What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Excellent, helpful and informative. This is why I love TFL & people who know exactly what they're talking about; The stiff kidney panel is something that I never considered in regard to the Chopper, yet have had to put up with so many times before & was equally annoyed with it (I can't remember which jacket it was but I swear, they put a plastic sheet into one!).
So yours is that sort of Comp. weight, huh... Same as the Model A that I had, circa 2018, also from TB. It wasn't an option for me since the moment I unboxed the jacket, as nice as it was but yeah, that's me.
Could you tell me, is this one from Vinted also made in the same leather as the one you got?

And thank you for the review, of course!
Hmm, the one on Vinted has some noteworthy differences from mine:
- Red quilted nylon liner vs. Black cotton
- lettered sizing vs. Numbered
- brass hardware vs. Shiny nickel
Leather is not really telling with the resolution, but it looks more matte than mine.
Looks good as far as the eye can tell (I much prefer the hardware to mine!). If you can live with the price, I’d say give it a go!
Interested to see how this turns out!
I just see that the status is quoted as “New”. Man, that’s a good deal here!

WWII 10 button. Call the urologist! I gotta pea problem.
I spoke with Charles today. He has some exciting plans for home grown peas at HPA, along with an entire catalog of other stuff…so rather than hop on the buzz, I am waiting for his release. If there’s one thing I love, it’s supporting small operations based in the US, recreating the great outerwear of the past!

Skip that man, you’ve already ascended the peak of the pea coat mountain. Impossible to top that one.
This one has a few issues. Overall solid but you know how it is. When you are on the spectrum like I am, you take all the way home.

Just checking out the results of some tlc for this 50s/60s white label Harley Davidson cafe Racer, which arrived to me this week with a quite significant cigarette smell attached to it. A bath dip and soak, the drying/wearing process and a coat of Pecards later and I'm really pleased with the results (and am now able to wear it without feeling like I've smoked a pack of 20). Luckily this time I managed to do it without any drama as per another of my threads. Here's some pics for anyone who's interested -

Have a look at Gliptone GT11 as a conditioner, see what you think.

Superdry again, and out hiking in the woods again.
Excellent fit over what proved to be an unwisely-chosen thick sweater, as of course after a few miles at a decent pace in warming up conditions, I was too hot.

More Schott spam from me.
New Perfecto I picked up, I tried this on with a slimmer sweater underneath, rather than the hoodie I wore in my original fit picks, and it looks significantly less boxy than it originally did. As others said, it will hopefully break in even further to conform to me. I liked this piece and now it's growing on me further.

Gorgeous colour on that piece. We don't see suede too often here.
