What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[newtojackets]

Nice. I need a good pair of linen trousers.

Thanks for watching! Yeah I really adore this jacket. Never thought I'd fine one this good.

Wearing them was the first time I’ve ever been complimented on trousers

Small relapse.

Good to see you!

Lately I haven't found myself wearing leather jackets or clothes that would fall within the boundaries of TFL style, but yesterday was an exception. Got the Five Star going in this picture, which is really the only leather jacket I have right now. I've been browsing classifieds here and ebay for deals, but I'm thinking I'll probably just save up and get something from Johnson Leather if I decide I want to keep wearing leather. Hope you enjoy the toilet paper roll in the background!

Today my blue cowhide leather trucker jacket. I love the relief that sunlight can give it. And since it's light, I can wear it even in warmer weather like today.

The short version.
Leather was outstanding

The cut was generous and accommodated the middle aged american.

The hardware was abysmal. The main zipper failed 6 weeks in. They were quick to accept a return.

It was my 2nd $2,000 + RMC jacket with a zipper failure. I’ll never buy another. Shame because everything else is great

Thanks for the information. The jacket is expensive but some people do like it. I have a HD museum repro made about 20 years ago using the same pattern. I paid about 700 USD I think. Not in the level of craftmanship as your jacket but not bad either. I think it could have been made by Schott?

Well If the zipper fails again, The NOS bell shape 5 talon is a good option. They are almost period correct as well as the conmars which were on my originals.

This afternoon it will be pants & T-shirt weather warming up into to around 85°f, but this morning I still need a jacket so I went with my Taylor's CMPD.

I tried it without the thinsulate lining but it just feels too big over a T-shirt that way.

Gorgeous is an understatement.
Cuff accent is pure class.
The curved faux front D pocket stitching is art.
This one of your many is perfection plus, CP!!

Yeah, I think this is CPs nicest jacket. And that says a lot, because many in his collection are stunners.

I didn't know I "needed" one of these. Just awesome!

Brave Star canvas Sherpa-lined trucker, it fits a little bigger than my 22oz denim B.S. Ironside trucker in the same size (M), but I haven’t washed this one yet, so I think it’ll hit the sweet spot after that.
In saying that, this is a very comfy, grab and go fit for layering and it’s super practical and warm with the Sherpa/quilted lining.

I believe Brave Star offers great value in their trucker jacket offerings, IMO same quality as Iron Heart at half the price (Iron Heart International prices, that is).

My first jacket that started my journey. Was able to buy it back. Fit is still ok even though I have put on a little weight.

Rarely good fitting jacket. Rarely. Though it all fits well so well.
