What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[JMax]

Maybe a stupid question, but have you ever had a jacket like that covered in bug guts?
Can it ever be saved?

Big time. All the time down here as I regularly ride throughout the Everglades. I wipe the jacket down when I can on the road and then give it a good cleaning when I get home (or hotel, or tent) at the end of the day with a damp cloth. Never had an issue. This one recently got me through a huge swarm of dragonflies at 80 mph. All good. I wipe down the bike too, that stuff eats paint.

Wow, I can wear something over a t-shirt without immediately dying!

Vanson Cheyenne.

That looks amazing. Shinier than mine, which I dig.

Nope. Generic lookalikes from the drug store. Less than $20.

Some early fall ball on the porch tonight.
The Sherpa provided a bit of warmth against a painful growing trend with the cubbies.

Ah so that will be a generic "lookalike" beer will it ?

Hardly.

As long as the sunglasses are appealing to me and block UV rays, I wear them. I’d rather spend my money on quality leather jackets.

Very cool Vanson but your dog looks unimpressed

You have to see the look of judgement he's giving me when I'm trying to figure out which jacket to wear. I seriously feel stupid at times.

Phenomenal jacket. I want this. Is that the one you snapped out of my outstretched hand on ebay.co.uk for very little money a good while back?

Thank you! I think that's the one, yeah. From an UK seller, right? But don't worry, it's a very large jacket. I think it's either a 44 or 46 so even though it doesn't look bad but it's definitely too big for me. I love to wear it but it's nowhere near as cool and perfect fitting as your JL.

Just back from langlitz had em cut the low back panel straight. Glad I did.

Ps that is a chunk of delicious brownie on my pant leg

Great modification. Gives a different look I really like.

Finally it’s cold enough to wear leather again! Today I’m wearing my Royal blue Langlitz cascade. This leather is one of my all time favorites: thick, soft and grainy. No break in period, comfy out of the box! I strongly recommend Langlitz’s special colour cowhides (I hear that standard medium and heavyweight black and brown are much stiffer to begin with).

Langlitz colored hides are exceptional from the get-go.
Nice!!!

Rarely wear this one lately, squeaky thick cow hide today, going to spend hours on it to soften back the leather if the temp allows it usually it goes mid 30c by midday.

You know my Cheyenne is a 42. If interested, and this is a 44, I would trade.

The 42 fits me nice with a T-shirt or thin Henley, but if it helps you I can move this jacket to my “layering” side of the closet.

I have said "no more jackets" but one of these would be an exception!!!
Gorgeous grain and sheen.
