What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[ChewingWax]

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

It’s true. Good point. I rarely get asked where my plane is when I’m wearing my G1

 

[ChewingWax]

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

You’re right. Thanks.

Perfect

M65.

It's a repro not a real one, because I wanted to wear it as a jacket and not live in it with my whole family.

So this is a trimmer fit than an original, but still gives that great capacious feel.

It's Sherpa lined, with cotton twill in the sleeves, so nice and warm even when not layered over anything more than a Henley and a Western shirt.

I’ve been on the fence about getting a 618. On the one hand it’s such a classic, on the other hand I’m worried about it being too boxy. This does tempt me though…

I’m a big fan of it

Penney horsehide, probably the flight version of the Sears square pocket!

Just a little critique here on the Y’2 shirt-jacket. I have to say, this piece as compared to my Iron Heart HH shirt is so much nicer and more refined. The fit is actually better than IH (although I can’t believe I just admitted that) The fact that the Y’2 is completely lined inside (the IH is not) makes a huge difference, in terms of comfort.

The only thing I do not like about the Y’2 are the snaps. They might have gone a little overboard with their ornamental style. If they had used, simple silver or brass snaps, I would’ve bought one of these beautiful Y’2 shirt/jackets a long time ago. What do you guys think?

They are a focal point- maybe you could paint ‘em.

If i worry about what other’s think about what i’m wearing...i’m worrying about me way too much!!
Wear what you are...not what you think others think you are.
Life’s short...others don’t make it longer.

I sometimes wear crock and socks around the house and I’m not an IT, computer or cyber guy.

A couple weeks ago my uncle saw my pioneer wear western trucker and said " hey John Denver ", he's probably the type who would jokingly say " Eyyyyy ! " or " hey fonzie " to somebody wearing a black cross zip but most people probably not say or think anything of it.

No clue why he connected a suede western trucker jacket to John Denver ( probably because he knows nothing about country music ), but as a diehard fan of classic / real country music I wanted to set him straight about that pop folk singer.
Instead I just laughed and said " sure, whatever " because I know he just doesn't care.

someone else told me the same exact thing. I think the problem with the pale rider is they used the wrong leather. It's supposedly veg tanned, but I have my doubts. At best it's combo because it has all the CXL qualities or whatever veg tan formula they used is not very good. No signs of it softening up which would be nice for a "shirt" so you get some drape. Instead it wears like a tortoise shell. I still like it, but it definitely can be improved next go round for sure.

I personally like this Merv - wonder if the snaps would look a little nicer if it were black instead of brown?

Finally getting a chance to post some photos again. I have been wearing my jackets a lot, just not not taking many photos. Finally got a mild, sunny day so went out near a lake and took a few. First up is a relative newcomer, the "US-Made" cafe racer. Review will be coming soon.

Sun was a little bright to see much for details on this, so with my other jacket I have been frequently wearing I turned around in the same area.

Perhaps it's a comfort to Stuart that some of us wear his creations in wooded areas at times.

Happy Saturday all!

Greetings All:
Dropping in with an old Cal straight zip Pig jacket. I bet this cop, with a sense of humor, was really pissed when someone came at his jacket with a blade. Whomever stitched it up must have been a heart surgeon.
I Bin’d this so fast for about $75 several years ago before i saw the railroad track scars and never tried it on. Ashamed because it’s a fine old Cal but kinda cool looking still.
I laughed when i saw the pigs carved under the badge and back of kidney panel. Gotta be a great story behind it. Prob involves “my best friend’s girl...friend, that used to be mine”. Cars78’
Be well Bowen
