What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[sweetfights]

Thicker than CXL, softer and teacore! It truly is LUXurious. Might well be my favorite Horween offering.

Thx. More photos please!

It is. Not hard to wear though. If this were CXL I don’t think I’d keep it. One thing I’ve found is that soft leather is far more forgiving in a tight fit. Doesn’t feel like a burden to wear at all. Feels like a thick Brooks CR.

They are, in the same buffalo check flannel. Doesn’t help with the diameter issue. If these were 1” wider this would be the best denim jacket I’ve owned to date. Really pissed about it. LOL. Oh well.

Ton, how much does it cost? I just have skinny hands))

Rediscovered. Himel Nipissing Rider. Can’t believe that I forgot about this beauty for almost 9 months. And it’s not even a year old. Anyway, haven’t taken it off since I unearthed it some days ago.

Tbh I’m not sure...I bought this one second hand. SB does stock this hide so I’m sure they could make one. I’m not terribly familiar with their catalog so I’m not sure how far this deviates from the standard roadster. Might be as simple as zip sleeves vs the standard false cuff...I’d have never thought to try something in this hide personally as my mind is generally one track for CXL. This seems to have all heft, maybe even more, without the rigid/angry nature that CXL has before break-in (and often after). That said there is nothing I’m looking forward to more than midnight blue V2!

I think the car coat is one of the more difficult styles to get right. If you don't get it right, a car coat can easily make you look like in old man.

But you nailed it! Great jacket, great fit!

I had these thoughts)) I thought I looked too old from the outside...but you have dispelled my doubts, thank you for your kind words!

Looks great on you. I always go back to Matt Dillon in Drugstore Cowboy for car coat inspiration. Its a much underrated style.

Speaking of which, I always forget the model number of the Schott cross-zip car coat they did in the 80s. Need to set-up an eBay auto search for that one.

Looks great. Aero makes a very nice coat. Just make sure to never wear it with sneakers and you don't need to have any doubts!

 

[Alexlutov]

Yeah he's a tough guy.

Today the jacket was worn outside for the first time at 10 degrees Celsius. Ok, I left the zipper open. very cozy.

Freewheelers Wigwam. This style goes back to pre-zipper days of the 1920s. Sears catalog picture 1926

Been a long time since I posted anything here. Never seem to find the time to take any decent pics recently. Anyways, lots of Aero gear today, grizzly jacket, tweed trousers and fair isle sweater.
