What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Fanch]

Teamster today. Early afternoon and 35F in N Texas with 20 mph NW wind, it feels more like the first week in January here than the first week in April.

Well, it just get in the way of practicality when you're jumping around with a camera.

I thought I will show off my CXL steer, with which I have kinda love hate relationship.

Maybe it’s a belt issue...

The horween Harvana brown is even more beautiful than their regular brown which Aero has, in my opinion.

Not sure how do you mean.

Rain stopped, going to head over the bridge to Johnson Leather have Art put in a new lining into a 25 year old jacket for my son in law.

What is the rule, do you have to match the hat with the jacket, belt, and shoes?

 

[dubpynchon]

Not sure how do you mean.

Just a joke about the ongoing discussion about whether a jacket should overlap or go past the belt. A discussion that will never end.

Hahaha...I myself prefer just at the belt though.

My Les Motocyclettistes Charade CR, perfect for riding my old Guzzi side car rig.

Welcome! Heck of a jacket you have there! Having never heard of this French maker before of course I had to google them and check out their page. And thankfully most of it is in English. I see that they use horse and source their hides from Japan. Owning one can you give any insight to how thick in millimeters and/or oz’s it is and any sort of finish that is applied? Break in time and all that good stuff. Also all the leather jackets are in black curious if they have color choices. Needless to say They definitely have me intrigued.

It just the fact that I am always aware that I am wearing the jacket. I could be that it's not yet fully broken in( I don't know how fully broken in jacket feels like) , but my arm starts to feel numb after it folded for some time.

Sorry I don’t understand what you’re asking ?
Also what you mean by « grand-dad » ?

I must be more tired than I thought...

Oops. I guess you have not been reading the Type III thread and the discussion regarding jacket length. My post to you was a joke predicated on that thread/discussion (in that thread, someone labeled longer jackets a “grand-dad” look). To be clear, I love the length of your jacket (the “grand-dad” comment was intended as a compliment). Sorry about the confusion.

Asaha - I get this feeling. Jumping around with a camera, trying to get shots in at odd angles and times, it does take getting used to with (especially cold) CXL leather, Steer or Horse. Provided your body is keeping it warm enough (and the sun) it's less of an issue. However I find textile jackets, such as a good wool or cotton to work easier, even if I'd prefer to be wearing a leather.

That's one beautiful jacket you have there!

Wearing a vintage Cal Leather that I picked up from Ksozay recently. I had my trusty tailor make a snap on collar for it using some vintage mouton off of a coat I purchased a couple years back for a G-1 collar replacement.

The collar came out very nicely and the jacket fits like it was made for me.

I wear a hat all the time and have found that the gray fedora looks fine with both black and brown. A really nice combo is an Akubra Bluegrass Green Campdraft with a brown jacket. The thing I used to wonder about is whether a straw hat (non-Panama) looks okay with a brown leather jacket. I asked about it over on the hat forums a few times and was sternly reprimanded, so I stopped going there. I find my oak-colored Sunbody looks great with it (IMHO).

Hey Bob:
I spend a lot of time over in the hat threads. I think a straw looks good with anything just like a leather jacket does. Formalities are just someone else’s opinion.
As far as the reprimands, yeah some can be a little pretentious. Every now and then they just need...a glare, then a fastball high and inside, a chuckle, then some heat right down the pipe. If ya know what i mean. I just use a lot of change ups for balance.
Be well. Bowen

Aaahhhh ok, I read this thread diagonally.

I hate short jackets, you will never see me with a jacket NOT covering my belt. So yes I’m a grand dad or more precisely a grand ma! Lol

So I was right I’m tired for not being caught up on the different threads.
