Vicenza, if I'm not mistaken? But the jacket's been soaked.

IH trucker is very nice but I'd always rather pick Aero's version. Especially at that price. They got the look of the thing just right. The length, sleeves... I dunno, just looks so cool.
Oh, and I just realized I forgot to give credit where credit is due - the jacket and the photo of course belong to @technovox !

So I'm currently trying out a pair of engineer boots (John Lofgren Short Shift) and was curious to see how they looked respectively with a russet and black jacket. Some TFL members say they feel that black engineers with a black Mc jacket makes it look too much like their doing biker cosplay. I wanted to see for myself.
So I know these jeans are a bit too thin for the boots, but that wasn't what I was trying to determine. It seems to me that the boots looked fine with both jackets. No biker cosplay vibe. Perhaps it is the more stylish cut of the Lofgrens. Anyway, thought this might be interesting to share.

The lofgren look good. I’d say if you feel comfortable wearing that outfit go for it.
I think an immediate way of looking less marlon Brando-y would be to wear trousers instead of jeans. As you say, the boots call for a fuller cut or at least a less aggressive tapering.

I wear black leather jacket with black engineer boots around 80% of the time and have never felt like i was cosplaying.
Saying that i see how it can be a thing...
I have walked passed people wearing brand new shiny engineers, brand new crisp selvedge denim and a nice stiff shiny new leather jacket and i agree that in this case it can look like "an outfit/disguise" rather than just a person wearing casual clothing. I get the same feeling when i see people dressed in vintage workwear from head to toe, but with no sign of ever having done any work in them.
All my boots are scuffed and worn in, so are my jeans, and i do my best to break in my leather jackets before i wear them out. (IMO Nothing says "mid life crisis" like a 30 something man in a brand new leather jacket! Make it yours before you wear it out!).
I think that once what you wear clearly shows it is lived in, you will escape the cosplay/caricature vibe. It's not cosplay if it looks like you wear it everyday.
(Personally i would not mix russet and black, it looks wrong to my eyes.)

Apparently, life expectancy has really declined in London of late.
Good to know it's confined to that side of the pond. Meant to say the boots look good btw, with both the brown and black jackets.
Average world male life expectancy is 68, most developed countries are between 70 and 80, meaning midlife is somewhere between 34 and and 39 isn't it?
For some reason google tells me a midlife crisis is most likely to happen between 45 and 65, i would call that a 2/3 life crisis...
You might suddenly decide you hate leather and discover yourself a passion for knitwear...
They do super chunky yarn you know?

Good grief!
I innocently come on here to post a photo, and suddenly I'm old and rickety and probably having a mid-life crisis!
Well, anyway. You can tell I'm an old geezer just by the state of my beard!
This is my new Richa Daytona, which I'm wearing around everywhere to break it in a bit.
