Your favourite jacket - RIGHT NOW

[dan_t]

Ok, just for fun, what’s your favourite jacket, right now?
I emphasise the ‘right now’ part as I know my favourite switches frequently.

‘Right now’ this gorgeous heavy Steerhide Cordovan Highwayman is just perfect (until I inevitably change my mind & reach for another!)

I’ll second the notion!

Heavy steer cordo 50’s HB. Best I’ve ever had times a million!

denim included?

Another great idea for a thread dan!
My current favorite is my new LW CHP.

I have been wearing this jacket every chance I get since it arrived last Tuesday. I would like to say that this is going to be my favorite for a good long while, but stay tuned for further developments.

Why not?
As long as it's YOUR favourite (right now)...

I think this is my current fav, i wear it the most, it is nothing special online shopped off the rack 14oz indigoxblack, i took in the waist a little and did something to the sleeve a little, i like the inky tone and the creases it makes, and the button fades from black to brass

My cross button Thedi. In fact I sold most of my other custom jackets because this style seemed so right on me and a pleasure to wear. An antique gray cross zip Thedi in this style will be arriving very soon.

Aero fqhh brown Highwayman. First Aero I bought and my favourite all the damn time:

Great idea. This means we can repost in the thread when our choices inevitably change

I know that most people are saying that my black Mulholland is my best jacket, and I definitely cannot argue with that. However, my current favorite is definitely still my deerskin Freewheelers Sunset jacket.

It’s a perfect match!

Aero Half Belt CXFQHH is my favorite. When I dress him we become one whole.

Right now my favorite is my Bates racing shirt. Purchased from the original owner who bought it new in 1968 and did some track racing and hill climbing through the 1970s. I’m hoping to get some pics from him wearing the jacket at races.

The simple design and padded shoulders and elbows make it different from my other CRs. It’s also unlined, which makes it a nice choice on warm days. Add in the history, and right now it’s tough to beat.

You guys need to live in the South. If so, I imagine your favorite jacket today would be the same as my favorite: A short sleeve T shirt. Don't even want to think about a leather jacket.

A few weeks ago, I got a vintage heavy (28 oz.) Woolrich red plaid hunting coat. If the temps were in the 20s or 30s, that is what I would be wearing. As it is, I am stuck with my T shirt.

 

[dubpynchon]

Right now it's my Eastman G-1. It's light and easy to wear due to the bi-swing back. It's my excuse not to cross over to the denim camp as well, as it's probably lighter than an Iron Heart denim jacket. Not a great excuse but I'm trying to stick to it.

This is a great thread, but I can't answer.

Gamma,
sweet jacket and it fits you very well! i'd love to find an old Bates w/ dress collar.
how'd rejuvenation process work out? you had written about stiff-ish and dry(?)
i brought that recently acquired Sportster back best i could. wasn't too bad but also a little stiff and dry. used Lexol as i figured i needed penetration.
best,
mike

For me it's my Eastman Irvin, even though I can only look at the moment, it's still my favourite
