What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[J Leather Investigater]

I will. It’s in storage right now. My life is in a state of flux, in a positive way.

It’s a short jacket fo sho, but I can say that it fits an inch, inch and a half longer than it’s 23” back length. I like it. Car coat MC jackets ain’t my thing.

I dont care for long mc jackets either. I just know from wearing my chp with a 24.5 back l assume 23 would feel to short (on me) but idk you say it fits like its longer, I believe you. I just have to see how I feel in one, 1 day.

I recall you being a couple/few inches taller than me too. It would probably be too short for you. My childhood loss to gravity has at least paid off with being able to wear jackets with shorter lengths.

I gotta get my hands on a shinki jacket. Great shots on your IG account by the way!

Thanks- appreciate the support!

Do your kids know their dad has excellent taste? Nice jacket

My kids are always asking me why I wear a jacket all of the time. I say it’s because I’m cold but I think we all know the real answer to that. SoCal isn’t that cold lol

Hell I live in New Orleans! And no excuses either- my son recently said “Daddy you’re always looking at jackets because you really like them, right?” Yep yep yep

Aero STF Bootlegger in Tobacco Badalassi for a late night dinner. So glad all my relatives are already vaccinated and we can celebrate (in a small group setting) properly again. My mask just had to show lol never leave home without it.

You know I dig the fur, FUR-SUREEE! The color combo of that jacket is awesome.

I always assumed you were straight babyface underneath that mask! Looks like I was wrong haha. A silver lining of mask.. you don't always have to shave.

Yeah man a little bit of fur can't hurt nobody lol thanks bud

That's true I hate shaving too and I'd grow a full beard if I could but not meant to be (patchy). I do like the stubbled look 4-6 days after a shave though

Aero Premier HWM in tumbled cordovan

I tried a mix of brown/black with the cordovan and it does work okay for my eyes/sense of taste. On hindsight I should have put hand warmer zippers to prevent them from flaring out.

Black and cordovan works very well imo. Looking sharp.

Love that too, those two toned black/cords jackets are just beautiful jackets. I think maybe a darker shade of brown boots will work better with this jacket. Thanks @JMax and can't wait to see more of your Cals here

I see what you meant about the Premier HWM being a bit boxy. Also that's one of the things I'm afraid of with the hand warmers like that...flaring out.

And that's already the premier fit! It fits great in the shoulder/chest/hip but the midsection is still boxy for my build and i need more taper there. I should've went with the sheene/highwayman pattern instead but oh well. The pockets flaring out is most likely from placement itself, it's not bad in real life as I barely notice it but it doesn't look great on stills lol

Have JL put in a concealed snap on each pocket.

That's another option. Being so close to JL is both a blessing and an expensive trip lol how do those look?

*saw it, that looks like a good plan. I'll have them do that If it's not too invasive and expensive lol

It is a great fit indeed like the rest of your jackets but it's good to point out some things that you'd change or improve.

Thanks man, happy to share it here too. Body shape really is important in picking the patterns. I felt that there was a high chance of it still being boxy but I like the HWM look so I tried it anyways and it turned out great fit too. If I wanted a better fit the sheene would have suited my physique better but here we are lol

I walked that same path.
Edit. For this pattern type I think the SB roadster does a little better job creating a v shape.

That's why I'm not convinced about HWM, got some measurements from Aero and it's not what I'm looking for. I saw a couple of Sheene but I don't think they make it anymore and right now with all the taxes and Brexit upon us I don't think I want to order one from the US. I think you were right, a hybrid Sheene/HWM would be perfect actually for my taste but I'll have to see about that. I also love that colour by the way I was thinking of getting one in that colour.
