What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Rogue Territory Supply Jacket:

Did the extra button hole serve a function historically? Button on a towel, or to hold a tool on a string with a button?

It's for your pocket watch chain.

^ Thats my understanding. Completely unnecessary today. Nevertheless, I have several shirts, and a few jackets, that have the extra hole.

Thank you, makes sense.

I do like the detail though.

That is my Favorite. You should be the poster boy for that jacket. That little shirt collar just tears it up. did it come stock with those leather Pulls? that was made for you.

I bought it second hand from another lounger. I would guess the leather pulls came with it originally as the color matches exactly.

Not really wearing, but trying on Aero HB.

That jacket looks awesome

The pocket watch, chain and fob were always worn on the waistcoat (vest), which had pockets designed for them, never on the coat. The extra buttonhole on the coat was for a monocle or pince-nez chain or cord. I have no idea what it would be doing on a work coat like this, though... maybe earbud wires .

Yes as already mentioned it was for a watch chain. Wristwatches were considered as luxury items in the early 20th century & would also be easily damaged doing manual work & so working clothing often had options to carry pocketwatches, which were more pratical. Today of course it is just a token feature much like the little 5th pocket (inside the right front pocket) in jeans which was also originally to carry a pocketwatch when waistcoats went out of fashion..

Finally! The temperature dropped enough to break out the lightest leather I have, my DD Buco J-100. Fresh back from a very minor trim in length.

Just got back from a motorcycle trip. It was fun! Two photos from one of many fun places I've been to.

^Looking great there, buddy. Jacket is a cracker and those surroundings are incredible. Wish I rode a motorcycle.

Thank you, Mendel! Model B is a great jacket indeed, but you already know that.

It's this sort of thing that makes it all worth it. Motorcycle road trip. It's just fun. And this is the perfect time to do it, although I was freezing on the way back. But summers are too hot... Why don't you give it a try??

Thanks for posting some beautiful scenery - I love old abandoned structures - they remind me of ghosts in a way. Very nice way of integrating yourself into the picture as an observer. Of course the jacket is the real star!

Thank you! I wasn't really posing or anything; my friend was taking a bunch of photos of this structure (it used to be a torpedo factory!) so I just posted these two as the jacket is somewhat visible. The first one is nice, though. I was staring at the gargantuan cargo ship disappearing into the misty sea when this was taken. Took it half an hour to vanish from sight. I was mesmerized... Those wooden structures on the top of the plant, let's just say I wouldn't want to be anywhere near 'em at night.

cool, like a screen capture of Fallout 4
