What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Wasn't one of your first jackets posted here a bomber style? Maybe from 5 star? Would be full circle for you
Well remembered. This was my first 5* jacket. But I wouldn't call it a bomber, although it might even belong in that category ;)
What bothered me about the jacket was the loose waistband that was sewn in completely without tension. But the leather probably wouldn't have been supple enough to be blousier.

But I've decided not to buy any more leather jackets (maybe a Baracuta G9 in suede? LOL) because I already wear the ones I have too little in the 5 months of jacket season. And I'm well supplied with jackets :)

I felt like wearing this " blanket lined " big Smith today.

It's a bit of a more generous workwear type cut, but I'm okay with the fit and quite like the denim on it.

Plus my first denim jacket way back when I was 5 or 6 had the corduroy collar and pocket flaps.

"The weather is nice today, not too cold—perfect for my slim RMC J-100. I’d say it’s my favorite jacket in my small collection, but my wife would probably disagree and say, 'You always say that about all of them when you wear them.' Maybe she’s right. But this particular J-100 is the one that started it all. It was the first jacket I bought outside of the big retail stores. It was the first jacket that had a distinct smell and fit perfectly. This jacket sparked my interest and began my journey into jacket collecting. So, yes, it holds a special place for me."
