What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Monitor]

Yesterday i soak and wear to dry, it bled blue dye alot on the soak, as im not familiar with the fabrics i dont know how much or soon it will fade, but for now it looks great to combine with jeans, very happy with how it looks.

Afternoon wore it the whole day , popped up collar

Remind me, who made that one? It's brilliant.

No, it's just that this is how my own kill room is set up.

Including your leather jackets?

the jacket?
it is a new one that I bought after getting home from that horrible X-men movie, it came yesterday the brand is wingman

just a note:
they include the collar (folded) when measuring body length, and the buttons are 6 not 5, maybe that 5 buttons type3 was the prototype, I don't know how they measure the sleeve in the chart it is 62cm, my measurement says 57cm but somehow it fits alright.

PBJ has their own version

I've just seen the Kendogi made from Japanese sashiko which normally is quite expensive but this one is just ~55 Euros (60 USD). Are the jackets handmade? Anyway, good looking jacket. Thanks!

what qualifies as handmade? one jacket made by one person like leather jacket? I have no idea, but I guess not since denim items feature different sewing on different parts (lockstitch, chainstitch, double stitch, different thread color or thread size) I imagine it would be more logical to have multiple people on multiple stations especially for ready to wear items.

just from what I've got here and also the jacket I got for my brother the other day, the sewing is nice straight no hiccups no strays or wavy lines, also clean from inside, no exposed raw edges, no hanging thread etc.
as with the price, that might sound cheap for euro or $ currency rate, but not cheap for local standard where this is mainly marketed for. for illustration mall denim jacket here is 1/4 of that price still.

my only concern is with their measurement, measuring the length of a jacket including the collar is unheard of, and also the sleeve being much shorter than spec, but luckily when worn it still fits OK. I think if you plan to get it, you better contact them regarding real measurement, I'm lucky I'm short torsoed for my height

and I hope the dye won't bleed with every wash, the first soak was scary, but I won't likely wash it often nor wear it in the rain, so I hope no premature fading

@navetsea , yep, the jacket. Thanks and man, that's dirt cheap for such a nice looking jacket and one that appears to be of premium quality. The jeans look really nice and the fades they've got showcased there are deadly. Seeing how it fits you, I'm definitely interested!

Wow.
Congratulations.
Stunning colour.
Confirms my choice for a 30’s half belt in this hide.
Will there ever be another midnight batch like this???

Btw just for size reference, i am 176cm and weigh 58 kg, i wear (size S) it has 96cm chest circumference and give me rounded shoulder like that, probably (size m) should be my natural size and the size I would choose if i were to buy a type 2 , but for type 3, I rather down size to get snug fit on the body gambling on the sleeve and body length.
My brother is 184cm and 86 to 88 kg althetic, took a gamble i ordered (size L) fit him perfectly including the sleeve.

Wow! Amazing condition for a jacket 60 years old. Fits like it was made for you. Well done!

I appreciate the kind words - it’s always somewhat of a gamble purchasing vintage. I lucked out with this one!

Also quite a few spots where teacore is showing through, although really it’s more like orangecore

My New peacoat/work jacket came in today. Perfect, comfy fit. Gonna give this a surface treatment and shine it up really good.
