What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

amazing grain

thanks, it's not as richly colored as your cordovan coat though.

If I wanted a CXL again, I would definitely go with tumbled. Nice jacket.

thanks, the tumbled brown and black versions I see always look good

Tumbled CXL is the way. The more I see it, the more I believe it.

i prefer veg tanned leather but always liked CXL and this one is the best CXL I've handled personally. the shell is rather soft already but they used a thicker panel for the sleeves which I appreciate greatly.

Looks great per usual

Fit was the smaller part of it for me, although yes I did feel that it was a little short on the front and sleeves and it was starting to get uncomfortably tight across the shoulders. Still, that was just the tipping point for me. I love the jacket from the front but really didn't like the stiff kidney panel. I had considered a while back having it removed but felt like it would be a risky surgery, and something ineffable might very well be lost if I did it.

I actually took the Bates today to my local leather tailor for the same reason - Stiff kidney panel removal and cutting the tail off it to make the jacket shorter at the back - but being smarter than I am, he advised me not to ruin a perfectly good jacket with a very functional feature & I have to admit it's been keeping my back warm this winter.

Besides, doing this would literally turn it into I dunno, Excelled. I mean, it's a much more quality jacket but they all look the same.

Same jacket, different shades of black

Thanks! I almost forgot that. I remembered using Blackrock on my first lambskin jacket because it was too stiff for me at that time.....

Must be from the time before you changed your name to HH121, the power of a name...

This Himel Heron really is a comfortable weight and design for the stormy weather we are having lately. But when it rains like this I get all dressed up with no where to go.

thank you for your compliment, I love that jacket, basically my only denim jacket I don't sew patches on.

Saturday - 5* Cossack. I love the way this jacket looks but will probably be moving it on when I get around to it as it's just a bit too tight in the shoulders and arms.

Today - Johnson Leathers M200 custom

My new Thedi custom order. I have been wearing it everyday since I received it about a week ago, very happily I might add!

Anyone have a thought as to which picture in the WJAYWT thread has the most “likes” of all time? Just curious. Lots of makers and styles seem to get “Likes” but perhaps photo composition pushes a good jacket over the top.

Nope. No idea. That’s got all the elements though.
