Similar to putting buttons and badges on leather. I never wanted to in case I ever wanted to trade or sell one..,….and then one day I added blacked out stars to my Schott 618 and I said well it’s already technically been modified. Maybe I’ll just make this one a forever jacket and add one. 15 badges later and holes all over the lapels. But now it’s truly mine and only mine. I’ll never sell it now obviously but it actually feels nice to have something that I know will be mine forever and no anxiety over it’s future.Pat
Patching up denim jacket is dangerously addictive not kidding.

Another outing for the McCoys Nelson - starting to look nicely broken in, but sadly also getting a bit hot for heavy leather jackets here too.

With this beauty, why would you want a Schott?

this is one of the jackets I have since many years. I bought a lot of Vanson HH jackets back then because their patterns are great. I was never able to find out why the HH jackets were suddenly no longer available.

thanks a lot
Haha, you know, I do love Pizza, but I get a nice steak once in a while too…
.Seriouly, thanks a lot! The Lightning is a great jacket. I got lucky with this batch of horsehide too. Pretty hefty and nice grain. Not that vinyl-like texture later iterations seem to have.
Still, by now it fits a bit on the tight side which restricts wearability when I want to layer. It’s also arguably a wee bit too short.

Bravestar yesterday. Modern update of 101j. Touch long i think. The original is a touch short for my height and preference. The search continues but I still like this one.

This HD one pocket is the tightest in terms of measurements yet it's one of my most comfortable in terms of movement, it wears like a tshirt.

Awesome CR. I periodically forget that that I sold mine and look for it in my closet. Lol.

Wearing the perfect spring jacket for the northwest, the lightweight but blanket lined El Americano from Mister Freedom.
