These 2 are my fav, since these 2 have the greatest visible evolution stages I can monitor, and also after wearing cross front, it is very hard to see center front jacket to look interesting when worn open

Most of the jackets I will never sell have a special moment attached to them. For example, I lost the "bear" Aviator Schott type I got stolen in the mid 80's. Of course, I repurchased it again.
However, my favorite is the Mid 40's Crisco russet HH. This jacket has been in my collation for more than 30 years. I love what Cresco calls "dual action sleeves" I also like the elegant touch at the wrist. A close second is the s first production Cal leather HH CR. I even purchased another one from a fine gent but of course, it did not fit but my daughter loves it. The leather on these CR is in another world. I personally like the #10 conmars Cal leathers used on those fine jackets. 70 years later and still working perfectly. Lastly, my first Buco j24 I purchased in 1979. Loved that jacket. One of the best I have ever seen with the original collar mouton.

Oh man! I’d love to talk you out of that Cresco!

I honestly still have a problem coming up with my favourite ten jackets so my favourite two....

There are some jackets I prefer to others, there are some that fit better than others, there are some that are better made then others... True. But overall I like most of my jackets, maybe the fact that most of them are custom in some way, have a story, makes it impossible for me to pick just two.

I used to buy and sell on regularly but haven’t moved any ‘keepers’ in the last few years. Probably got the wardrobe right at long last & quite an expensive journey it’s been too…
