What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Michael A]

Just awesome! That outfit is rocking.

Ha ha, thanks barnabux. Had to throw something together to try out the 1970 Florsheim boots.

Great sheep Michael.
Coveting your anvil vise!!

Thanks Bowen. Definitely my heaviest sheepskin. The vice ain't much, but it and the anvil end do find some use when I'm bending some metal. i miss my forge and big 100 lb anvil.

Thanks,
Michael

JB i have to compliment these pictures on so many different levels.
First this is a man who can wear a stellar cross zip MC style jacket and look as comfortable in it as a babe in a blanket.
He wears, no owns the jacket/look and not the other way around. And a LW 4oz at that. Not something that can be said often here where the LW beast wears the man who yield quickly and move on. Imho
I think this jacket post and many of your posts serve well how a boomer can rock the leathers in a class all it’s own not beholding to anyone. Something for many to aspire to should they patiently await the many years it takes to reach a mature icon status.
Good job JB. Thanks for sharing how to do it.
No offense intended to anyone else. Just my salutes.

Lost Worlds Buco Rider from our classifieds and then Harris tweed relined/new talon main zipper by JL. Any opinions on whether this might be “too aggressive looking” for casual use when I’m not riding? Not that I usually care but just curious on this piece of heavy hide

Not too aggressive at all! Classic simple pattern. Looks the nuts.

My second Kehoe CR courtesy of Jeff. The first, a brown one, was by way of the Finds & Deals thread. This black one came from him direct. Super seller, can't recommend highly enough.

So glad that jacket worked out for you. Looks fantastic. Isn’t that hide spectacular?

It really is! The overcast skies and my ****py old cellphone pic doesn't do this hide justice. Thanks again.

33c hard day

cant go with my jacket challenge today, just tshirt and type3, the ring is not part of the jacket, it is a brass ring i put on the belt loop to hang the pants easier without much distorting the belt loop or scratching the leather belt i leave on the pants.

This my Lost Worlds Trojan, one of the best jackets I ever came across

My most priced jacket; purchased on ebay while I was visiting my son at the University of Arizona in Tucson. My son is now 32 and well established. I was on leave from work due to breaking my foot hide siding on my motorcycle. I used a hotel computer and the seller was in Tucson. I paid the most I have for any of my jackets at $1200. The next bid under me for $800 the reserved tiger my bid. The hide on this jacket is my favorite of all the jackets I have handled. The jacket is in better than new condition, came with a golden brown collar that I can no longer find. Most have been lost when I moved 7 years ago.
The hat is a custom hand made of beaver felt as good as any Stetson 100 I have handled an ebay score prior to finding the jacket.
I would like to thank all those that leave kind comments regarding my recent post. I am comfortable wearing leather jackets and felt hats. The last two event weddings I attended, I changed into a leather jacket after the ceremony.

Jon, Do you still have the Johnson Leathers Levi's repro? I used your photos to have Alan recreate that jacket for me but I always felt yours turned out better. Would love to see some updated shots of that!
