What Jacket Did You Wear To The Beach Today?
Rained all day today, but yesterday the sun really brought out the rich golden color of this Indian goatskin GW A-2 Dubow.

 

[Marc mndt]

California Sportwear, perfect for layering over Christmas sweaters.

It’s Aero Leather’s Paratrooper sweater.

I've eyed that sweater for a few years, but worry the sleeves would be too short in the size I need.

I am going to LL Bean to check out their thermal henleys that have some wool component. The idea is to have only one layer under a leather jacket in weather down to 32F. Of course the jacket will have a quilted warm lining; we'll see if one layer underneath is enough. Most of my jackets are pretty close fitting and wearing a sweater underneath constricts movement in shoulders and make me feel like a sausage in a casing. It has been a constant struggle for me to solve this for winter time. I think the solution might be a 5* B-2 (or a @MrProper special) and a t-shirt, lol. But that would mean yet another jacket...

This is an exceptionally warm henley; I have the dark gray.

Once one achieves the maturity of mind to go Thermal one enters true layership.
(thankfully I have not gone to the elasticated waistband yet (please shoot me first))

Perfect for - anything!

I need to up my brown-jacket-game. This looks the bee´s knees!

Be sure to read their sizing guide. I would err on the smaller side if you want it skintight.

For me the sausage effect extends from shoulder through my arm on most of my jackets, it’s part of why I like the Filson vests so much. I have been considering the LL Bean commando sweaters but been leery because of tightness concerns.

I’ll check out those henleys you shared @Cornelius thanks!

The proper TFL solution to this first world problem is of course to buy a full size range from the same style/color jacket

Small medium large

@jonesy86 While sitting here in the office, looking out of the window, seeing only rain and dark clouds for almost one week now, I would appreciate it if you could use your cell phone filter "NO beach and sunshine" like @Marc mndt did with his elevator pic yesterday. This would definitely brighten my day. Btw. nice jacket as usual and enjoy the nice weather on the beach

@Marc mndt You already have such a wonderful vintage jacket collection and all three fits you perfectly. The middle one is my favorite one (I think that's the one you cleaned, preserved, treated a lot for making it look as beautiful as it looks now).

I’ve been wearing my sample SJC goatskin for a few weeks now since the cold arrived. Took the pics after walking half an hour in the rain. It kept me dry.

I layer it with a sleeveless wool pullover and have plenty of room. I wish the sleeves were just a tad more slim though.

@Robbie79 why don't you just head over to Zandvoort whenever wishing you were in Hawaii? It's nearly the same thing...

This is a Medium. I'm 5'10", 189lbs, 42" chest, 36" waist. I like the fit and the sleeves are a perfect length. Don't forget, sweaters stretch a lot to fit the wearer.

It's a bit modern, but an arc teryx delta lt pullover takes up very little room, and is extremely warm for it's weight. I've been wearing that, and a merino t shirt under a close fitting schott 689h(with quilted lining) and have been quite warm in mid twenties. Patagonia R1 pullover would be about the same.
