What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Technonut]

Had a chance to wear my Aero AN-J-3 yesterday evening, and VERY early this morning for walks to the store (medium rain both times). Damn, did the rain make a nice difference so far IMO. It was like new, and now is loosening-up quite nicely. This is some substantial goat, the arms are creasing-up like a HH jacket. May even have an edge to the Indian goat I had in a couple of A-2's from GW IIRC:

I was sure I was going to grab a cross zip today but went the ELMC J100 instead.

Perfect fit! Tough to beat a J-100.

My new old Langlitz Cascade in what appears/feels like goat hide. Please weigh in if you can tell, it might be lightweight cowhide. Very cool and comfy, a little tight in my mid section when zipper, however, a great summer jacket.

Fairly certain it's cow.

@Thuggee what leather is your Goodwin?

Clayton Vintage Brown horsehide I believe it’s over dyed or similar, Dark brown with light brown peeking out from underneath, either way it’s going to look amazing with some decent wear to the leather and jacket

I second that. I own two Langlitz jackets, both medium weight cowhide, and they look very similar to the Cascade you posted Corky. I see more of the creasing I associate with cowhide than that even pebbling that I associate with goat. either way looks like a great jacket!

I'd like to see some fit pics of this very nice looking jacket.

Hey HD:
Ha, been doing the same with the Antique Steer! Don’t feel so weird now. Learning from the Master!!
Your Battered HB is looking sweet. Your Steer is still stiff and amazing hide.
Be well my friend. Bowen

Marked 1983 in the pocket. Medium weight cowhide in dark chocolate brown. Smells like Langlitz. Bought from a seller technovox and wondered if it was our @technovox ? Wondered if it was too tight then saw the fit pictures.

Yep. I sold you that one. Shucks- I should have just posted it on TFL, but I typically don’t see a lot of interest in vintage Langlitz jackets here. Honestly, I also wasn’t sure if it was goat or cowhide. The hide was thicker than goat and it didn’t have the pebbly look of my goatskin Cascade. But it also didn’t have the stiffness of my Langlitz cowhide. And before I could call Scott at Langlitz and have him look it up, it was sold.
Either way, it’s a good looking jacket, in amazing shape for being around for 35 years, and I would have kept it if it only fit. I’m glad it went to a good home! Looks good on you!

New USA made Carhartt Detroit - much better than the imported ones it seems. Nicer duck cotton and no loose threads. May get more wear than any of my leathers, I suspect. I am six foot two - this is a medium tall.

Killer jacket Seb. Would you mind posting the chest, shoulder and back length dimensions? From where did you buy the jacket? I really like the brown version!

Nice one Seb! Where did you buy it if you don’t mind sharing it. Cheers.

 

[Seb Lucas]

Measurements as requested: Carhartt Detroit Medium Tall. Pit to Pit - just under 23 inches; sleeve 27 inches; shoulder 19.5 inches; back length 27.5 inches, front zip 25 inches. These are probably my ideal measurements for a half-belt too.

Australia unfortunately produces no workwear jackets of any kind that aren't made of florescent nylon.

Those Carhartt jackets are outstanding, and so under-appreciated by most people!

I’ve been wearing the Santa Fe style jacket, and it’s replacement the Bankston style, about 8 to 9 months a year, for almost 15 years! Not the same jacket-- I work hard on the farm, and they only last a year or two.

They are cut in a “roomy” fit, and at 6’ 1” I wear a medium regular.

A couple pictures taken Saturday of my new Aero B-10. Strangely, the color in the pictures is brownish, while it's a dark olive in person. The temperature was around 20°C, so I just popped it for the pictures and quickly hang it back when we were done!
