Cheating a bit, because this is a continuation of yesterday's walk. After a gloomy morning, sun came out in the afternoon and it became very nice. One thing about this Cal - despite it being a t-shirt only fit, the range of motion is great due to the bi-swing feature. The incoming Californian does not have it, so it will be great to compare the two.

That's a great looking jacket.What Jacket Are You Wearing Today? The only one (leather) that I currently have as I got rid of all my mall jackets as a part of my quest for "proper" leather jacket(s).
Buttoned half-belt in black waxed goatskin from 5* after about a month of almost daily wear.

Thank you! Completely custom model/pattern based on various photos I sent them from different models I've seen online. And specified all measurements in terms of fit. Turned out slightly off in a few areas but quite ok in general. Now available as a stock model on their website, very cheap too.That goat skin looks amazing and you nailed the fit. Did you get really specific with your measurements or order pretty much off the rack from 5*?
I love that Cal!Cheating a bit, because this is a continuation of yesterday's walk. After a gloomy morning, sun came out in the afternoon and it became very nice.

Very nice, is this new?. Who is the maker?. I live in NZ so am interested in finding out more, thanksWell, I was hoping to share my most recent jacket acquisition but it was a complete bust size-wise, so here's the one I've been wearing for the past week and a half. The Few "Stormer Jacket", made in NZ (goatskin).

(I'm new to the selfie game so please forgive the less-than-ideal photo)
If I'm honest it's probably a size too large for me (the sleeves go further past my wrist than I'd like when standing normally and the shoulders/chest are broader than I usually go for), but after meticulously recording down the measurements, taking photos and putting it up for sale, I promptly ended the listing 2 seconds later lol. I'm not quite ready to part with it. Goatskin is my favourite leather of choice (apart from kangaroo, though I've yet to find a jacket made with it that fits), and I'll admit that I'm a huge sucker for these big collars
I'll probably just keep it anyway. In cooler temps I think it'll be especially great for layering.
Bates Highwayman. I have the Sam Browne belt very snug because it kind of feels great that way. Overall, this jacket is excellent and very comfortable.
Is it a keeper? If so, /thread on any more black jackets for me as I have the collection complete.

Thanks! I was fortunate enough to get it second-hand off Y!Japan at a reasonable price and in good condition so I'm pretty happy with it overall.Very nice, is this new?. Who is the maker?. I live in NZ so am interested in finding out more, thanks
Yes it is! The leather, construction, and quality are all fantastic.Definitely a keeper. Looks great. That’s the one I owned years ago, correct? It’s an awesome representation of Bates’s hide.
