What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

I am pretty sure the guy who had this jacket custom made for himself in Ventura California sometime in the 1950s did not wear it with seersucker shorts and plastic Birkenstocks.
When I worked as a Chef I would frequently respond to the critiques from the floor, good or bad, "There is no accounting for taste."
I am going to wear it in my Prius down to the beach if a few minutes. View attachment 409701 View attachment 409702 View attachment 409703 View attachment 409704
Don't be so sure. Ventura is a surfer town. The main shop was probably less than a mile or two away from the ocean. I wouldn't be surprised if there are some old polaroids of guys in long hair rocking their jackets by the pier LOL.

About backgrounds....your’s are iconic. Now maybe after your 1/2mile swims you could stroll the 1/2 mile beach and catch some iconic wahines in the background. For contrast of course.

I just have to make sure it is tourists in the background. The Uncles don’t like you taking selfies in front of their daughters….or granddaughters.

Yesterday, Sunday........@ St. Augustine Beach, FL, it was a very breezy 38F..........and I got the chance to wear this killer B-6 made by Simmons Bilt. I purchased it from a totally top shelf dude - Maarten. To those of you who may run across his path in the future......he will impress the HELL out of you......as he did me.

Insane how well it fits when it doesn't fit like a cardboard box, which is how it did fit on me. Sleeve length is perfect. Everything is. Literally couldn't have ended up in better hands and not just sayin' that 'cause I sold it to you.
I'm forever thankful as I don't think it could have fit any better at all. The sleeve length, back and front length, and chest are all perfect. I just need to tame the leather a bit as you weren't kidding with this jerky; it's bounces back and needs extra attention to get it to where you want it.

Super happy overall!
