What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[ai00344]

In my early motorcycling days, 30 years ago, the first motorcycle jacket I owned was a Harro with a mandarin collar. For whatever reason, I later sold the jacket and also lost the path to the Cafe Racer jackets. Until recently when I got this Himel Pincrest in American Oak Steerhide. I fell in love again with the visual simplicity yet complex cut of a cafe racer.

Really cool jacket. This may go against the grain here but I like it better than the Kensington

How is that lining? I am wishing my 118 had a thinner lining like my 141.

It’s a lot like the nylon on the 141, maybe a little smoother? Easy on / off, no insulation. I like the red, variety is the spice of life after all.

Too warm for jackets

 

[Kenan]

Waaaay to hot and humid to wear leather jackets on Copenhagen at the moment.

Putting some wear to my new LW l/t b. It’s still a bit too tight around chest and gut, but after losing few more kilos it’ll be fine.

I had this one made from LW’s lightest black hh, which is easy to wear from get go and shows grain almost instantly. Crown main zip + talons for sleeves and pockets. Rayon satin lining. I love it!

One of those jackets you can just sit with and always learn new things about. Beautiful construction and design. The folks at LT were geniuses.

Should be form fitting- the pattern demands it. Looking slick my man.

I am convinced after seeing so many well fitting and fantastic LW here from you, @Carlos840 and many others that Stu is another level.

If it wasn't for that website and the snarky remarks I'd have been interested earlier on his work and would own at least one of his pieces instead of others that I don't particularly care for now.

It's not too late to get one, now is it?

One just needs to roll with his eccentricities. IMO, I would rather that than missed deadlines and then going dark on comms. That would send me into revenge mode.
Scorched earth type thoughts. Lol.

Agreed. Stuart's communication (nobody in this game answers emails as quickly as he does. not even close.), deadline keeping and standing behind his product are top notch! As are his jackets.

Nice ride today in my new to me SB vest. Love this lightweight HH for the TX heat.

That's one of the reasons I have so many of his jackets... speaking of which I have a backlog of jackets to post about lol

My Aero Cafe Racer in blackened brown Vicenza, that despite being an inch too short, still rocks my world.

Buco J24 for a few ales on a (Father's Day) Sunday afternoon

Goodwear 27752- this one’s from a soft Horween horse.

 

[Tom71]

A Himel and an RMC checking in and out of hotels on a road trip in Northern Italy. No wear during a major heatwave.

 

[Monitor]

Entire summer is a major heatwave.

I won't be taking a leather jacket to London for sure.

 

[willyto]

Where do you guys live? It's freaking hot in Europe, no way you're able to wear any kind of jacket outside.

 

[BloodEagle]

Im in the E Midlands in the UK and it has been pretty cool this weekend - not so much on Friday when it was extremely hot and only a certified lunatic would have considered wearing any kind of jacket at all, let alone a leather one.
