A great jacket, a bit underrated, I have a sheepskin one made in the USA.

Hard to believe it is less than three months since this jacket was made (August 13 birthday).

Some of you must think im nuts wearing b3 in Los Angeles. As crazy as it sounds, it gets a lot of wears in short bursts. Nothing better when the dogs wake you up at 6am to go out and you don't feel like layering up. You can just roll out of bed.. This does the trick over a tshirt and pjs. And I admit, I got weak *** thin blood lol, so I know, not for everyone. But I love the vibe so much, got something else coming. Hoping it fits. Little more fashion forward with the cut, but I also slimmed up this one some.

@TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead Wow, your B-3 looks awesome and excellent fit - I guess I should do it like you when I go out to the Bakery early in the morning, etc. Shame on me as I haven't worn it a single time so far....

That's a quality B-3, is it an Aero?

It is. I bought it from a fellow lounger last year in the middle of a heat wave. I had a tailor trim the torso. He took out a good 2 or 3 inches from the bottom and mid section. It was ideal because I still needed the ptp and length from the bigger size. Carlos gave me that idea because he did something similar on a Schott B3. The tailor did a great job on the cut, but he missed some stitch holes here and there and didn't match the thread properly. It's only noticeable if you go looking for it, but it was before I knew about Dena. I'm hoping the fur collapses some because it is bulky but that's the design anyway.

Thank you. Maybe it's me and I'm not used to the cold, but I can easily wear 1-2 hours in temperature up to about 60-65 F. Again this is with only tshirt underneath. It's so perfect to add instant warmth without having to layer on sweaters etc.. I wouldn't want to be wearing all day, stuck on a subway, etc.

I did break down and bought that Toys McCoy one on Classifieds. I couldn't resist as this shearling style with more of a fitted look is the ONLY jacket I've ever wanted. I thought the Aero would fix that need and while I love it for different reasons, it's too much for every day all day long type use. I'm just praying the TMC fits. Will be close. And I'll see if I keep the Aero too for those cold mornings LOL.

Oh man that’s a better fit than the jacket I had it made for! Perfect!

I’ll add two snaps to make sure it’s gtg for riding. For puttering about on foot it’s good. It will also work on the Hercs with a slight mod. Thanks again.

Edit— it works on the Trojan too.

Getting some sun. It comes more and more to life every time I take it out. Can't even imagine what this will look like in 10 years.

What Jacket Did You Wear to The Beach Today?

GW Hercules Horween Brown Mustang.

I missed this jacket. I got it cinched in a bit since 3 years ago, and it likes this climate, the wax finish softens up, and when you get in close the grain just POPS!

 

[handymike]

@jonesy86 this is THE Best! Irregardless of what the Greek says.

On my way to the post office to drop off the French Canadienne coat for it's journey across the pond. Wearing the Albert Richard, definitely one of my favorites.

This hit my porch at 9PM last night. Atomic level CHP. Beastly. Will have to wait ‘til the weekend for actual wear but this one should easily fend off any chill in the air. Thanks @J Leather Investigater!
