What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Jonanah]

Regius again. This jacket isn’t perfect, but it’s so far beyond anything I own that I haven’t wanted to wear anything else. Why isn’t it perfect? The sleeves are a half inch too long and the back lacks definition. There’s extra material at the back of each shoulder, which is not ideal.

That being said, perfection is overrated. If you are looking for flaws you will always find them. They shouldn’t detract from your enjoyment of a masterpiece like this. This jacket is the reason I’m selling off a bunch of others. I’m not going to reach for another black half belt when I have this one. It’s super comfortable and luxurious. The only other black jacket I’m tempted to wear now is my cal and misc cross-zips.

TLDR: Regius again.

Dope flannel!

Jealous of all you peacoat owners without a white dog in the house

Nice!
I grew up wearing Lee Rider jean jackets. I was so bummed when they disappeared, and all I could find were the Levi’s Jackets.

Did you buy it used, or have they re-released the Lee Rider?

This one I bought used, but I think they rereleased the jacket under the Lee 101 label. I have the same jacket in a dark indigo shade (one size up).
The new one features buttons with "Lee 101" imbossed, while the older ones just says "Lee".
I like the paler shade and the smaller size better.
I prefer both of them over the levis type 3.

Quintal two tone suede shacket. Fully lined. Weighs an absolute ton. Personifies what I love about 70’s gear. The cuffs. LOL. So cool. Size too small but I’ll wear it happily open.

I kicked around buying this but I'm trying to restrain myself. I figured it was probably a size too big, which probably is the case if it'll be making it's way to @torfjord. Good to see it show up here!

There’s another in a 46”. I’m waiting to see the digits! This one I have to wear open. I can’t get the sides within 2” of each other.

Oh, it’s not a done deal, yet. I’m merely calling dibs on it. A jacket big enough so that Tony can barely squeeze into it but at the same time too small for him to button/zip is about the perfect fit for me, in my experience.

Cal & Cal:

Shoutout to @JMax for the link in the Finds & Deals thread. Seller only had the jacket listed, but said he'd throw in (unseen) matching pants for free. Waist is good, inseam is a little long, but that's a relatively easy alteration if I go that route.

The set was worn but must have been barely used. Every zip slides like butter. And speaking of pocket surprises, a Wallbergbahn Ullr medal was in one of the chest pockets:

Sweet Cal. And not the 6-panel so even sweeter. The jacket looks to be in great condition. Nicer than I thought. Damn, that’s a win for sure. Seller was on point and all for a very nice price. Few sizes larger and it would be in Austin.

The pants look great too. I’d get the alteration done. Can’t be too many of those still around.

If not, I'll take it

Too much of a good thing. Too much suede (arguably) and too much beard dye (definitely).

I had to do it. Looking back at some old pics I looked older at 47 below than I do at 50 above:

LOL. I smell a midlife crisis.
I am loving the two tone suede. Probably one of the coolest things I’ve picked up in a good long while.

Father time catches up with all of us eventually You seem to have a young spirit; that will show- even through the grey beard, thinning hair, beer belly, saggy ass, glasses, hearing aids and uncontrolled farts. At least it has for me I think

Swedish 50’s racer today. Maybe this was the inspiration behind this Thedi model?

There’s at least some similarities.

I am able to notice the dissatisfaction in your face!

Dude, how tall are you? You look like 2m or something. Maybe worth stepping a bit further away from the camera so proportions come out better.

and there's you....all grown up...............

I think it must be an English school thing. When at 'Middle' (up to 12) school shirt tails out, cap on backwards and socks hanging down. When we went to High school it was a young adult transition (smart businesslike)
