What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[handymike]

I was a little worried, but it all worked out well.

 

[TLW '90]

Went with the TLW Illinois PD after work today, it's been a couple weeks since I've worn it.
Mostly been wearing the wool or the vintage Fidelity Cafe I've been liking so much since I got it, I don't currently have that many jackets so I don't post them every day.


It's been cold wet and windy today, and after a work day that started with working outside in the rain at 3:00am I needed a warm cozy stout jacket that really hugs me.

60s Windward in what I think is some kind of lambskin arrived. Huge pit to pit, and pretty darn short for me, but the sleeves are nice and long. I haven't fond a Vintage that fits perfectly although the Monarch Long Half Belt is pretty damn close, only because the sleeves were expertly lengthened. The Windward is indeed light, weighing in just under 3 pounds. More silliness me wearing leather jackets on a tropical island, and still having fun. Thanks T.

Wearing the Schott 613SH again, though I switched to a Buzz Rickson's L-2 for a couple of hours.

Right up there with all those Goodwears! Easy on the back and easy on the Wallet! I bet John C. would approve of the Windward. He has a Vintage heart.

Thanks for passing this along to me T.

Thanks, it is a new one just arrived from Wosfbrae Custom Hatters (@belfastboy). It is a Silverbelly, 160gr Ukrainian rabbit felt, suede finish. 2 7/8" raw brim, 6" open crown with top crown and side venting, and unlined with bright copper grosgrain ribbon, and neutral brim binding. I’m digging it.

Thank you @Vincenz!

@handymike Wow, really nice LL and perfect fit. Congrats!

 

[Robbie79]

I'm afraid I'm going to spam you guys with this jacket.

Back to the office for a change.

Thank you @Vincenz!

Too perfect!

 

[MrProper]

Too perfect!

Yes, really incredible. As if made for him.

 

[Leather Walker]

The temperature has dropped today, ideal to take walk this Cal.

 

[JMax]

In honor of Leather Walker I am wearing this Cal today, but without the collar.

46 degrees is legit Vanson weather. I think what I like most about this jacket is that it has restored my faith in their comp weight cow. Spray bottle and clip treatment yesterday to train that collar. It has potential!

Nice jacket!! Is this jacket made in recent batch of their comp weight cow? From the leather puller it looks like tea-core?

I added the pulls. It is Vansons much maligned new comp weight. I actually love this hide. It’s dull and boring to look at but it’s thick, stiff, and feels like warm leather hug!
