What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Tom71]

USN Peacoat (1918 model) by Freewheelers.

Always considering to add a later model to the stable, as this long, heavy and stiff coat somehow contradicts the casual everyday wearability of the WW 2 models.
Then again: with really cold days getting fewer and fewer, how many wool coats does one need…

Because it's not an Aero design. It's one of the Levi's patterns

It looks great on you, congrats. Goatskin is a great hide for this pattern.

You are right of course. The 'original' LVC /Aero Rockabilly should arrive tomorrow.
I remember that someone (maybe you) once posted a picture of a very similar jacket from the 30ies, which might have been the template of the rockabilly/rockafella.

Just a quick shot coming back from my physician. Still feeling pretty bad (and looking the part).
My new aero rockafella ( made by Julie Leitch) in goat needs to be introduced to tfl anyway.
Best aero design I have personally worn. View attachment 661656 View attachment 661657

Beautiful jacket, it looks great on you! And a normal size and placement of the neck hole, a rarity among Aero jackets!
Hope you feel better soon!

Wearing my .50Cal B3 from ELC. Had a 44 but never felt comfy in it so went up to a 46. Tad roomy but I’m ok with that. View attachment 661411

How I want the fur collar when it gets coldly cold

Been on the fence about the fit of my sunset, particularly feels tight in the shoulders. What do yall think?

Just a novice myself. Things I expensively learned is does it feel comfortable in all ranges of arm motion, I gotta sell my IH shirt it’s too tight around the pit.

As for the look. i imagine it would look better the more its broken in.

Vintage Buco J-27.

I think these old Bucos fit me better than any leather jacket that I've tried on so far.

looks fine on the shoulder, but is that the best you can rest the jacket over your shoulder, seems like the jacket doesn't rest well on your shoulder and making huge neck/ collar gap

He’s likely pulling at the sleeve cuffs so they don’t look too short and thus creating that neck to collar gap.

Cold windy day. Good for wool. Sugar cane wool sport jacket.

I have not worn the PW suede trucker nearly enough this year.

Looks like super heavy leather!

that's a plausibility too

 

[Mrfrown]

That is beautiful!

My first in person experience with a jacket in Badalassi and the cognac is a good one to showcase it!

Looks like super heavy leather!

It’s about 3/3.25 oz. Definitely wants some breaking in but it wore without issue, thanks Vanson lol. Total jacket weighs about 5.67 pounds according to my fish scale

Edit: the belt adds about 0.5 pound, it wasn’t on when I weighed it earlier.

Looks awesome ! Do you have a size chart ?

Looks awesome ! Do you have a size chart ?

Not yet!

I can tell you it fits similarly to my Schott 618, just had to size down one to a 38 instead of my typical 40.

This 38 C2 measures:
Chest 22”
Shoulder 17.5”
Back 24”
Sleeve 25”

I’m 5’9” 175 lbs just over 40” chest

Today, wearing a Schott 141 I scored for cheap a while back, because it was missing the zip out liner. Phone call to Schott revealed it's a 2010 model, last year of the cream colored soft pocket liners. I love my Vanson's more for their fit and durability, but I do love this jacket. Comfy soft naked cowhide, simple look. Have gotten compliments wearing it. Still smells of nice leather.

beautiful color, my suggestion is perhaps beige or sage or olive zipper tape, and shorter diagonal pocket perhaps 1" shorter (this one seems just a bit too long toward the armpit imo)
goodluck with your shop
