What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[breezer]

Perfect weather in Scotland today for my Aero A2 Bronco.....the past few weeks have been unseasonally warm, but the cool breeze and clouds returned, so normal service has been resumed.

Levi's wool "Trucker"?
Now I got time to browse around all the Vintage clothing stores and buy stuff that I don't need.

Love that!

I just got this vintage padded cafe racer in this morning (by Bates.) I know...I know... the sleeves are too short. But I don't care... the jacket just oozes attitude. (Sorry about the selfie pic...)

Looks awesome techno! I was a hair trigger on that one myself but coward away at the numbers. Fits you like a glove!

Great fit, could you perhaps share how much give you have seen in the leather through the body? I remember and could find your original post describing just how trim the jacket felt, the pictures are there no longer for comparison. I recently acquired a Ridley, it fits tighter than any of my other jackets through the body, tricky even to get the zip started.

If anyone else would like to chime in with their insight into how this style of jacket should fit to begin with it would be greatly appreciated. I don't ride any type of bike and layering is not a consideration as I have other jackets for cold weather.

Cheers

Picked up my 3 year olds first bike yesterday. So this morning we were on our way out for a ride at 7.15. Hence the fresh face [emoji58]
At least the Hooch-Hauler looks good!

Sweet! That SJC shirt is killer too.

Yep, I was on the fence at first, but these old school racing Bates jackets rarely come up and then disappear quickly, so I pulled the trigger. Thankfully it fits... and it's definitely got some serious vintage mojo!
But I really think this one would have been way too tight on you, Ton.

Captain, did you know your bandmate Mr Dave Vanian is a loyal Aero customer?

I think that looks excellent. I like a bit of a stripe on a leather jacket, although bitter experience has shown me time and again that I simply can't pull them off.

Thanks! It’s my first SJC item and I really like it. If I have to complain about one thing the sleeves are borderline too short for me, but I have rather long arms so that’s rather usual for me. I only pray they don’t shrink in the washer!
