I dig it. Tagged a 40 but fits closer to a 44. Typical of certain Aero offerings, like this one and the Highwayman. On this one I did the taper to a size smaller. Through TB.

Vintage Bates, just arrived from one of ours, @handymike (Thanks man, it was a smooth transaction).

Fit perfectly, that collar is so large, lol. Used to have a couple of shirts from the '70s, now I need to scavenge some vintage shirts to get that vibe back.

 

[handymike]

It looks so great on you!
Spread that collar out a little, and you'll be Super-Fly.

LOL, I was planning to go cut my shoulder length hair this weekend (no haircut since the first covid lockdown), maybe I need to keep the hair to match the style

California Sportswear Co. made an amazing array of Leather Sportswear. All of it the highest quality. I understand the significance todays makers pay to the label. There is another of these jackets for sale here, or was. I wore that jacket tonight. Picked it from the pile. Warm it up and you can smell the old time Horsehide.

the jacket did not come in this box

Fivestar Dubow. Extremely comfortable.
