What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Blackrock works well to restore the waxy CXL finish.

Yes, but I don't like stickiness of BR, I tried it on my JL black cxl it remains sticky for few weeks. However it does bring the color and sheen back to my Octagon leather.

I know it's sounds funny but I actually want baby this jacket,got few sprinkle afternoon and I was little concern it will takes out the sheen of cxl.

Yes, I love the sheen on black leather. I asked for the blackest, shiniest, smoothest, CXL Johnson leathers had.

I wipe it off after 20mins and buff it with a brush. The stickiness is gone.

Your leather is great, and I think it's easier to buff it to shine compare to grainy one. I got kind of mismatch in front panels, left is super grainy and right is smooth, I like it.

Horween CXL leather is great. It makes for one hell of a motorcycle grade hide. I also think it looks great in pics. Keep on wearing your beast, it will only get better.

I like the whole ensemble. What trousers are those? The herringbone fabric looks great and I've recently become quite attached to herringbone with my Freenote Cloth Western pants.

Thanks very much! These are my Buzz Rickson hbt WWII trousers. Very comfortable and imo great looking too. I quite like herringbone too!

What Jacket Did You Wear To The Beach Today?

I wore an L.L. Bean civilian A-2 for about 20 years. I'm not so interested in A-2s anymore. However this GW A-2 with Indian goatskin is nice and light, and I like the fit being not too blousy.

You need a Straw Boater. I wore a LL A2 for years too until it wore out!

Thanks for the link. The last comment was mine! This is a seldom seen style, with the pre-war look. Just jumped out at me.

OK, have to indulge my curiosity. You actually wear leather jackets at the beach in Hawaii? When? Why? Isn't it too warm there to comfortably do that?
