What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[ton312]

I know y'all just dyin' to see the hundred oz pants in the wild except that I know you don't so @torfjord , since you requested...

I can’t believe I’m typing this. Those are actually seriously cool! The brown rough side makes a great cuff. Now you just need one of these for the other end of the leash:

Yeah, I’ll wear those pants over a pink perfecto any day. They do look cool and quite comfortable.

@ton312 @JMax I may have had some questionable purchases in the past but I don't ever forget it's The Fedora Lounge I come from so at the end of the day, I wouldn't be bringing in something stupid here cuz ultimately, I myself wouldn't be happy with it. That is to say, these pants are really cool.

And I'm glad you mentioned the cuffs! They ain't half as cool without the cuffs & I was already planning on having them narrowed or something but the moment I cuffed the legs, that was it. They done.

Been testing things today, leather jackets don't seem to work with 'em. Something is off, can't tell what exactly. Denims look cool. Denim shirts really work! I'm thinking your wool half-belts would be 100% compatible and the best part, the pants are only truly happy when worn over sneakers so your Converse are good.

I don’t know how often I’d wear them but I would like a pair like that. . It’ll be interesting to see how they patina. I’d think much faster than a jacket. Those would be perfect with a browns beach jacket for sure.

Excellent photos!

Thedi again. 90 % of the time I choose this jacket when I’m heading out.

Could be. I didn´t find any info on this. I thought, it could have been Himel´s early attempt at the BRIMACO pattern.

Anyway: I much prefer it to the Kensington. I would really love to see comparative fit-pictures in the wild.

The Himel Pinecrest is still available "It was an omage to a flat track racing jacket by Bates. Pinecrest was a famous race track here in Ontario hence the name", David Himel.

Btw: Here are some left over Himels from a re-seller with international shipping available (Prices in CHF). Maybe @Damon141 will help out a serious interested buyer about measurements on offered Pinecrest in Size 46", because he was in contact with the shop to figure out the numbers.

I have no financial or professional connection to this shop. I'm just a long time customer and if I can give someone a hint for a good priced Jacket, I'm happy. Just a little info on the american chrome re veg tanned american oak Steerhide used. I have held numerous leathers of all kinds in my hands, but for me this leather is the most extraordinary that I have seen, both in terms of feel/haptic and appearance/colorway...

You nailed it!

Oops! That might be quite difficult. I don't know how many Pinecrest have been produced so far. Besides my jacket, I've only seen FL member @RiceKnight's jacket, who bought it from the same seller... Possibly a few made their way to far east (Japan, Korea) but there are little to no infos on the web or on social media regarding the Pinecrest Jacket.

That makes the jacket even more extraordinary for me

This particular jacket (and the wearer) are iconic!

That's a sign to keep this one and move the others.
