What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

I think we should ask if they’d be willing to be in the picture. That’s part of the fun! Getting to meet strangers in a time of “social-distancing”
Today, I will leave the house and give it a try. It’ll be 76F, so I should attract some attention in a leather jacket .

Welp, it beats taking pictures of attractive women on the street and then claiming to be a modeling talent scout.

You’ve done that?!?

Hahah, I have not. But I knew a guy who was a professional photographer who did. He would hand his business card out to all the pretty girls. I'm pretty sure it was his pick-up line, because he seemed to make most of his money as a freelance paparazzi getting pics of celebs arriving at the airport.

First time out with this Golden Bear x Shinola wool flight jacket. It’s super comfortable and feels great with temps in the 40s.

Schott. Sized 42, fits like a small 46. “Cold” today so I get a chance to layer a super thick, chunky wool sweater underneath. Perfect day to ride.

Thanks guys.

They’re also just amazingly comfortable. The arch ease is no joke, feels like plugging my foot into a perfect socket. These and a pair in brown dress with the traveler heel are my typical daily drivers.

If you need any encouragement, looks like they’re still 20% off at Baker’s Shoe

^^ A great deal and having purchased 3 pair of boots through Baker's you will not regret thier service. Kyle in Customer Serivce provided great fit advice for my first pair through them.

As for me today, not a jacket per se' but a Sidnaw Company waxed duck vest over a "Five Brother" extra thick red windowpane plaid shirt. The vest is expensive. The plaid flannel was $35 at our local farm supply store last year.

Vintage 70s Schott 42 with down zip in lining. This was the one I was considering dyeing black but that’s probably a bad idea given how much material this one has.

Something completley different today. Eastman M-422A "Popeye". Arrived yesterday.

A word on ordering with Eastman:

I wasn´t sure about sizing, as I have an older A2 (House version "Slender") that has become a bit on the tight side, and I wanted some room for layering. The assistance I received was fast, friendly and - as I have now seen - accurate. Delivery inside a week.
Eastman really has lovely packaging with
- a sturdy carton package in thick plastic wrapping as an outer shell.
- an inside box (pictured)
- then comes a thick heavy-weight paper sack with the actual jacket
(all a bit like a russian "Matryoshka"-doll, but of course a grand entrée to an expensive jacket.)

The whole package came with a flight-jacket book and a pin-up girl calender 2021 (not that my wife didn´t already hate the jacket itself enough...).

This is my second jacket from Eastman and I am once again very pleased with the service and quality.

A lot of us stick to just one or two styles because we know we can pull them off.

I've seen you in mc jackets, civilian jackets, Thedi's artistic creations and now this flight jacket. And you look cool in all of them! Chapeau!
