What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Maine in late October; cold, windy, rainy, fog & mist (gorgeous fall foliage on the drive up here!)….perfect place to wear a G-1. This is a Gibson & Barnes “Civil G-1” with deep, welted side hand warmer pockets, a super thick/plush mouton fur collar and very grainy, substantial goatskin. The civil G-1 also is cut a bit roomier than the standard MILSPEC G-1 so there’s room to layer a sweater or fleece underneath.

My new favorite the Schott NYC 118, man that naked cowhide so heavy but soft at the same time.

Circa 2010 Banana Republic chinos. Believe it or not I hunt these on eBay. They were made well then. Very thick and 100% cotton, perfect cut. I’ve developed a hatred for pants with elastic. It’s surprisingly hard to find pants without “action, stretch or flex”. I’ve got 5 of this same pair, about 5 more in other colors. They are dirt cheap on eBay and I buy every pair in my size that I see.

Agree completely. Quit wearing Levi’s because of that, went back to good ole fashioned regular Lee jeans. How do you determine if they’re 2010 era chinos?

They made these ones from 2008-2011. I’ve owned them ever since. The pattern from that era has slash pockets set more like work pants and flapped back pockets. Sad as it may sound I can also tell by just looking at the material. Around 2012ish they became thinner.

LW LT B today. May be the perfect riding jacket.

Wow! That's a pretty snappy looking jacket you have there. And each side has a different look so you got 2-4-1. A great find and a great look.

A Vanson Oxford in abyssal Blue Bainbridge. An elegant, but mean and slightly edgy jacket.

Sweet Vanson.


What are your thoughts on the Bainbridge leather? How much character does it have in person?

As Leatherbirdsoul said...sweet!

t has turned into an Indian Summer here in UK, beautiful Autumnal weather, so think I will pop out in my old generic no label repro A2 which I use for bike wear. Years ago I added the patches,, one that was from an American friend's club in Wyoming, & my old UK HD WL45 club (no longer functioning) and UK Indian club badge (still going strong).

I have to say, I much enjoy your posts. Good gear, but always some extra twist as well. Glad to have you here!
