What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[handymike]

I wouldn’t have purchased this jacket if it wasn’t blue!

You're in Southern Cali, why would you ever need to zip it? Looks great. I was looking for a blue CR, but with my FL move that search is now aborted...

Where in FL?

Fort Lauderdale.

Fort Lauderdale.

Nice, my playground prior to Austin. You will enjoy it.

I was back there recently for work and that place has gotten more packed in just two years. But, I grew up in Miami so it will always be important to me. And the eye candy is da best. Always have a pair of sunglasses handy lol.

@ton312 wow what an improvement! Night and day difference with the Urad.

Saw @jeo at a vintage market in Brooklyn and I walked away with a 1950s navy suede Sears Hercules sports jacket. Very good condition overall and solid price. Plus, the label and liner are mint. I know these aren't very cool and this one is a bit big on me, but its super comfy, a cool color, and from what I've seen, jackets like this weren't worn slim during the Era so I'm good with it.

Is that your closet or are you at a leather jacket emporium?

Fits you perfectly. That’s a sweet jacket. What’s the snap for that site between the collar and lapel?

Thanks! It adds some nice variety for me.

@Marc mndt that looks like a decent fit on you... just saying

I guess that's where the lapels snap onto the body. Looks weird though.

 

[handymike]

Leave them all un-snapped! These lapels deserve to spread their wings.

Amazing. The hide reminds me of my Sportclad. So damn nice. I was actually hoping it was too big on you but glad it worked out. Sort of lol.

Fits just like my 50s WIndward. Love how old jackets fit. You feel comfortable with the length?

Under this, I’m wearing a t shirt, a henly, and a doubled-over bathtowel. If I can survive the next 5 hours of housework, we might become best friends.

This is tight & possibly the only photo of you where the jacket doesn't fit you in the coolest possible way.

 

[handymike]

I know it’s a size too small, but I’m trying to see if it’ll “grow” on me. If not, it’ll be released to someone who wears a size 36.

I believe he's trying to stretch it, as he layered with even a bath towel lol

I see what you mean, hopefully the stretch/torture method works. Me on the other hand, The Schott is too short and don’t think I can stretch it longer.
