What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[nick123]

Took the A-2 with me to the Dinard Film Festival - just right for the weather. I was wearing it out one night, and a rising Hollywood starlet stuck her fedora on my head and said 'You look just like Indiana Jones!'. I'm betting this won't happen in Arizona. *mulls choice of jacket*

I recall a thread here where everyone was ranting about how irritated they were being associated with Indy for wearing an A-2 jacket.

 

[Sloan1874]

Nah, she was too cute for me to get angry, and she meant it nicely And anyway, Deborah Nadoolman had an A-2 in mind as a starting point for the Indy jacket.

After a sudden burst of premature winter weather - it was 24 degrees yesterday morning! - we're back to nice early fall conditions here today. Perfect for the Schott 654 I got earlier this year!

(It's a casual streetwear variation of a café racer: medium-weight cowhide, no side buckles or bi-swing back, no removable cool-weather liner, and the sleeve zips are cosmetic and don't loosen/tighten closure.)

Bill Kelso G1 Today

 

[Grayland]

Love the BK G-1, casechopper! Like the LW Board Racer too. Bet it looks rad when you hop on that bike in the background.

 

[casechopper]

The little purple one?

I ride a couple of small scooters so I probably look a bit incongruous. Most people don't expect the leather jacket, knee pads, full face helmet etc... when someone's riding a scooter.

Which one; the bike on left or the bike on the right?

I didn't even notice the bike on the right.

I guess the camo cover is working.

my a-2 jacket today

Well, that LW would still look kickass, even if worn while riding the bike on the left.

DAMN you have some cool jackets....is it rude to ask how many you have?

 

[casechopper]

Thanks Fanch.

ProteinNerd: I have 8 leather jackets. 2 Aero's, 1 Lost Worlds, 2 Vanson, 1 Bill Kelso, 1 Diamond Dave and 1 cheapo Pakistani jacket that was my first jacket.

casechopper, you've made some of us a bit jealous. Your G-1 is fabulous. Any A-2's in your collection?
BTW, I was born in Teaneck and lived in NJ until relocating to a more rural state in 1984.

That's really excellent, Case! Killer style!

This is the only jacket I'm wearing every day ever since I bought it:

I apologize for the hoodie, but I'm keeping whatever vest I'm currently wearing inside a jacket, as it's easier to put it on. It's a horribly stiff jacket.

I've wanted a "House" jacket for years now. At some point, I have to get one - if I got another bike, it would be an easier sell. You have any wear pics?

 

[Monitor]

It's a great jacket, ButteMT61. Never been on top of any of my wish lists, but once I got it, I realized she's the one. Can't recommend this jacket enough!

I intend to post a few wear pics soon, together with a small review (and comparison) of the Model A and B.

I had to make a trip to NY to wear my Goodwear. It was nice to walk into the RRL flagship store and have the staff asking me all about my jacket
Swung by The Real McCoys store to see what all the fuss was about.....forget the Buco, The Steinbeck would be my winner.....

I was extremely lucky to get 6 of these jackets from a fellow lounger that was thinning out his collection. He happened to live close and measure close to me so it worked out well. I would never be able to buy all of these at retail price.

I do have an A-2 style jacket. It's this Vanson:

Nice jacket Monitor.
