What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Man you can really see the follicles on that batch of comp weight! LOL. In all seriousness though I’ve always wanted to try the force. It’s a kick ass design.

I was like what the eff, follicles?!? My Vanson is broken and I got ready to examine the jacket. Then realized what you meant.

It’s my third Force. You know the drill. This one stays since I had Dena install a RiRi 10. But the Force does nail what I want in a comfortable and functional riding jacket. It’s awesome.

Scavenged this Schott 618 from ebay for $250. Seller from Japan. This one has the brass color hardware and supposedly brown steerhide, but looks black to me. Size 38 and maybe a tad large. From the tag, it appears to be late 80's-early 90's make. Barely broken in... I will take it from here. Ample room for layering and attitude.

Looks great man! I see what you mean about the size from the back somewhat. But as you say, with layers will be even better.

Langlitz Timberline. Tried out wool trousers for the first time in a while. I liked it, will need to keep experimenting

Dug out my old Lightning. Was thinking about sizing up, so it didn’t get much wear lately. With the recent price surge, I can’t be bothered to buy new, so this will be a T-Shirt jacket.

Still my favourite Cross-Zip bar none, and even the standard horsehide on this is very beautiful (old batch). Very reminiscent of my Schott 613SH in temper and looks. Not quite as „luxurious“, though.

Second picture is a shout out to all the aging Metalheads out there. ;)

I wish this was mine!
Breaking out my Aero Hercules that arrived yesterday care of Thurston Bros.
Black Vicenza lined with Alpaca, perfect fit for what I was after...a winter coat with room to layer...thankfully its still chilly enough in the evening for it to get at least some wear this year.

I'll post better pics and a proper review this weekend hopefully.
