What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

That's the example of mismatched battered seal HH (mismatched panels) used on the Neta Snook Southern coat

Hi Robbie I can't see the photos.

Looks good. Is this a new one for you? Is yours wool lined like mine? I saw one of those in the same colour while in Japan and it was really nice.

I really like my RC single rider and by posting yours, you have inspired me to wear mine today.

I purchased mine end of 2018 from a fellow lounge member from Belgium. Yes, it's wool lined like yours which is getting almost too warm now. RC makes really good quality jackets and the Shinki used is, I guess, from the same source Freewheelers gets the Shinki from. Glad to hear that I inspired you to wear yours which fits and suits you perfectly - if you don't mind you can post a picture. Btw. there are sometimes really reasonable offers (approx. 1000€ or sometimes less) on Buyee.com for new RC jackets....I was often tempted but always resisted.

I don't think that's mismatched, and would wear in. It's battered and creasing is normal. I had areas like that on both battered seal and battered tan jackets.

Here's my mismatched battered seal jacket. The main mismatched area is the right shoulder.

What do you guys think?

Wow, really really good looking jacket but I can't see the mismatched parts (all looks pretty much the same IMO)...I know I'm getting older....

Thanks. I am more confident about his leather then if the normal batch will look better than this mismatched one.

Ken told me it's a mismatched jacket. I will pose more photos when I have it on hand in this fall.

Have you received this jacket? This looks absolutely beautiful.

The whole jacket will look uniform within a month. It'll all get creased up very quickly.

How do you like their russet HH, seems much smoother than black one.

Inspired by @zebedee , Aero CR today.

No, I don't. I'm still undecided as I'm not sure whether or not it would really suit me. However, independently from my decision I think the coat is really beautiful and unique (@red devil -> could be also something for you...) and the mismatched seal battered HH is matching this jacket/coat style IMO. Price is rather high for an Aero jacket - here's Ken's statement: "We’ve not got to the pricing stage yet but it’ll be hovering around the £1000 mark, a lot of work, lot of leather, very special lining etc"

3 week home quarantine done, moving around outside a bit now, cautiously and with social-distancing.

Im much more of a brown jacket guy than a black jacket guy so this one suits me. Its still relatively new and has slowly started to crease up.. It will continue to evolve and be in a different phase this time next year.

Hh, l.w. russet on my ryder seemed very smooth at first but it did break to reveal plenty of grain and character. The smell on mine is amazing it is a very pleasant aroma.

Same here I prefer browns but I do want at least 1 or 2 blacks .

One thing to bear in mind is that the battered hides seem to get abraded in the construction process more than other hides.

The leather gets hammered and clamped quite a bit, and this leaves its marks. I don't consider these to be faults - the neck joint and underarm vent holes (which must have been super-punched in) are areas that might upset some folks, but they're probably part of the effect of the battering on the surface layer.

I actually have some plans for some interesting coats already from Thedi and LW
They haven't been finalised, but I hope to do so in the next couple of months or so
