What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Got out the Buco for a chilly weather ride. (Down into VA for a gathering of Vincent owners! I am not one, but a friend is. But I told him my jacket is probably about the same year as his Vincent!) @tmitchell59

Cool. At first I thought it was Bruce Willis)

I have long had my eye on an Aero Highwayman, but didn't think it would work on this SOF. This Premier Highwayman showed up on TFL classified. Kudos to Mandarin who was a true gentleman to work with, corresponded like a champ and we worked out a deal that worked for us both. This is indeed a great community of enthusiasts. I like the pattern and the horsehide is rich, and has been well broken in, but obviously well cared for. Also, to me interesting is that this jacket was originally a Thurston Brothers Aero jacket and had made its way to France. Thanks to all who have helped this jacket arrive.

Ogri would raise a pint of the brown stuff

Finally, a one star that's wearable. I always loved the bold design but at less than 22" back length for the 42 and hardly any front drop there was no way to wear the jacket casually. Great to see that they've added a couple of inches.

Size looks spot on imo. What a badass jacket, congrats.

Thanks Marc!

My thoughts exactly. There are very few real-life photos on the web that show jackets that actually work. The ones posted by ButterScotch are among those, which made me reach out to them.
Had it on again this morning for a walk to the bakery in misty, drizzly autumn weather and felt perfectly fine with it.

I brought the Regius with me on a city trip to Edinburgh.

Great Photos, and such a great city! Edinburgh and vintage workwear just go together like Bavaria and Beer. If you pull it off like you do, of course.

(Let´s all toast to the late Prince Phillip who allegedly once asked an Edinburgh cab driver how he managed to stay sober long enough to pass his driving license...).

bit chilly today morning, in low 30s. tshirt with TRM B-3

...any delusion that this is a motorcycle jacket one needs to let go of.

The dirt track guys like that jacket design. Not sure why. I have a DT605 (the bike for it) but have never raced dirt track and those days of thinking I might just give it a whirl are behind me.

collarless jacket feels much nicer to ride in than a collared jacket, especially band collar, the back part digs into the back of the neck, and the front is secured with a snap so it can't expand, basically the more you lunge over the fuel tank the less oxygen your brain gets, maybe that was the untold reason behind so many accidents on the board track, they just blacked out at top speed choked by their own jacket .
