What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

1 year anniversary comparison on the LW j23. Yes they break in. Yes the graining is beautiful.

That looks great, I never thought I would be jealous of a one year old jacket, but here I am!

Picked up in Pendleton, OR while passing through a couple years ago.

I felt like wearing this Blauer sheriff's jacket today, it didn't really work out as a jacket for work and I just like it for some reason.

While my CMPD is off having the patchwork done I put the collar back on this jacket that it came from.

I have no idea, I bought it second hand on eBay. It’s labeled « Durable » but it is not a Toys McCoy or Kelso…. There would be a tag somewhere… besides the lining is not matching any of those makers.
My guess is it’s a Chinese repro, but… a good one.

I think it’s one of these. Have seen these around for a while and have been curious.

@Mysteryo hows the leather?

Thanks guys. I did a quick search. It's from a seller called " SportTogs" in China. He only sells three jackets, haha, the Durable, J-24 and the Hercules. Price is on the higher side for Chinese jackets.

Have been kind of overwhelmed lately and haven’t been keeping up! Two favorite recent wears

As we’re almost exactly the same size and there’s only so much wear one person can put on multiple jackets, I’ve been wearing in this cafe racer for @AerGuitar so he can see if any tweaks need to be made.

I’ve also still been wearing my cognac C2 a bunch, just hit the 3 month mark.

Looking very sharp! Love the jacket and the boots. What is your impression of Crush on Retro? I’ve been eyeballing their engineer boots.

They fit my feet great with insoles, leather quality is very good, but I did choose horween cxl upgrade. Very firm temper to the leather, roomy boot shaft so it's very easy to slip my foot in. Double stitching on the uppers, very even high spi stitching around the flat welt, very clean. If you told me these were $800+ I'd believe you. It feels very well made.

The roomy boot shaft is already forming to the shape of my leg.

Edit: Also in terms of sizing. I'm an 8.5D on the brannock and they suggested size 41 which fits me perfectly with about thumb width of room for my big toe, which is how all my boots fit. Width-wise for me, also very comfortable, very minor heel slip as well for me, the heel cup could be tighter but it doesn't bother me.

Nice! Thanks for your feedback. It’s consistent with everything I’ve been hearing.

I think you wear that one better than I do! Thank you for helping me put it through the paces
