What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Here's my 1968 Martin Lane tribute jacket. My best friend retired from the Navy and gave me this jacket shortly before he died. I wore it to the store today and got several compliments and questions about the patches.

a harder task than Indiana jones picking holygrail cups
you have to imagine a much bigger piece of that leather, or you can scan and photoshop it on jacket you wear, good luck

In my experience, all you can tell from these is color and texture. You will get very little idea about how a jacket would wear or drape though samples.

Looks like a game of tetris

These 2 gets the nod today as we are down to 6 degrees c. The coat is halfway through a dye job to Black. The sheepskin being quite resistant to dye.

I hope that’s a good thing.

I'd say it's the ultimate compliment.
