What Jacket Did You Wear To The Beach Today?
GW Cossack. This Indian Goatskin is a great hide, lightweight, but still drapes well, and is quite rugged.

It looks red. Is that a trick of the camera or is it red? Octagon is orangey brown in my experience, but I could definitely get behind a red variant

You Are right, it is red. The orange color you describe is from early batch of Octagon.

The red batches of the last few years are special. I do need newer pics of the jacket.

New naked cow 5 Star steer HB. I almost never wear leather jackets to work but I gotta see how this one feels irl.

Damn, I asked them about a red jacket just the other day! I was thinking to ask for the red zirconian they use on the Italia jacket.. but if the octagon is red now that'd be a no brainer!

How recent was your order?

Beautiful light. Aero Badalassi halfbelt.

I take back every negative or unsure thought I had about this Johnson Leathers jacket. It’s just great. Longer style than my usual maybe, they did a bang up job.

What does Aero call this leather color? I saw there only Tobacco and Russet.

This is Tobacco. It's darkened significantly since I've had it. Beautiful.

Is that a two toned Chopper with some black mixed in on the side? Stunning jacket!

I did not buy from Vanson, according to serial number that starts with 80 it should be a recent (4-5 years ago) batches.

Black hide only used where you see it underneath the side straps and then the sleeve gussets. It is a nice jacket for sure.

One of my very favorite jackets today. Unfortunately, getting the real color in photographs is very difficult with this one as there are some cool undertones.

The jacket is a bit darker than this.

Ralph Lauren Vintage 30's style flight jacket. Sort of 37j1-ish:

the external material is a lightweight corded-cotton, sort of N-1 Deck Jacket material but not a thick.

Thank you! Took me a while to let go of the way the back looks.

45 and rainy. Perfect chance to break out my new Barbour Border with pile lining. Got it at an absolute steal on the bay. Lowballed because it was being sent from Ukraine and I felt I’d have little recourse if it showed up in bad shape. It showed up in perfect shape. I’d planned on spending the night rewaxing and it doesn’t even need that.
