What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[ton312]

The opposite of Jakes high water mark for Sears for me today. I’m just thrilled to actually be wearing a jacket this AM. Won’t last. This jacket is perfect for warmer temps. 2.5 lbs of thin and stiff leather. There’s just something about this jacket. While leather shop era jackets certainly deserve the reputation they’ve earned as junk, this one just hits different. Out the door this am in the $23 leather shop and I’m loving it.

Just perfect in every way man, I'd love to see one of these vintage Sears up close. I actually really like it zipped as much as unzipped. Just the way they were worn, slightly fuller more classic proportions all round.

Thank you! Part of the issue with it zipped is that it got caught on my back pocket so I'll fix that next time and see if it looks better. I don't mind the overall fuller fit, though.

This is indeed the Fried Ostermann version from either 1941 or 42. Well done, looks fantastic!

You can tell just from these fit pics? Please do reveal!

@ton312 I like how that one looks a lot. Shorter than you normally go for, but I like it.

It's all in the Herc thread but the cuff design, liner (N/A here), side buckles, and label are different on these.

So for my jacket it's the cuff design and side buckles that give it away.

The flat head single rider and RMC type a2 this week. Was not able to access Fedora pages most of the times this past week. Did anyone had same issue?

Just love the cut of the RMC, think they got it spot on with this updated model. Hope to pick one up in the seal brown for myself next year. Yeah big site issues for me, pretty much all last week.

Yes, updated specs is also the main reasons why I bought this (model 220, longer length) and it’s only type A2 I have. They just posted on IG about this year’s release of model 220 in seal brown so, keep an eye on retailers…

Picked this up. It's a heavy HH, tee or shirt only.
Brown starting to creep through.

Hei i like this local replica of m65, also nicely sized for me, there is some weight in the material too and looks like it may look better with more wears, generous lapel too.

Haven't posted in a while now. Forum has been very slow to load for me in the past weeks. Some days I haven't been able to access it on mobile at all and I mainly come here on mobile device. Anyone else having issues with that?

The site has been acting weird for weeks, but for the last couple of days it has been better.

I have to dump site data a couple times a day to run the site on a mobile device.

It was down all weekend and just came back today. It seems much better for now. Hope the folks running the system have gotten all the quirks resolved.

I do not notice any significant improvement. Sometimes it works, then again extremely slowly, then again not at all.
Maybe I should take a few days break from this site

Site is back to normal, I think.

Post your jackets people.
