One of your best looking outfits, so far. Especially with these wider trousers. Nice to see you are not wearing your usual „Strumpfhosen“ (for english speakers „tights“) - LOL!
LOL, the tights will stay ;) But it doesn't hurt to have a change now and again.
Great trousers! What are they?

Was just going to ask the same thing. They're really unusual and interesting.
These are „pleated denim“ from G-Star RAW. It's a relatively thin denim fabric from Italy. Reminds me a little of the workers' trousers of the past.
I have it in black too. Funnily enough, I had the same blue and the same cut 30 years ago. My Elwood with a similar cut still fits me, and it's 20 or 25 years old.

Taking what I consider to be a cool opportunity to break in a deadstock Lee Stormrider. This one is early 70’s with real wool Alaskan lining. This is the high water mark of my Storm rider collection.

I’m really looking forward to making this my own.

Tony, every time i see you post your return to Storm Riders i think of your generosity here at the lounge.
It reminds me of the Storm Rider you GAVE me when i bought the Aero aged steer CR. You prob don’t remember.
It’s like…you’re back with that old girlfriend that you shared with me.
Nobody has EVER done that before!
Man, had i known i would have returned her…it.
Oops

I think at the time I wasn’t ready to accept the length. Times have changed but that jacket couldn’t have gone to a better guy!

I consider that to be the ultimate denim jacket. Please keep it (or sell it to me)!

Thank you! I had a 74 850 Commando, it went like stink! The tork, the sound… sublime. What year was yours?
I also had a ‘74, the best year. Front disc, rear drum, no electric start (never worked, added weight). Ridiculous orange/gold metal flake factory paint job. Here’s the only pic of it I have, sadly it‘s blurry.

That’s awesome! I never liked electric start either. The only picture I can find wearing my Langlitz Crescent with dress collar (gotta keep it jacket focused).
