What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Will Zach]

^^First of all a great jacket. In Christmas colors. Ho Ho Ho! regarding length, need pics without underlayers showing. But eyeballing it, yes.

 

[Hayes Nash]

Yes. It should be perfect with those changes. Are you keeping the points on the cuffs when you add the leather?

 

[TREEMAN]

Spiegel. Back from lining and zip replacement surgery.

Great pic Will , you always have the perfect backdrops be it inner city or country settings....you put a lot of thought into your locations. Jacket looks great too ....

Thanks @TREEMAN, appreciate the comment. I am trying to follow some guys on TFL who are really good at this, but I have ways to go.

There’s about 1.5-2” of wool folded under the hem of this jacket. It’s going in for leather sleeve cuffs today. Should I have the hem let out and lengthened end as well?

Do make sure your tailor adds a strip of material if he's going to let the hem out. You need a bit of (inside) hem for the jacket to drape well.

I took out the seam ripper. The hem will have to have something done to it, be it leather or wool or just rolled by 1/4”. I’ll have small leather triangles added by the zipper to square the hem. It feels better. Something like this for the finished product. Too much work for a $29 jacket but this is about all that keeps me entertained these days.

Quick question for the collective. There’s about 1.5-2” of wool folded under the hem of this jacket. It’s going in for leather sleeve cuffs today. Should I have the hem let out and lengthened end as well? It’s a 24” back, 1” drop as it stands. I could realistically get another 1.25” of length. Worth it or no?

These blanket wool half belts are awesome. Wish they make a comeback in the Polo line up again. I had a quilt lined one before that got too many moth holes and it was one of best winter jacket I've had. Very tempted to have one of my old Bay blankets sewn into one of these half belts.

Might as well take your own photo once you do - Or did you model for this stock photo?

Lol! No it’s a stock photo. It’s probably the best pic I’ve seen of a 141.
I fixed the original post.

This is mine with the down hoodie.

After 10 years of searching for a vintage Bates jacket that fits right, I've finally found my grail. The bonus is the color combo - looks like it belongs in an action movie.

What Jacket Did You bring To The Beach Today?

With the winds up to 22 mph, and higher with gusts, and waves pushing 6 to 10 feet, cloudy and raining off and on, I chickened out on my swim yesterday. Hat and coat did make an appearance none the less. After chasing it down the beach, I had to quickly ditch the western hat for a cap that would stay on my head. If I don't get this GW Capeskin A-1 out of the closet this time of year it molds quickly.

Great jacket but tell me about the bike!

Thanks. It’s an Italjet Ascot Sport. Hand made in Italy. Not the fastest bike, electric assistance when pedalling to 25km/ hr max, but as you can see, beautifully finished.
