What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[mvilla]

Not difficult, just costly. I think it was 50 or 60 GBP. I much prefer the D-rings, too. They replaced sliders which didn't stay in place. I liked them, aesthetically, but I couldn't tighten the jacket in winter when I travelled to colder places.

Where did you get the job done? Here in UK?

Is it because the sleeves always get caught? If so, I just reversed looped the cinching tab. Not D rings but the buckle also doesn't catch and scratch the sleeves.

That is a cool solution... I think the D ring kinda look better rough... What you think?

D rings are the best. This temporary fix gets me there until surgery time.

isn't that small curved tab/ tongue thing on the buckle meant to run the leather belt around it to bite into the strap and friction brake it? when used like the lower pic there it does look nice but it always slides loose with wear especially when pressure is applied like when you wear it as side buckle and you wear the jacket to squat or to reach forward, the waist strap will slide off the buckle

Yes, by Aero. Got a zip replaced at the same time. D-rings are the only side adjusters I really want on jackets and I've found that they stay in place.

Most of the friction happens around the U bend. The tongue does check things in place, sort of, but it also catch onto the sleeves. I just loop it the reverse way, but it works the same as looping from the top. D rings are better because its round and smooth and there is nothing sticking out to catch onto something.

I don't use my cinches, especially on the Highwayman, it will give the unflattering balloon look when it's pulled in. The Premier Highwayman is slim enough and the regular Highwayman I just learned to live with the bigger hem, or eat more donuts.

I like your outfit. Nice and easy. The jacket and the flat cap add a touch of style. Also can’t go wrong with black and denim color combo.

Thanks! My wife told me that I have an outfit like a tourist. In fact I am a tourist here in the Swiss Alps

Absolutely beautiful graining. Schott jackets are underrated on this forum imo.
