Even in single digit temps today the RMCNZ B3 kept me warm with just a tee shirt on the walk. I have been trying to wear this one more during the winter to get over the fear of marking the leather. Now that is taking creases and has a few wear marks it is feeling more like mine. Only way to get that worn in look is to wear it in.

I think that's Walter Dyer. Or Natal. Early one, either way. Fidelity had such model as well, with handwarmers instead of chest pockets but I'm not 100% sure... Ton will know!

My vote would be WD as well. Sweet jacket.

I'm wearing the exactly same stuff I wore some weeks ago, so I took a picture and made some comparison of how the leather is breaking in so far

Jacket and pants sure showcases quite a difference in cultures. Never really seen pant's cargo pockets placed directly over the knees. Interesting.

I take is as compliment HD, certainly I won't be jumping out of helicopter with parachute or any activities that requires purpose oriented pants or jackets, they are all for looks and has nothing to do with cultures either since I'm not even sure to what culture I belong...

Guess that the fashion designer never shot from a kneeling stance or crawled around on their knees when hunting. Clear case of fashion designers taking something from elsewhere, military in this case, and getting it so totally wrong.

no man I don't play pretend I'm going to crawl under some bushes harassing passerby or passing street cats with a BB gun. I put some coffee sachets and candies in them. and they are perfect for that.

Well I am certainly not criticizing or disapproving. I just see differences in clothing compared to most western Fashion. It may not have to do with any culture but just perhaps individual style. I really have no idea.

Well, your jacket is great, I like it. But your pants, good for a young blade like you but not so great for an old man like me with bad knees. I can just imagine those coffee sachets and candy digging into my poor knees when I'm sitting down. OUCH!

no offense taken, I just thought since I happened to wear the same jackets and pants, I can clearly compare how the body panel has "shrunken" a bit from permanent creasing around the waist since I've been wearing it buttoned and mostly sitting, and how the sleeves look a bit slimmer too with creases, maybe later when the leather evolves again to be softer, then it will gain back some length on the body.

well I'm 10 at heart but going 40 this year, but I do feel young

Cool inquiry, and information. I have not gotten into the whole jean jacket denim (Trucker) repro, or vintage scene. Still got a mall Levi's jacket that I bought raw, pre acid wash, or stone washed, pre faded, circa 1990. I wore the heck out of it for decades. Probably doesn't fit me very well according to the latest trends. It is long, and loose. Shoulders hang, but I have the length i like. It is an old friend. Don't know what it weighs but is is pretty faded, and used.

To get back on the weight-topic.
I weighed myself today with my old C&A suede-blouson (thick porksplit!). This jacket was always like a heavy tank on my shoulders. Weight 1,4 kilograms.
But nearly undestroyable jacket.

But, I still prefer my Denim-jackets.
Would you choose 800 gram-jackets or 1,4 kilogram-jackets, for most of the time?
