What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Jin431]

yeah right, I think my portion of fade karma has been extracted by my countrymen who posted at heddels lol.

since you are familar with MTO boots from indonesia,
I would suggest you the same this Ironclad Denim & Co https://www.instagram.com/ironcladdenim/ ( search them on IG only, they are based on the same city I live, but honestly I never meet them, I just order mine through IG dm and whatsapp). I think it has the cleanest construction, they fold over the front pocket bag over the side seam on the top block so your hip won't feel scratchy inside where your jeans fit the closest on your skin (that alone is HUGE plus), you can ask for yoke lining if you want (eye candy), they can make you any fit, no arcuate if you want (since a good/ mature arcuate is what most indonesian brands lack of), custom your stitches colors, material of the hardwares, pocket bag material, etc. mine was full custom made from 19oz thai milled from zimbabwean cotton, iron donut button with common laurel leaf, and copper rivets by YKK, come standard with selvedge fly and hickory pocket bag ( I didn't need to ask it), and the price I paid for my quilted double knee with double seat, and back cinch is the same or cheaper than some ready made Indonesia standard raw jeans.

downside is MTO wait time and common YKK hardware (no special brand printed hardware), they don't have special special run of fabrics specially milled for them, but rather than stuck with many "slim fit/ semi slim straight" offered by many and mostly over the top arcuate, I rather have this.

for RTW, I would pick WWco (warpweft co) denim https://warpweft.co/collections/exquisite-series, they have good tasty arcuate, beautiful hardware and unique fabrics, and functional website for international buyers.

Thanks man @navetsea ! I do like my hand made/welted Indonesian MTO boots. That's super informative and great write up! I'll make sure look them up. i don't know much about denim and it's specifics but I always liked the denim you wear. The one with with the padded knee and the zippers on the hem looked especially cool. I think I'm pretty good with waiting times so long as it's not more than a years wait lol

its pretty fast last time early march 2020 when I ordered a jacket and a vest it was done before april, maybe it was down time for them, but it was about a month or two max, unless people here suddenly made youtube video and turn things out of proportion and resulting in wait time and price hike... which is dangerous since hype will pass on to something new, and hard to readjust back to previous price and domestic market segment they have left behind.

BTW this is my spec for my double knee
Size chart:
Waist: 76cm (around)
Rise: 26cm (front)
thigh: 28,5cm
knee: 22cm
Leg opening: 22cm
Inseam: 84cm
sorry I use metric, outside of my waistline and inseam I'm not familar using inches.

This is the top block construction i like the most that side seam is super clean on my double knee, also very strong i bet, double layers of pocket bag material used to cover the edges

Saw this on IG. Spectacular jacket, to say the least. Fit is beyond perfect.

The natural accents have me thinking. Certainly pretty bold. I can imagine that blending in very nicely once the aging starts.

much looking forward to the review and more pictures too!

The only jacket I’m wearing when I can these days. I know it gets a bit boring but I love it.

That’s how you know you got a good one! I honestly think that jacket is the high water mark for 5 Star thus far. Just great all around.

You’re right about getting a good one. Before I got it I kept searching for leather jackets, now I just don’t feel like - let’s see for how long. I’ve always liked cafe racers and this kind of jackets weren’t really my style until I got this one. Looking forward to being able to wear it more later this year.

was 90f yesterday. Today is cool enough for an A2

Back from morning walk again.

I let this jacket hanging outside my room facing my backyard to get indirect sun and humidity, for a week, felt cold and damp inside when I put it on after i shake it thoroughly upside down, checked all pockets, living in the tropics means insects will claim anything you left untouched for a period of time esspecially outside. But it also pays off

I think it grows abit more grain and slightly darker again.

Just delivered, I’m exceedingly pleased. It will require minimal TLC to turn this into a stunner. Cool to have the jacket Aero based the wayfarer off of. Time to double down on my vintage hunt. These jackets always, without fail, exceed my level of joy vs new.
