What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[ton312]

Seems like many loungers are getting a taste of spring. No different in Chicago. It just has that look. As do I, for the postman, who will be delivering my 4th failed attempt at a vintage square pocket HB today. Why I even bother I have no idea. I put on the Reg built and remember I don’t need anything else. In the back door:

Out the front:

No mail yet. So I can cling to hope a little longer. LOL.

All you need is this Reg and a few vintage pieces and you're good.

Yeh that's very nice. What kind of hide is that? Does this mean you're going to sell it soon?

No this one is parked with only two others in the area of the closet that jackets that aren’t for sale reside.

The hide is full aniline shinki of some sort. I let Regius pick, I wasn’t too specific. I trust his judgement!

Thanks to ClarkRC, I scored this really cool varsity jacket by Dry Bones. It’s very unique, zipper and snaps + no knit along the bottom. Very well thought out by some genius Japanese designer.

Was in Oakland today, killing some time at Standard and Strange with some Y’2 leathers! Their stuff is just stunning!
Um, Sorry about the mirror shots.

Very cool.

If you know, what are those two jackets hanging up high behind you? Thanks.

The price was right on this jacket! It was my first one from five star. There are a few things I would change. The arms are about an inch too long as is the over all length. I should have asked if the had bigger zippers as well. I also should have specified an arm opening measurement. Other than that I am thrilled with the jacket. I have read some horror stories about there old HH but the new stuff seems really great.

I don’t ride motorcycles. How could I possibly wear a cross zip without feeling I was doing a cosplay?

I see a lot of people who don't play football wear jerseys and they look a lot less cool than a dude in a cross zip.

Just wear it?
No one has ever asked me where my bike is

The Oxford cloth button down was originally created for polo players to have a robust shirt with a collar that would stay in place during play. And yet its use has spread so far beyond the niche as to become ubiquitous

You don’t need to ride a motorcycle to wear a crosszip. Or be in the navy to wear an N1 deck jacket or peacoat. And so on. But if the style feels inauthentic for you to wear, then don’t!

I dare not try on the Buco jacket, because I know I would’ve bought it if I had! Great collector piece!

Do not wear it. Plain and simple. Wear it if you feel like it. Make your decision dude. Too much drama... lol

Absolutely!

I don't suppose all the people I see wearing trainers or tracksuit trousers are doing sport. And I don't suppose anyone wearing a parka is on cold-weather military operations.

But you wear what you feel comfortable wearing. If a cross zip makes you feel nervous, you don't have to try it.

Alternatively, just get a motorcycle and then you can wear all the cross zips you want with total impunity.
