What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[AHP91]

Looks pretty much like a Guide Master By Wolf, to me.
Are you sure it's a Golden Bear?

Yes, enough of the original label remains to identify it as GB. It does have similarities to the Wolf.

Filson Jac Shirt. It was 6 Celcius when I went out this morning, now its like 10. Fall is here...

@Al 916 nice settee. Vanson is not too shabby too. But the leather settee for the win.

A good eye for background @Canuck Panda T.

It is a horsehide you would need an angle grinder to scratch!
circa (as far as we can date it 1900ish)

I hate to think of the analysis of the base stuffing....

Cross zip fever has taken hold. Spamming hard with this one. Apologies. I won’t buy another. Why do the cheap ones always seem to get more wear? Why do I like them “more”? This jacket is flimsy Brooks leather and I absolutely love it. Somewhat brutal realization after 20 plus years of “collecting”and God only knows how much $ spent.

I know how you feel; I get way more compliments from my $200 Treen crosszip then I do with any other jacket

Amazing. Could it be a Guide master made for Golden bear?
It's confusing!

Thank you so much

Wearing the 40s Hercules today, I really like the fit on me. I think this one is a home run!

Too cold for leather today and almost too cold for this POS. First time im let down by Ralph Lauren quality. Flimsy and light. Need a Kersey ASAP.

Dude, the jacket looks AMAZING on you. Glad it found a good new home.

Thanks again Marc! It's easily the most comfortable vintage jacket I've tried, I have had pretty bad luck with older jackets but with this one, I'm hooked.

Looks like a modern slim fit, not boxy at all.

@Jasonissm that jacket looks incredible on you!

finally got photos of my 40s California Sportswear horsehide cross zip.

If you call it a double rider, I'll block you

The grain on the chest panels is lovely. I see you have been enjoying longer jackets recently!

Regius built 50s Square Pocket. I had asked @regius to make me an improved copy of this original hoping he could capture the fit and feel; I wanted it shorter in length and the sleeves more tapered. I think he pulled it off brilliantlyThis is the original,

and this is the Regius after one year

Thanks! Yeah I've noticed a massive difference between vintage jackets that are a bit longer and newer jackets that are a bit longer. The vintage ones drape so much better and look correct, unlike newer ones.

Yeah it's an annoying and inaccurate term as is 'single rider' . I can already see from the preview how bad that link is. "Leatherjacketsspain" ships from Pakistan...

Got my Franco-Canadian jacket back from the seamstress.

Waiting on some urad to supple her up a bit, very stiff thick leather.

Started grilling some chicken and thought of a new thread: Grilling in Vintage Leather Jackets.

Got caught in heavy downpour wearing my Regius aviator.

My full aniline Thedi or FL jackets are pretty much like sponges. Some pigment dyed jackets like the Shinki Schott or Nitta Double Helix do better but they still won't withstand more than 15 minutes of rain.

This vegetable tanned Hermann Oak leather aviator is pretty much waterproof, which is awesome. I want more jackets in this leather!

Hermann Oak is one of my favorite leathers. I do a bit of leather craft and is great to work with and age.
