What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[casechopper]

Tellason Chore Coat

 

[A-1]

Vintage made in Canada College jacket (from the 1960s?):

My favorite jacket at the moment. Bought this in Vancouver four years ago and still love it to the bones. My go-to jacket right now.

Great again, loungers!

Temps just cool enough to justify a light jacket on doggo's morning constitutional jaunt so I opted for this Schott. Had to shed it about half way thru. It's deceptively warm despite its light weight. Nice to be getting back in the game tho. Bring on October, 40 degrees and rain.

I need one of these jackets to pair with my BGGCD

After furiously obsessing over the broken zip pull all night I put the j106 on this morning and it zipped right up. I almost wonder if the pull was the problem? Setting the slider at a funky angle? I don't know but I think for now I'll just leave well enough alone.

Just want to give a huge public thanks to Denny at Aero, who in seeing this thread, offered to send me replacement pulls free of charge. Man that's the kind of customer service that makes for life long customers and I'm just putting the finishing touches on my Aero order that will be my pièce de résistance of cross zip orders from Aero, and knowing how well they back their product...I couldn't be happier.

Great looking jacket and great overall look, Mysteryo. Looks like heavy tweed in that one.

Thanks for the kind word, Michael! Yes it is heavy and lined with brown wool!

Glad to hear the zip still works, and that a more permanent fix is on the way. Great jacket.

I'm liking the color of this jacket more and more. Works well with the brown hat.

Super school colors at that college. I have a newer Canadian made lettermans type jacket, but it is black on black. That blue with natural leather is superb. Can see why you are liking it.

Same thing all summer. Old navy type III jean jacket. Odd how much the green has faded in just a few months.

Exact same thing happened to me. I had broken the zipper pull of my Aero cafe racer, mentioned it in passing in one of the threads here (probably this same one), next thing somebody from Aero contacted me and sent several replacement zipper pulls halfway round the world at no cost to me. Now that's customer service! Way to go Aero!

Simple sporty-elegant black bonding-jacket, today.

Damn! Yeah I'm not far from that myself I fear. If I don't line it up with scientific precision it just folds and I give up. I need to try the wax. I forgot you'd mentioned that before. I hate to replace a zip that's not broken but a big fat ass YKK or RIRI would make life so much easier.

It is the only weakness I have experienced with Lost World's. Zipper can be hit or miss. But I have also had to replace an Aero zipper.

Well, inspired by your pics I busted out my j106 for a try on. Aaaaaannd I wish I hadn't!

I think these little Talons are made of pig iron. Snapped the sucker right in half. Granted it's a #6 going up against 12 lbs of cow but man. I really wish Aero would consider a heavier zip. I understand the desire for historical accuracy but it would take four original Buco's to equal this jackets weight. It's 3/4" thick at each side of the zipper. For now, sigh, I'll roll with this:

Really sucks !! When my Aero Cafe Racer zipper broke I went to Amazon and spent $7 for the brass heavy duty zip then paid $40 to a shoe cobbler to replace- Now it is perfection!

This tank of a zipper is barely enough for Vanson comp. weight hide and it's the heaviest they get.

This zipper talk had me checking which type of zipper my en route Aero A-1 has...talk about FAIL of the morning!
