What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Great find... congrats! Looking cool...

Looks like an amazing pattern. I'd bet it would look awesome in a good leather.

Thanks guys! Yeah, I think a leather version of this would be really sweet.

It's ok - the CR was ordered over a year and a bit before while I was locked down; I picked it up from the UK and now it's free to shock people in Wan Chai.

Love the caramel color on the first one!

It's more like a deranged tangerine ('derangerine') at the moment. It'll calm down (although if it doesn't, it's equally fantastic). I was lucky to get a batch of tan steer hide. It needs heavy rain and long journeys. Possibly beer and/or impressive cocktails.

"Aged tan steer"?

"Aged tan steer"?

I think so. Not sure if it's 'aged', but it seems to be the same tan steer that I've seen a couple of times here on FL. Thicker than fqhh, I think.

My new Type III in natural Vicenza arrived today. Even though I'm not wearing the jacket, the 'out of the box' images provide a preview of what is to come once it becomes more seasoned. The lining is the Tartan Royal Stewart which I think gives the jacket a more sporty look vice a solid color as my Navy Type III has. I went with the Copper buttons again as I prefer the more authentic look of buttons vice snaps.

A brief try-on confirms the sizing compared to the Navy Type III although the sleeves are slightly longer on this one. Once the sleeves begin their break-in the length will become more ideal and the jacket have a more broken in look.

Nice outfit man1

Thanks very much!

Probably no jackets again for me till mid September, because it's already getting into the 90's.
Aside from maybe a couple hours on an occasional cool morning here and there ,because it's been in the 90's all week.
California likes to start summer early and end it late.

If I do need a jacket, this will probably be it.

Schott 689 gives protection under all circumstances.

My beat-up olive Kadoya has been my grab-and-go this week. I prefer collared jackets but I find this one is very easy and comfortable to wear

Niiice. New? Can we see it without the hoodie to get a gander at the collar?

 

[sshack]

One day soon, I will finally able to get my hand through my brand newish A-2. But sadly, that
day is not today.

I was wondering why you would need protection and then saw the #$%^ eating lion urinal in the background. Really great Schott, but I'm left with so many questions

Every jacket pictured appears to me to a perfect fit. You wear each well and with little effort. I appreciate your top flight presentations as well. Quite a list of stars including 5 Star. I chose it as my like in that group, I recognized some expensive names in that lineup as well.

You do so well with all your photos. I always see you in vintage jacket, like a wool lined Hercules, green plaid.

Tried on this Double Helix 'Frisco'

Terry, it's always an honor for me to receive a compliment from you. Thank you very much for the kind words... much appreciated! Who knows, maybe one day I'll find a vintage leather jacket that meets all my needs... we'll see.
