Bring on the fit pics

Wearing my, just received with thanks from @Gav, Eastman Californian. Was a bit anxious about sizing (this is one up from my usual size) but I feel that this fits OK - there's room for layering but I'm not swamped - from these pics what do you guys think? What a comfortable jacket it is though - I'll have to find something that goes with it better than an ancient Playboy t shirt.

Must be cold over there to warrant a jacket like that!

At the moment it's always around 0 degrees Celsius. And I like it warm. And I like it when I only need a shirt. And the jacket is less warm than you would think. So already warm, but not hot. lol

New snap makes all the difference! Thanks to all for help and advice.

Your's looks great! Surprised it has not been sold yet (they are getting pretty hard to find and your's is half the price of most I have seen)

Los Angeles in the 40s. My shearlings keep getting wears. Crazy thoughts, I might buy another.

Just sold to a good home. Will get proper wears now.

Plenty of Butwin Chicago and NY style police jackets. In black, green and blue. Some look nice. I like the vintage labels on some. Others are more contemporary.

Vtg Lancer jackets in nylon pop up from time to time. One out there now where I am waiting for accurate measurements. These type of jackets don’t cost too much.

But yeah, an Oakbrook, Beck, 50s HD in the satin-twill is unicorn level hard to find. Anything they made in leather was probably an option in this material. Mine weighs a pound. A damn pound.

Darn right. And salute the bike as I ride on by!! I’ll fake like I didn’t see you, unless you don’t salute. Then I am stopping to tear you a new one. Lol- True story.

What Jacket Did You Bring To The Beach Yesterday?

I noticed that this GW Ventura has more in common with my 40s-50s Sportsclad than with my 50s Californian. I really dig the 4 inch collar, and the wrist straps.

The winds swung around to the East North-East yesterday at at least 25mph and brought a few glimpses of sun. Big swell, choppy waves, and major rip currents kept me out of the water. I won't be going into the water for a while now anyway. I stood up too quickly to get up and take a piss in the middle of the night the other night, took a fall and cracked some ribs. Gotta keep an eye on the BP, and have the doc tinker with the dosage of my BP meds, as apparently it has been too low.
That's cool, there are a couple old men out there every day who don't get up from their beach chairs too often, I'll just fit in better. Give the lifeguards a break from having to make sure I don't drown.

Here we just throw the Shaka whether it is good bad or indifferent, it works for everything. Someone cuts you off in traffic, throw the Shaka, someone yields to let you into traffic throw the Shaka. Someone says hi to you and you have no idea what their name is, throw the Shaka.

sorry about the cracked ribs, sound like a perfect timing for "leather vest" to give extra support on those ribs so they would be healing right...

Yes, please take care out there. Or like Navetsea said, good excuse to buy an armored jacket by JL or Vanson. The PJ edition. Seriously though, take care.

Thanks guys, it only hurts when I laugh.
I am thinking of working up a Five* project with padded or armored 2.2mm leather, something like this:
