What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

My Victorian police jacket made by Stagg leathers Melbourne.
And yes it's a lighter shade of navy blue (our state police tend to have roughly the same shade of blue except for NSW, which is black and WA which hadn't issued leather jackets since the climate is too hot for it)

Ahh most of my jackets are Australian brands......with designs unique to us..... probably of little interest to Americans.
The exception would be my Christie's A2......a reproduction of the Australian wartime contract for the USAAF (V505).... only downside is the synthetic knits rather than wool

I'm aware - but have little to no actual knowledge of - the Australian market having unique designs in motorcycle leathers particularly. First stumbled across this, actually, in the context of reading about Mad Max costumery, with the leathers used in that. Would be interesting to have a thread on Outerwear about Australian jackets as it's something we don't see much of at all this side of the equator.

Four excellent jackets were worn last Saturday during yet another Lounge meet-up in Leiden, the Netherlands. The weather was not in favor of leather, but we couldn't resist. Thanks @torfjord @Harris HTM @Marc mndt for coming out, it was a blast!

Leiden! Lovely place. Was there for a work event back in....2001, I think. Benefitted from the funders wanting to save money on apex fares, had a meeting on the Friday and then stayed on until Sunday evening. Late August, though - I'd have died in leather there then! :D

All you gentlemen with such nice leather, and I'm over here with linen short shorts an A/C trying to beat triple digit heat indices.

100+ heat index - no sign of a jacket for quite some time

even these are just try ons

love this 7th AAF Joe DiMaggio baseball jersey from Bronson. I own a handful of Ebbets Field Flannels jerseys which are more authentic in regards materials but this Bronson linen/cotton is more versatile and strangely looks more "vintage" out of the bag than EFF. In order to get Bronson free shipping for the 7th AAF, I ordered this AVG seater - fun and very heavy duty:

@torfjord I’d love to know where you got that 124mj. When it comes to leather truckers I only seem to find them in Levi’s and Lee patterns.
