What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Went swimming at dawn, did some yoga/meditation sun salitatuons, and introduced my new Thedi to the Hawaiian beach.
77° F water temperature, 66° air temperature.

Schott 613SH, still stiff and crisp from the factory floor this morning.

So I finally got my hands on this beauty from Field Leathers... The Route 66 in brown Shinki Hikaku pony.

Jacket looks absolutely made for you. Great fit. And beautiful leather.

 

[navetsea]

congrats, its look really cool, usually I dislike band collar that is vertically sticking out like so, but somehow the way FL does it makes it somewhat unique and works, size is perfect and front hem drop is cool too.

leather looks so good, awesome fit too. Your collection is getting better and better!

Interesting, the sleeve zips are on the outside. Kind of cool looking that way.

My trusty Levis leather trucker. One of my favs! I wish Levis would do more stuff like this.

The zippers on the outside of the sleeve is standard for Route 66.
I actually don't have a good photo where you can see the detail well. Lol
Even though I like it on the Route 66, I had the zippers on my other jackets all done on the inside of the sleeves. It's more subtle somehow.
The zippers on the sleeves of the R66 please me from the feel extremely well. Only the threading of the main zipper is quite annoying and you have to be very careful.

Edit:
Still found photos of the zipper.
Since you just can not tell if they are outside or inside

Late 50s/60s Hercules (truth be told I can never remember what label it is as I post the pics. Pretty sure it’s a Hercules). Unremarkable, stiff leather but it has very nice slim tailoring.

Wow, what a cool jacket. Absolutely awesome. And look at that hide. It doesn't get much better than this.

Finally in low 30s so I broke out the lost worlds B3. This jacket is extremely cumbersome, maybe because it’s not broken in yet but it is a bitch wearing it in the car also sleeves seem about a half inch to short for my liking bust still get the job done I now know why airmen in the 40s switched other less cumbersome jackets. I like the quality of this lost worlds jacket but for 2100$ I think THEDI and AERO would be better bang for buck. Still love the jacket

I just received a Pony Hide Vintage jacket and ask myself if anyone uses Pony Hide. I did not now until you posted this Fields. The Old Pony can vary from being very soft to being like regular HH.

Do you notice a difference with your new Pony over regular HH?

I got off work today and the weather was just about perfect for the Woolrich barn jacket.

about 70° with overcast and a slight wind chill.

Another day, another G-1. Got this one off eBay for 80 bucks, made by the San Diego Leather Factory (1980’s manufacture). Great fit, amazing workmanship and truly superb goatskin! Not 100% milspec accurate but close enough, with great additional features (hidden side-entry pockets that are surprisingly useful and two interior pockets). Thick mouton fur collar, heavy duty brass Ideal zip, and wool knits. A really nice G-1 that gives you plenty of bang for the buck!
