What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Epic. Perfection in leather in my opinion.

Thanks, i made a wristband from left over cutouts that ive been wearing to do chores at home this past 6 months, and gotten it wet many times from frequent handwashing protocol we are practicing these days and washing my dishes, and it has turned darker and grainier, i hope the jacket will someday have some parts looking like this.

Sharkskin.

Even its grains look menacing

It’s really cool. Tough, resilient yet feels nice to the touch. I may have a holster made in it.

Just delivered, I’m exceedingly pleased. It will require minimal TLC to turn this into a stunner. Cool to have the jacket Aero based the wayfarer off of. Time to double down on my vintage hunt. These jackets always, without fail, exceed my level of joy vs new.

This original is better than every repro I’ve seen. Very good find!
Note to self, hit the gym and look for vintage jackets!

That subtle two tone is so cool. Fits like a glove too. Awesome!

Very cool to see. It looks like a proper trim fit with just the right amount of wiggle room. Little man in the back wondering what you up to this time

I let this jacket hanging outside my room facing my backyard to get indirect sun and humidity, for a week, felt cold and damp inside when I put it on after i shake it thoroughly upside down, checked all pockets, living in the tropics means insects will claim anything you left untouched for a period of time esspecially outside. But it also pays off

I think it grows abit more grain and slightly darker again.

I love how it evolves, spectacular results!

It gets better and better, thanks to your care! Congratulations, that’s a work of art

thank you, happy to see it evolves and taking picture to compare with previous picture and see what grows

It gets better and better, thanks to your care! Congratulations, that’s a work of art

thanks, since my "covid victory" cross zip jacket has no news, and my country took a worse turn into the pandemic saga, this "covid jacket" darkening is a perfect metaphor

A bit off-topic, but those boots are amazing. Who made them?

Not wearing but post Urad and admiring. The hardware is remarkably clean given the level of wear. Main zip is as new.
Upon inspection of the halfbelt it looks as though this machinist was spent after the front design.

Those stitches weren’t done some time post production!? Given the quality of the rest of the jacket, it seems hard to believe the original quality control would let it out of the building. Still, very nice jacket.

I don’t think so, but it’s possible. Not sure who the maker of is and given it’s at lest 75 years old….not sure how tight the QC would’ve been.

They are by White Kloud. A one man maker in Japan. He is the best bootmaker in the world without question (unless you include dress shoe makers who also make boots.) You have to order in person, but it's an amazing experience. I'll make a post about this pair soon.
