Wore the Bravestar type III with a vintage Banana Republic vest which is kinda like an Aero Shackleton.

Both versions are very cool! Thanks!

Very, very nice riding jacket!

I was just in another thread recounting the Jackets I bought in 2021. Like the others in the thread it adds up to thousands of $. Then a jacket like this Reed comes along under $90 and it makes me think. Not sure what it makes me think.

A Black Suede Trucker with a smooth collar has caught my eye a couple of times, but size etc. they did not work out.

I had the opportunity to buy Levi rough out jackets through the years, but passed as they just looked cheap and usually dirty. They were very little money then.

This Reed Sportswear is like new, weighs around 4.5 pounds, fully lined and very comfortable. Has hand warmer pockets that I only discovered after putting it on! I was never a fan of handwarmers in denim truckers, but in this jacket they are perfect.

This is a Jacket that could put others in the closet.

Flat Head HH jacket. One of my favorite grails of all time! Also, absolutely love this Aero sweater. Super cozy on the bike.

Wow! That jacket is stunning! Leather trim is a nice touch. Fits you perfectly too. Very similar to my Iron Heart trucker, yet a fraction of the cost.

your jackets are really get broken in on the road, infused with petrol fume, radiated by sunlight, with the sound of nature and the engine, that's a perfect dream for any riding jackets ever being built rather than being worn for sitting in an airconditioned room with clickety clackety of the keyboard all day, infused with the smell of latte, radiated by blue light like the majority of them.

A bit of mystery jacket. Bought it off Craigslist yesterday for $80 in a f2f transaction. Looks to be Guide Master by Wolf, but made for an outfit called Kennedy's according to the label. Definitely a project, busted seams galore, lining shredded, but the 1950s horsehide is stiff, gnarly and glorious. I don't know why I am fixing these jackets, will never make any money. I almost did not buy it, but the seller, a musician, told me he wore it in the 70s while drumming for pre-Blondie Debbie Harry at CBGBs. I bought the story hook, line an sinker, probably to justify buying it, lol.

LOL!!! "clickety clackety"... that's funny. I did that for some years, film editing. Until, I couldn't take it anymore. My body was going to hell sitting hunched over a keyboard all day.

Nice jacket!

 

[BlueSteel]

Nice jacket!

Thank you! Love the jacket and the leather, but it fits a tad small (bought it used here on TFL) so I figured that this particular hoodie underneath works to mask some of the size issues...and matches the camo lining too!

Awesome. Great pic.

My boy has a x zip and CR. Neither as nice as the Branded. Love it when he picks them out of the closet to wear.

I don't think it looks small on you, through the shoulders and arms it fits you well. That jacket is based upon a 1930's jacket. That's why the cut is short and breaks right at the waist, it's when men wore very high waisted trousers. It's a cool style. If you wore jeans that were a little more higher waisted and fuller through the legs, like 501s, it would look a lot better. Check out the dude from "Almost Vintage Style" on IG, he wears those cool short vintage jackets almost exclusively. He knows how to dial them in! ;-)

I wish there was a "Double-Like" button for this pic - awesome!

Thank you for the tip - I'll certainly give that a try!
