It's funny reading back that thread. A lot of jackets mentioned there have since been sold.

Not sold but chanced my mind (which I do all few weeks) LOL!

That’s got to be the nicest Aero Highwayman I’ve ever seen. What a score!

It’s really funny reading this thread and counting all the jackets that have since been sold

I don’t think, selling your „all time favourite jacket“ is a contradiction per se.
I sold my all time fave after years and years of love as it never „really“ fit. I repeated with the replacement when I outgrew it.

It gives me pleasure to hand over something I really like when I feel my time with it is done. If you love something, set it free…

We already have a thread on the subject

Is there a way to delete threads?

I don’t think so, except the mods can do it or merge threads.

Yes, really. I have sold two of the ones I mentioned in the meantime. Instead, I now have two new favorites lol.

I think so, too. With every jacket you buy, experience and the desire to do better with the next jacket increases. There are probably only a few forum members who hit the jackpot the first time and find their "holy grail" jacket. In addition, there are probably only a few members who are satisfied with just one jacket. I was looking for my "holy grail" jacket for years until I had to realize that I'm not the single jacket wearer.

Tweek the title a little and you'll be ok....such as : Never sell while standing on one foot.... or while eating waffles...

exactly that.
Just as I don't always walk around with the same pants, the same shoes, the same vests, I don't want to have just one jacket.

What will you never sell… until you change your mind in a month

Whenever I started looking at leather jackets the RMC Buco j-24 was something that I dreamed of. I thought it was too expensive and that I would never spend that kind of money on a jacket. Instead I ended up buying other jackets. I went through 3 Schott jackets, 1 Simmons Bilt and 1 Aero jacket before I realised that none of those jackets would give me quite the same feeling as the j-24 would.

I ended up buying the RMC Buco J-24 (new fit) and I have never loved a piece of clothing as much as I do with this one. This one is a keeper and I will never sell it.

The J24 is my single favourite style of any jacket

I don't sell my jackets I consider them children and luckily I only have 8, I want to see how they would grow up later with new creases or faded spots, some I wear more some I wear less but i still wear them all.

 

[handymike]

I won't sell my GW Imperial. It is my only custom ordered (new) jacket, and the whole experience was awesome: from designing it to the custom dyed leather, original NOS zips, buttons, and even the re-make. John was a total pleasure to work with, and I love my jacket.

My two current favorites are a Schott and a Vanson. Subject to which direction the wind is blowing.

Schott 118

Vanson Model J
