What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[AbbaDatDeHat]

Greetings all:
Today...it’s about 50 deg so i thought i’d give this old warhorse another go.
I know many would shun even recognizing it’s existence but....if a jacket ever could tell stories, i bet this old boy would get a few drinks bought and be the last one outta the bar.
Schott and the hat to match.
Be well. Bowen

That or it was used as a costume in The Walking Dead. [/QUOTE]

Or find higher rise denim or leather trousers to go with it Cheaper!

Double leather eh
Whatever you do dont pair them with mirror sunglasses or leather cap

@ronbo that is a great jacket! I didn’t know that Buzz Rickson ever made the B-15C in a size 48. What age is that jacket?
I have the B-15C in a size 44 and it’s a tad snug (finding one in a size 48 would be the bee’s knees!).

Thanks . I bought this one back around 2000 or maybe a little later. Every year that goes by I realize even more how lucky I was lol. Cheers Ron

I am wearing IH. I would need some significant high rise to make it work. Which brands do you recommend?

You bring up an interesting point. I found my Vanson model B well suited to lower bars and rearset controls but only decent for upright cruiser riding. This was because it fell below my pant line when seated straight up and lacked a two way zipper. This coulled with the stiff leather caused some chest balooning. I’m thinking the shorter Model C2 i have now, cut similar to your LW will fix this. Basically i had exactly the opposite issue.

I was wondering if a jacket suited for my bike would work on a leaning back position. Thanks for sharing!
Different bikes, different jackets, it does not get any better than that!

Wow...just Wow red devil!!
Seeing this jacket makes me wish i was 30 years younger cause i woulda wore the hell outta it!!
Hell on wheels man!!

Pretty sure you would look great in it now as well!

That is exactly what I thought when I first saw Hh's photo . . . oh, to be young again. However, upon reconsideration, even when I was in college, I did not have the moxie to wear a jacket that bold. Kudos to Hh for his intrepid individualism.

I think that I said it before but I really believe you could pull off a cross zip @Superfluous

but zipping up a crosszip would make your elbow bends more and causing creases on the sleeve joke

I often wondered about this brand! They pop up rarely on eBay. Made in Wisconsin or Minnesota? I can't recall but they always look nice!

Awesome man! Ya know they ought to make a bunch of jokes about LW jackets similar to Chuck Norris jokes. Like, Chuck Norris is so tough, he sheds his skin twice a year, and each time a new LW jacket appears from under the old layer. Or, time waits for no man, unless you're wearing a LW jacket. Then it waits out of respect.

What trousers are those? IH's? They crease just like leather.

 

[Dav]

Yes, the PIH5DCS. I do like their 25oz denim I must admit.

Vanson model b, the old competition weight cowhide is aging beautifully
