What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Mickiemac]

This Comipel HH is what is listed as unfinished HH at Aero. It has always existed in parallel with Vicenza.

Yes, I saw that option and do recall that Canuck Panda commissioned/received a jacket in that hide. I think he posted an image of the back along with a few others. Thanks for your input.

What Mr Proper said. It is just their unfinished / raw horsehide, Comipel Italy is the tannery name.

As I replied to Mr. Proper - same here. Really nice hide although I'd be petrified to wear something so capable of picking up anything just by wearing it. The pale green slacks/trousers/pants/(shorts??) do look festive and complement the tone of the jacket.

The lighter shade does pick up a lot of dirt and marks very easily, even the copper buttons leave dark marks on the jacket. However, things do settle down with time. I find this shade of leather works really well with olive pants too.

It is a Special Jacket for me. The history always add to the character of a Jacket, gives a place in time. I do have a Sears bought in 1951, but this is the only jacket that has a reference to my birth year, 1952.

It is rare to get a story with the jacket.. I don't ask much anymore. I'd be curious if some one got it at a thrift store for $20. That too, is a great story.

Thanks for being the last leg of the Journey for this Monarch. I say that because the fit and features are so correct for me. Hard to find or replace at any cost.

Any story on this secret agent zipper pull?

 

[AerGuitar]

No, unfortunately that was never mentioned and I only noticed it the day after I left the area. It is interesting though

Old school bathroom photos with the Vanson C2 firmly secured, fits nice and feels like it’s going to be easy to wear . Time will tell if this one knocks my Schott 118 off the pedestal I placed it on., but my initial thought is that this one wears better unzipped.

And yes, that is indeed a pair of shorts. Haha

Looking trim and fit, jacket looks perfect

Not actually the wrong side of the forum because I’m wearing an RRL chambray shirt. (Also the lounge suit itself was originally workwear!)

You quickly pick up that Sportster. I have been trying to get one in my size since the 2000. Jmax sold one in pristine condition at a screaming deal, but lost focus on the sale and someone beat me to it. I still have my first one, I got in 1979 when I was a young hard worker, I wore it for more than 30 years. As a CR jacket, it wears more like a racing shirt. Light and fitted. Personally, One of my favorite riding jackets.

Like I always say, a fit body can make a cheap jacket look good, and it can make a quality jacket look amazing
