What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

The only way to avoid such an outcome is to immediately send me one of your Californians -- you choose the color.

@ProteinNerd, and while you’re at it, send me your navy j-100, I’m happy to help out too with your burden and take one for the team...

Oh sorry mate. I've got square dibs on that one. But there's a 73% chance I'll sell it to you after a couple months.

Damn it! All right then, I’ll take the STF bootlegger...

I’m now taking requests apparently, here you go @Fonzie

Give your already insane, over-the-top collection of premier jackets, its hard for us to empathize with your delayed receipt of yet another stellar jacket. By analogy, I had no empathy when Jeff Bezos' net worth dropped $1 billion in a single day. Frankly, you should be grateful that you have not yet received your Modoc. Your daily jacket selection process is already bewildering. Add a Modoc to the stable and the resulting irreconcilable delirium could be life threatening. The only way to avoid such an outcome is to immediately send me one of your Californians -- you choose the color.

I reserve the right to be envious of any and all jackets I don’t currently own regardless of having more than I could ever need already!

I think you’ve reached jacket nirvana...

This is M/38. L would've been better but I took a chance with M. I know it's a bit small but it's quite comfortable.

Looks great, which Iron Heart model is that one?

It's a 526PJ. I do prefer the length of the 526J but without all the pockets, it would've ultimately been completely useless to me.

The fact that I've been wearing it every day since I got it speaks enough about how happy I am with this jacket. And to think I almost returned it. If it wasn't for @ksozay , I would have.

That jacket looks very good on you... almost as good as leather one
Made me realise I should maybe consider having at least one good denim jacket

This just arrived - listed and labelled as a G1. It’s pretty close to the ANJ3 I’ve been trying to cosmically order. I got it for a reasonable price owing to a couple of ‘stains’ which turned out to be starch based so an easy clean!

I never would've believed it but the IH ones are just as good. This one, I think, would look cooler than many leathers but sadly, it's sold out. Love it even though I'm not too fond of black non leather jackets.

I'm saving money for the sherpa one they said might happen later this year.

Just need a decent pair of jeans right now.

I have their 25oz at the moment and I like it a lot. It's the one I use the most for now.
Funnily enough, never really looked at the jackets, but it seems like I am missing something here...
Thanks for the link!

Aero FQHH "motorcycle" jacket, circa 1987-1992. All done with cleaning and conditioning. Just need that zipper replaced.

I find it quite comfortable. The leather softens up nicely in the warm air. I don't find it a burden to wear (overly heavy).

Total bitchin cool Gamma!! Looks like a brand new jacket not a 20-30 yr old thoroughbred!!
I think you were wise to keep that one, looks great on you. Now, wear the s**t outta it!!
Be well. Bowen
Ps: what did you use to clean and condition it?

Thanks! I owe it to the guys in FL who convinced me to keep this jacket and make it "mine."

I used Lexol to clean and a light coat of Pecards to condition. For the lining, I mixed a few drops of Woolite in a bucket of cold water, then carefully wiped the cotton lining with a damp sponge. I gently rinsed with a damp sponge and plain cold water, then let it air dry.

The leather still has some patina. My camera just isn't picking it up well on a cloudy day.

Darkblue-stone type III Denim-jacket. Protected my arms under the brutal sunlight, underways.

Awesome! Worth sending it to Alan (JL) for a zipper replacement (#10, of course). It's an investment but you won't need another jacket.

Thanks, man! Aero is sending a zipper half to me, and I'll likely send it and the jacket off to Alan for his feedback.

Anyone know if brass replacement zips are available with the paperclip-type pull like the one on Brando's jacket?
