What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Will Zach]

In the winter we're having at the moment, that might work...

If you feel like giving it a shot make sure your chore jacket can take a liner and still fit you. A HK tailor should have zero problems fitting an M-65 liner in there. These liners run about $25 on ebay. I found my unlined waxed Gustin pretty useless, but with an M-65 liner it has become one of my late fall/winter favorites.

This is an excellent idea - the jacket itself is a really nice piece of gear, but it's weird without a lining (I wouldn't repeat the experiment...).

With an M-65 liner you won't go too deep into the experiment (financially speaking), and the jacket will be more functional.

I am now thinking about putting one into an 80's Carhartt trucker, because their "blanket" liner is absolute shite. Just remember to size down one on the liner - they run big.

Out of the box and on the back, at least for a pick. Trojan 1950s? View attachment 575091

That is a great looking design! What’s the back like? Half belt I assume?

It's a Field Leathers modified Route 66 in black shinki pony. Nice weight: 2,4 kg or 5.3 pound

Alcune persone li odiano... Io li adoro e possiedo quasi tutta la linea Aviakit e Roadfarer

Nice! Seen them on Ig. How do you like it? How is the quality?

New Schott B3. It's not cold enough, but I just don't care.

Jacket feels indestructible and I'm not talking about leather weight. It's just very well done. Tough. Sleeves are very narrow. though and I'm not yet 100% sure about how comfortable it will be in the long run because the leather is very thick but I can do stuff in it and if it breaks in more, it just might be it for me.

Based on this one jacket, I'd recommend them over most brands sans Lost Worlds & Vanson.

Ok, is there anything in particular I need to tell the maker when sending measurements?

This looks like a good solution - I will ask a tailor for options as I need a couple of shirts, anyway.

Oh, I don't know, I bought it from the classifieds here.

Either way, the jacket certainly looks cool
