What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Even perforated CW is nice to look at. An old friend returns. My favorite riding jacket and just in time for the TX summer.

Wow those turnkey buttons are crazy. I’ve seen those on something other than a jacket but I can’t put my finger on it.

Who makes this?
I have seen similar fasteners in a completely different use: tarpaulins / trailer tarpaulins / heavy tents... Probably not what u are looking for, but possibly the shown "knob-turn fasteners" are based on this.

Franz Miederhoff is a manufacturer of this variant.

OK, "is it black, is it brown?" Cal arrived today. Looking closely at it, I'd wager it was black and has just been heavily worn. Shoulders are a little big, but I was expecting that and it helps the shortish sleeves extend to a normal length. What I didn't expect is that the waist only just fits with the laces removed. It's about 6 lbs. Here are some quick and dirty pics. It reminds me of nothing more that a 50 year old baseball mitt.
