What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

A stroll in King of the Road. Don’t mind the camo bottoms!

Bouncing between my vanson E and vanson chopper, both competition weight but the E is the best comp by far,the chopper is much lighter/softer , still great though. Also thrown into the mix is my belstaff Montana, awesome jacket.

Bought this carhartt jacket new a couple years ago and somehow ended up with one that’s US-made. I actually (regretfully) got this one off Amazon of all places. Be assured I don’t shop there anymore lol, at least as much as I can avoid it. I’m not sure if it’s just luck of the draw or if there is a way to intentionally source from their modest domestic production. If anyone has an answer let me know! I know the famous Dave’s New York carries their US-made double knees. At any rate, the jacket is so comfy from being worked in, though I don’t wear it as much as I should. My job supplies us with carhartt jackets but they’re trash—long rectangular patterns that are terrible to move in.


The overalls are the sadly discontinued (as far as I know) black duck Iron Hearts. These are constantly scraping branches, asphalt, etc, getting coated with mud, and still look barely worn. Just insane quality. I especially love the hardware on the sides (pictured below)

Two beautiful Vansons. I was wondering a few things about their quilted linings. Are they really thick (warm) and how long lasting is the material?

 

[Peter Mackin]

The quilt lining is very comfortable here in Scotland, I've certainly never overheated ,its also very robust so i cant forsee any premature wear issue.i have 3 other Vansons and they are built like tanks.

I know this feed is all about leather but, I just had to post one of my favorite chore jackets from Hen’s Teeth Italy.

Monday Monday. Himel Pinecrest in Italian cowhide thanks to @Momein with Brother Bridge Tokyo Henry in Himeji-tanned Dutch calf. The overloaded bag is a Bleu de Chauffe Lucien in veg tan chocolate.

You look cool. The bag deserves special attention

Truly one of the nicest Cafe Racers on TFL.

Bonus point for the library picture with “Razorblade Tears” S.A. Cosby is one of my favourite contemporary novelists.

I’ve heard Cosby is good but haven’t sat down with any of his books yet. Will have to rectify that!

Jacket: Vanson C2 by DudsbyDel

It’s a beautiful bag. A bit pocket deficient but wonderful as long as you don’t overload it like I’ve been doing.

This is stating the obvious but the ELMC Californian is just a terrific jacket. Not just in looks but in comfort. Here’s mine in Havana paired with White’s Stitchdown Cruiser in navy horsehide.

No one asked but this website was the most promising source I could find for US-made carhartt, and of the two actual workwear items listed both had a note indicating they couldn’t promise US origin due to Carhartt’s “blended inventory.” So I guess it remains an open question how to reliably source that stock.

This Reddit thread has some interesting info on carhartt’s foreign and domestic production, but it’s four years old and limited to the US and Mexico
