What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Black goatskin, now more dark grey than black

Good thing I’m typing because I’m basically speechless.
I received this Vanson CR today off the bay. Lone bidder. $98+10. Listed as vintage VGC. There was some speculation on the “how many new..” thread that it would date to the early nineties or earlier based on the Talon zipper. What ever era it is from, they got the sleeves right then. Many current Vanson have bodybuilder bicep sleeves. These are snug but not so much as to limit mobility. View attachment 185187 View attachment 185186 View attachment 185188 It is, in short, amazing. THICK hide. Soft as a 5 yr old grass cutting sweatshirt. Wear marks and patina in all of the right places. Not a stich popped. The grain on the leather looks like the oldest, meanest elephant on the savanna. The only odor is the satisfying aroma of enduring cool. I shall not mention the fit as I don’t wish to well up with tears of happiness. Bless you previous owner. I hope it was nominal weight gain from a life well enjoyed that has forced you to pass this on. Rest easy. I’ve got it from here.

Awesome jacket & fit

Boyo - possibly your best fitting jackets. Nice work.

Lol, don't. This has been attempted several times already, to no avail. Trench is entrenched on this matter.

Yep, it's part of his standout charm. I like it.

Spent the week in Minneapolis for work and got the chance to take the Chips with me. Now back in the office and it is still with me...

More of the same today. Layering With a thickish sweater. Needs a lot of wear to be a cool jacket, but we will get there.

Almost feeling selfconscious posting denim jacket in this thread, how time flies and hype comes and go (cough) like avian flu.... who was the patient zero again? Failed to remember....
Type2 today

Cafe Racer jacket in Battered Seal mid-HH arrived two days early to Taipei, just in time for cooler weather and mild typhoon (typhoons in Taipei seem much kinder than HK equivalents). I sized up to a 42 and, for me, this is an ideal fit for this style (I don't want to look like laowei sausage-boy). The sleeves will shorten up, but they're also quite handy as they are. The inner lining is black cotton drill; much as I like tartan linings, this might be harder-wearing and better for when the temperature starts to climb again. As I work at altitude, this'll definitely see a good few months' wear...

 

[zebedee]

The sleeves look unbalanced because I've trapped a nerve in my shoulder, so I'm a bit lop-sided.

I reckon this is a bit heavier than the Battered Tan; it's already showing some lighter areas due to creasing (and because I wear it out in the deluge like a boss).
