What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[El Marro]

I think it’s really the US vs the rest of the world in terms of zipper placement.

Not surprising, we love our feet and inches and we like our zippers on the right side.

@navetsea , it's kinda h̶a̶r̶d̶ impossible to get back to leather after denim, isn't it. Luckily, both look as good.

sadly yes, very easy to wear like grabbing a shirt over a tshirt, and it doesn't even need to be buttoned up to look decent, especially my 14oz, I just wear it all day, and perhaps the only material I can manage to get some character into it in my own lifetime. but wearing denim jackets as easy wearing as they are don't give me the superhero feeling unlike leather jackets, beside only in my leather jacket i got asked a photo by an instant-coffee salesgirl, little brat literally jumped in shock and went hiding behind his momma baggy jeans, and vacant seats next to me at the church.

When I try to zip a left side pull I might as well be using my foot.

Buncha Barbours. I’m like a monkey and a football.

I just realize all my zipper pulls are on the left, but I use right hand to pull, only a matter of zipper box slotting doesn't matter much for the rest, pulling zipper on a cross zip with your left hand would be next to impossible just like driver seat on the wrong side of the car instead of the right side of the car.

for that sport, bomb bandit is a more proper name than football

Wore my Brooks cafe racer to the leather tailor today. New lining being put in by bike leather specialist in Melbourne. At $120 for the whole job, I can't imagine I will loose on this as the existing lining is shredded. Should be ready in a week.

On the fence with this Lost Worlds suburban. First I should say thanks to @John D Maccarter for a great deal and lightning fast shipping. It’s certainly an incredible piece of leather. As for the fit I think it’s pretty good. Maybe a touch too relaxed for my taste (back shot is unzipped) and the sleeve length is borderline too short per my preference. I know it’s a boxy pattern....Thoughts? I’m thinking it’s probably time to recoup my small investment here and apply toward a premier HWM. Debating. Help me decide.

don't tell us don't carry with you another leather jacket to wear home after you left that behind....

I was wondering if anyone was going to ask this - no I wore my 1980's nylon police jacket home.

Bargain ! Will be good to see the outcome !

Very, Very Cool!

Working in the rain today running some pvc conduit for a new garage panel:

Wearing my Langlitz Columbia and hoping that the jacket will show a bit more grain and character after a day in the mud.

True and useless story.

A local guy to me was born with no arms and plays the drums and drives a car with his feet!

I think that ghosting of the inside pocket gives balance and more character for the plain right side
