What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[photo2u]

Trojan jackets were just cool designs. Few makers were as interesting to look at. And not just the MC D-pocket, but pretty much all their styles.

Nice one you have there Caballero J. I was wondering what size is your trojan. I love the original belt on those. I got some very nice HH from Stu. I will be making my early 50's production belt. I have been using my LW j23 belt, which is not bad either.

A cold snap no kidding. It is going to be below freezing in your neck of the woods tonight. Balmy here, still flip flops and tank tops weather.

Freewheelers Journeyman in Olive Green sz 40. Finally figuring out how to style it although I'd like to wear it down further and maybe shrink it lightly. View attachment 556661 View attachment 556662 View attachment 556659

That really doesn’t look green.

Gracias. It’s a 44, perfect fit with or without layers. As you know, LW sizing is jacket dependent.

Haha. Yes, cold few days here and perfect for riding, even as the temps increase slightly. If you are lucky, you’ll have maybe five such days all year. It’s good to be gone but absolutely understand the allure of the place. I do love it when I’m there and settle back in quickly.

Lee Storm Rider, 60s? Probably from a thrift shop.

It looks as though the actual name is olive drab. There's brown finish over a green flesh on this Shinki hide. I don't know if freewheelers finished this leather themselves but it's very unique. Here's a photo where you should be able to see the green poking through the collar.

Edit: I posted in the wrong thread again. Double oops. A bit rusty after the infamous Slowdown of 2023.

Interesting. Thanks. It’s a beauty jacket.

I’m into Yes but looking at getting into King Crimson also. What album would you recommend to start with?

Working day today and to help me withstand the coming storm, this carcoat from the REDSKINS brand (FR) when it was in great shape (mid 80s) in sheep fur and cowhide leather. Great design, very warm and elegant.

You could try In the court of the crimson king, Discipline or The power to believe.
3 different lineups with 3 different vibes.
All of their 70s albums are great imo.
Beat is probably my least favorite.

Id go for the period 81-84 period of Discipline + Beat + Three of a Perfect Pair. My favorite King Crimson period.
