Hoodies and leather jackets are seen differently here at TFL.
I rarely wear hoodies, but on a home office day it’s cosy. And to get something quickly, you can also combine it with a leather jacket.

Oh, absolutely. I like the combo "Leather and Hoodie" and find it´s a good match, especially with collarless jackets (incl. mandarin collars).

Back in my punk rocker days, my no-name biker jacket (lapels full of badges and band pins of course) would exclusively be worn over a hoodie once the season turned to Winter

Very fresh and still very stiff Model B today. Picked this up from Carrie a couple of months ago for a dedicated bike jacket. I had to size down from my normal 40 to a 38, and it’s still the roomiest jacket I’ve got. Comp weight is a beast, it should be a long road to breaking it in. I haven’t personally experienced a better pattern suited to reaching for bars in a riding position. My only issues with this one is that it’s a bit long in the back for my taste from a fashion standpoint, although it’s about perfect on the bike, and the internal zipper for the removable liner is notably uncomfortable. If custom, I would definitely spec this without the added liner to delete that zip. I may actually remove it myself.. My first Vanson, and I’m very impressed with it. Now it’s just the agonizing dilemma of deciding whether to wear this or the 613 when it’s time for a ride. First world problems, I suppose!

Very nice jacket! It’ll get noticeably more comfortable as you break it in—so that you may not even notice the liner zip. The more you wear it, the better it will feel.

That’s actually great to hear! I wondered if the zipper discomfort would relent with proper break in. I will leave it alone until it gets more well deserved wear.
