What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Marc mndt]

Can I have some opinions on the fit of this jacket? I'm second guessing myself, because although I love the fit and closeness to my body, I think it looks a little long in the torso. I have unusual body proportions (short legs, about 28" inseam at 5'11-6'0), not sure if it's the pants or what but I feel it makes my torso look a bit elongated and my legs a bit stubby/stumpy.

Thanks all!

i think your jacket fits you fine, pocket placement also looks cool, perhaps wearing pants with some break on your shoes and shoes that is closer to the color of the pants will make your legs longer. some internet guide probably tell us to match our leather color from jacket, belt and shoes, but I believe leather jacket and shoes doesn't have to be synchronized, you better match the shoes and your pants color

Boringly, it's the Superdry cross zip again today, layered up even further with a massive hoodie because we're back to sub zero temperatures.

IMHO, the jacket looks great on you. I would ditch those khaki pants and match that jacket with blue jeans.

I hesitate to even post such a crappy mirror picture, but just want to take note of finally getting to wear my Dave Sheeley custom for the first time this year.

Spent the last few weeks searching high and low for a new “proper” riding jacket. I’m usually not the type to brand match a jacket to the bike I’m riding, but I landed on this Braddan Air Race jacket from Triumph. I’m pretty impressed with it. Full suite of D30 armor in elbows, shoulder, and spine. Antique brass Talon zips all around. Perf leather moves some air. The jacket keeps a nice slim profile with the armor, and I don’t feel like a moto gp racer or a football player like some of my previous bike jackets.

That jackets fits you perfectly and yes, the new armor is certainly a big upgrade over the old stiff, hot, heavy stuff.

Mister Freedom "Frogman" jacket for an unseasonably warm day. Underneath is another eBay-sourced vintage flannel, this time from Pendleton. Few holes in it and the sleeves are too short but it's 100% wool and I love the camp collar.

Very good fit, IMO. Shouldn´t be longer, but absolutely no issue here either. Looks great, overall!

 

[Al 916]

Haha, didn't mean it like that!

I do think I have a bit shorter leg ratio than usual. Believe usual inseam that I've seen around my height is around 30-32" when I have pants that go all the way from 25" (stops just at ankle) to 28" inseam (ones I'm wearing in the photo). I get a bit self concious about how clothing affects my proportions.

Thanks for the feedback so far, everyone!

5'10" with 29" leg (I have a long trunk (apparently), a hollow back and I'm a low down bum))......short legs...rock it and roll with it...

This morning I still thought to myself, the jacket might be too warm after all. But no, perfect.
Actually I had hoped that these days my new D-1 comes. But unfortunately no progress in the status.

I had a 50's half belt in Connolly. One of my favorite hides.

I know what you mean about brand matching, but that Triumph lettering looks nice on the front, as do the stripes on the sleeve. Nice mix of classic looks and modern protection.
