What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Tomwiththeweather]

Bit below freezing this morning, broke out the B3. This one's nothing special, made by "Van Johnson" according to the tag, but I paid €70 for it and it's the best bang-for-buck in my collection.

Indeed this is one of those jackets that will never leave my collection. I highly recommend it. It feels great and gets compliments most days. Most importantly it feels good, smells good , and such beautiful hide with the brown tea core coming out.

Looks absolutely stunning!

It’s getting repetitive, but look at that hide!

Keep me in mind if you ever foolishly decide to sell that!

Man I see so many good looking c2 s it is tempting. The only thing stopping me is that I have wide shoulders and short arms for most size 40

This vintage red Bates arrived yesterday and it sailed up on my top five. Such a fun jacket to wear!

New (to me) cheap and cheerful Leather Monkeys Maverick (LL Lightning copy). Find the sizing of this kind of jacket really hard, might be the lack of gussets…

Thanks, but my wife would murderise me. Maybe in a year or two.

FYI the shoulder is way more forgiving than you’d expect given the stated measurements. Gotta give that action back it’s due.

The ones sold through my shop have shorter sleeves by about 1” across the board. But you could always snag a cheap used standard one from Japan and get the sleeves shortened for much less all-in than a new one from Vanson or me

There's something wrong with me
I suddenly like bomber jackets.

Wasn't one of your first jackets posted here a bomber style? Maybe from 5 star? Would be full circle for you
