The warm enough/cool enough ratio is just right for this Cresco jacket.

No pics yet, but I broke down and went back to the New To You thrift store in town and picked up a dark brown Jos. A. Banks leather jacket. I missed the orange tag on it, so didn't realize it was on sale for 50% off. I would have grabbed it Friday if I had noticed that.

It's a nice jacket, heavy but smooth leather with quality stitching, zippers, and removable liner. Two outside pockets with snap closures and two inside pockets for my wallet, phone, etc. The outside pockets have open backs for warming your hands.

Fits much better than my $24.99 Phase 2 jacket and very little noticeable wear. $65 out the door and seems like a bargain at the price.

I think I know the brown leather jackets which you bought, they've been selling something unchanged for several years. They seem like a good solid value jacket, if a bit unexciting. Looking forward to pics.

Totally the opposite of my tastes, but awesome.

I found one on ebay that looks very much the same as mine, but with more wear.

Wowsers!

You know Michael I've been counting up from your recent posts and have calculated that you have just over a million jackets and coats. How do you find space to store them all? I have less than a dozen and still have to keep some in the spare room.

This is the best my selfies get. It shows a little of the jacket.

That ^ is a wicked look you've got together Corky. Something evoking the seventies but completely timeless nonetheless.

Lovely jacket.

I wonder why it is that every time i see a well-fitting leather jacket posted here i get a pang of envy? And yet every time i put on leather jacket myself i can't convince myself it sits me.

Sigh!

You have a spare room? Lucky you. I used to have a spare room, albeit a very small one. Then I had a walk in closet. Now I have a step in closet, albeit with a whole lot of clothes in it.

Tomorrow is supposed to be cold so I think I will be wearing another Cresco coat that I just got the other day. What can I say, I'm weak. Ha ha.

Schott 618/118? Long. Lovely find.

Thanks. It's not like what I have been wearing lately, but I guess I have few tastes. If something seems like it might be fun to try I try it.

613! Star shaped imprints on the epaulets?

Pssh I wish! There is a Lot tag but no model #.

618? Moderate sheen to the leather. Early 80s judging by the YKK center zip and label design?

Missing half the belt but as you know, it's my karma coming back to cut me....

Just got my Johnson Leathers back from Alan with a massive, toasty mouton collar and trimmed sleeves re-lined with quilted lining. It's early spring and I can't wait for winter. Impeccable work by and Alan and co. yet again.

No snaps on the collar would indicate a 613 but I think they'd made a line of 618's without it too in the past. It's definitely Steerhide. Bull label with flag on the right side... Yeah, early 80's.

It fits you great, Nick!
