What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[MrProper]

What's up guys. Any thoughts on whether I'm pulling off this FH SR or not? I like the fit and love the jacket but the sleeves... Always going to be an issue with me with stock jackets because of my height. I treat it with the old "don't give a shit" mentality but I secretly do care perhaps more than I ought to.

Also, this is probably not allowed but check out these engineers I just found. Likely from the 60s or 70s?

I'm not a fan of short sleeves at all, but it looks really cool on you. It has a bit of a rock star attitude. I'd say you can wear it.

A bit of a cold snap here in the UK this week has meant it was -2° for my walk this morning, so I layered up under my (yawn!) M65 with a thermal base layer and a quilted liner vest.

I'd love this jacket to look like it has a bit of wear on it, but even though I'm putting plenty of wear on it* it just doesn't.

*literally every day since I got it. It shrugs off everything.

From a trade with @Corky Corcovado. 70’s Levi. Despite being 40 years old the pile is still more plush than a new model. For you purists it also lacks handwarmers. Interestingly it is tagged a size 42. Just fits me in the waist. I am not a 42 in anything modern. 40 tops. My new Medium has much less taper.

I can’t see these jackets anymore without thinking about Frank Gallagher from “Shameless”.

Gabardine makes for such a nice drape and feel in a jacket. Not too heavy not too wimpy. I'm surprised more half belts don't surface vintage or otherwise.

I think I finally found the jacket that inspired this jacket that I tried to buy and have re-made. In the end however, it was simply too far gone. But I still like the style and function and would still enjoy having something re-made like this one...

Fun photo from a rainy Christmas party - outdoors - just after some fireworks this evening. Got the Langlitz Columbia pretty wet, but I stayed nice and dry. Frosty sure liked the jacket...
