What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Observe]

^ I like the way the back panel starts to crease, that gaping open pocket welts also looking nice and lived in, nice collar too, only that cuff tab seems too close to the edge for that kind of cuff adjuster

Agreed, I've only ever seen this type of adjuster further up the sleeve.

I have playing card deck stuffed on the patch chest pocket and construction site metal measuring tape inside the coin pocket since the jacket was new.

Never leave home without construction metal measuring tape and a fresh card deck. You never now what life throws at you, hey.

Your pupils seem a bit dilated - maybe some eyedrops might help. However, the jacket fits perfectly and is becoming more seasoned with each wear. LOOKING Good!

LVC. Fit looks decent to me, but the jacket feels a bit like a movie prop, in part due to the artificial distressing. Liner ripped as well after a couple wears, which isn't great.

That fit is spot on perfect!! A little Urad will brighten it up and hide the faux ageing. I’ve heard the liners in these were quite delicate. Same with some of the LVC line Aero produced…

Amazing. Your vintage collection is in the running with one or two others for the one I would ask Genie to make appear in my closet. Great style and rarity in great condition.

Still off work and shlepping around in jeans tshirt and jacket. I will try to make more of an effort for NYE, but for now I’m just enjoying how a good leather jacket gives life to otherwise a very ordinary outfit.

Are you seriously wearing a 2000 dollar jacket to do manual labour in a scrap yard?

1200 but yessir, weather permitting. Why buy workwear without putting it to work is my thought

l would like to thank Marc mndt for his advice regarding urad. I bought a tub for another jacket that I have always thought was a little flat. It worked a treat. I then plucked up the courage to use it on the D1, incredible results. The jacket is approx 25 years old, this stuff has brought new life into it . Thanks

Only it is not workwear. It’s fashion inspired by what workwear looked like a century ago. A lot of people try to fool themselves that they aren’t buying and selling fashion items, but “workwear”. But let’s be real here.
You are of course free to use your expensive fashion jackets in any setting you wish but if I were to do manual labour in a dirty environment I would use actual workwear, something like this:

 

[RossRYoung]

Couldn’t disagree but more but hey, that’s what opinions are for, right? Surely this jacket can function as ‘workwear’, because that’s what it was designed and intended for. It doesn’t need to be vintage to be workwear. Would you make the same statement if this was made by say, Carhartt or Iron Heart?

Yes, I also wear my high visibility when needed. In fact, I need to wear it now, gotta go empty the dumpsters in the landfill.



Btw, they’re terrible jackets that really only have the function of being obvious.

I always say that if a leather jacket can't take it, it shouldn't have been a leather jacket.
I am thus in the team "do with it what you want, but do not babying it".

Hey, it’s a really nice jacket and I was just a bit shocked that you would subject it to the potential of damage like that. But certainly only my opinion.
You have a different one and that’s alright, it’s your jacket.
