What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Mich486]

It's right at the belt. It's short but much better on a T-shirt. I'm wearing a thick sweater which lifts it up. But it's short, yeah. Really short.

I hope you keep posting photos of this as I’m thinking of having my next jacket made out of this jerky hh and it would be great to see how yours breaks in. The more I look at it the more I like it.

@SpeedRcrX - Looking mighty skinny!!!!

So far, I have heard "holy f**k" and "don't break your back" comments when people lift it up!

My wife was cold last night and I put my Steinbeck on her shoulders -- she said it was way too heavy and uncomfortable and gave it back to me, preferring to be cold as opposed to weighted down by my jacket.

And it seems they got the extreme weight steer back again. Looks 5oz! That's what I'm getting my trucker jacket in next. In about 2 years. . . Nick, how come you decided on the HWM again??

I don't know if it's extreme weight-wise. I thought extreme was like 10-11 lbs plus...this one is about 8.5. The Highwayman was my favorite style from day one. Even though other models are better suited for my frame. It is just classic Aero!

@Monitor Ivan, it’s almost brown now, for sure.
Please note that it needs two 15 kilo carrying magnets to hold the jacket.

So sweet! So how long did it take to hit this point?

Thank you!

Well I prefer to be weighted down than being cold. I’m pretty sure my peacoat is heavier than your Steinbeck. LOL

I hope you're enjoying the weather we have!

This is a Joe Mccoys wool field jacket. Very similar...

Thanks for the pic. Where did you find it? My jacket is on the quality of a Joe McCoy.

IDF bomber jacket, which has a nice cotton shell that weathers like old jeans, and a foldaway hood. Just right for today's temps (just below freezing).

Not long. Just about one and a half years.

Found a pic of myself going through a relatives estate, about 8yrs old in a little bikers jacket. Showed it to my wife who now wants me to get one so she can make a side by side portrait. Heh gotta love an excuse to buy a new toy! Who makes that awesome jacket of yours man?

On the Real Mccoys website. They only sell the jacket in navy wool now it seems.

1969 M-65, with a 1969 liner buttoned in (it's cold).

I love everything about this jacket ... except the crappy aluminum zipper. It's very hard to engage the pin all the way so the zipper teeth are aligned properly. I've owned two other M-65s, both with brass zippers. Never had any issue with those.

So far, I've tried applying Gulf Wax and graphite, but have had no success. Anyone have any quick tips?

Nice vintage M-65! I have a 1970 with an aluminum zipper, and so far, I’ve not had any trouble with it. I generally use bee’s wax on stubborn zippers, but I’m not sure it would work any better than gulf wax. Might be worth a try, though.

Broke out a 1970s varsity jacket today. Green and white, the colors of the old Beaufort High Seadogs.

I tried on this Levi's sherpa lined leather jacket/coat today, and fell in love with it.

Black Himel Frobisher this evening . . . .

Simple black cotton/poly-winterjacket, again. So warm and cozy. And lightly water-repellent Gabardine-shell.
