What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[TLW '90]

A couple weeks ago we had an 80°f day that started out in the high 50's , I wore the cooper A2 over just a T shirt to walk the pup around 7:30am and I was freezing.
That day I determined that the A2 really is pretty much just good for early fall.
Anyways this morning I decided to try pairing the A2 with the wool commando sweater, and boy does that really open up some possibilities for the A2.
It's very comfortable and much warmer.

I wasn't sure I could really wear much under the A2 because I don't typically like having anything hanging out underneath my jackets.

The jacket looks made for you!

I got it used. I am extremely happy with the fit.

My most recent vintage wool jacket pickups. The burgundy one is dated to 1939 thanks to @jeo but I don't know the maker. The brown one is a Sears Hercules thanks to info from @tmitchell59 and I think it's from the early-mid 40s

Thanks! I've been pretty lucky with finding so many vintage wool jackets in a year and a half

I think I was wearing the Spiegel. Thought it would be a good fit for the Ramones movie screening!

I have the Spiegel, the Cal and Kit Karson here in Europe, so I will be cycling through them. Cal again! Good weather for it. Not too cold yet.

I posted this on the Vanson thread, but I’m wearing it today so I figured I’d post here as well. Just arrived yesterday, a custom Vanson Ike made with Horween Pinnacle horse hide. I had the flap pockets removed, added the chest pocket, removed the sleeve zippers, and changed the oval waist buckles to rectangular buckles. I couldn’t be happier. It’s the most comfortable leather jacket I’ve ever worn.

Not your everyday. White Schott 641. Haven’t been wearing it enough, I think it needs to be much dirtier and worn-in to look it’s best.

But the pure white is striking. Really special.

I like the brown one!

For now just the deerskin vest.

Later this evening I will be wearing the USGI black trench coat while I'm hiding out front among my Halloween decorations ready to scare kids before they can get their candy.

Looks great as-is!
I couldn't wear it for ~ 30 minutes without getting it dirty.
