What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Atticus Finch]

I’m among a group of retired guys who meet for coffee at B-Bop’s Cafe most weekday mornings. One of our “members” is now taking ukulele lessons and, today, he brought his uke to show us what he’s learned. After rocking through a rendition of “Tiny Bubbles” he handed the uke to me. I play guitar, but until today, I had never tried my hand at a ukulele. And yes, Mildred, the frets are much closer together than those on my HD-28. I learned pretty quickly that soprano ukuleles are definitely instruments for people with tiny hands. They probably sell well in Washington, DC.

I’m wearing my 1986 Orchard G-1. It’s one of my favorite jackets, but it sure didn’t make me play any better.

Navy Aero BR from Carrie/Thurston bros. Was a little concerned the color would be too light/bright for my taste but relieved to find it's perfect. Really happy with the jacket and Carrie, as always, was a pleasure to deal with.

Wow that arrived quickly!

How about some fit pics?

I'm looking forward to spring, but don't mind spending another day with this beast.

Cold and windy morning here so I went with an overcoat

An old Harris Tweed, over a Harris jacket. Warmed up some this afternoon so for squirrel skinning duty I got into the Montgomery Ward unit

It worked very well, so I think I'll designate it as my official rodent butchering jacket.

Have a good one,
Michael

@Michael A, somehow I think a deerstalker cap would look really good with this outfit

Ha ha, I think you could be right Thor. This one would have matched the jacket maybe.

But this one might have worked too,

Good to hear from you, since that means you've survived the storm. I hope all of the other east coast denizens are okay.

My favorites. The black jacket and hat are the best.

@Michael A You, sir, always have impeccable style.

Quick question, which lining is relatively warmer between cotton drill and regurla light tartan wool in Aero? Today I wear my highwayman(light tartan wool lining) with only a t shirt underneath,it didn't bother me at 40 degree.

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Cotton drill isn't that warm because it's weave is quite breathable. In fact I suggest that it's Aero's chilliest lining on a cold or windy day.

As far as I know there is nothing warmer between them. But there are a lot warmer than both.

Today I am wearing this little beauty......

Olive cotton-fieldjacket, again.

Alright last week it was -5°C and a windchill of -12°C
Not normal for the south of France...
The B3 was a welcome addition.
This week, we had some nice weather, enough to wear my Kensington.

This looks great!
I was wondering, doesn’t the Himel Shinki evolve creases on the sleeves? It’s just that when I look at SF‘s our your jacket, they look like new all the time. So I’m actually wondering if he uses a different batch.

While I can understand people to desire their leather jackets to look new (it must be hard to not bend your arms though), for me a worn look is what makes a leather jacket look great! And those sleeve creases are maybe my favorite part of this worn look.

Isn't your jacket made from Shinki as well?

Don't worry I'm not walking around like a stick or a zombie [emoji1]
This is pigmented HH, I think most Himel owner choose wax HH and this is the big difference about creases when you look at other Himel jackets.

@Monitor DD's Shinki crease more easily than this one, this isn't the same finish.

The jacket has plenty of character even without crazy creases.

Not much changed:

Yes, that’s why I’m wondering.
