Jordan 11 can’t go wrong with comfort they slip right on
I broke a toe a couple months ago and these were basically one of the two shoes I had that weren't neither tight on the toes nor high tops/boots. Lifesavers!

Red Kap work uniform jacket. I bought this jacket probably in 1989 on a street corner in Atlanta, at a burned out gas station not far from the Federal Pen (and not far from the late lamented Harold’s barbecue!). There was a one-eyed woman selling racks of already well used workwear, and I got this jacket for three dollars. Have worn it probably thousands of times since then… Still going strong. I love it!

IIRC, these were West German police issue around and about the 60s / 70s, replaced (at least for the MC guys in the Berlin region) by the Kawasaki green stuff that came later but before reunification?
Seems about right. But the different versions and jackets in the different states make it all quite complicated...
The green leather stuff ugly as hell though.

If you want another of these coats I can offer you one in 52/L, at least in Europe shipping would be no problem.

Cal yesterday with a new to me studio dartisan sweatshirt. Really liked this

Today with the RC Hercules. Didn’t like it with the whole denim situation as much as I’d hoped, felt the denim on denim worked better with the cognac c2 & Wesco boss boots better

Thanks much! Yes, fits well. I chose the same size as my HH Western, but I have to say, it wears absolutely different. Much more natural drape (to the extent that it’s actually irritating to not have the inherent structure of the horse), and a lot of give, so I can easily layer over a sweatshirt.

I actually managed to stain it this morning, as I was hurrying to wipe the ice from my wife’s car and repeatedly brushed against some trees. Not a big deal, but Patina is on its way…:)
It's a dangerous color haha :D but hey, lets just call it "character" ;)

@X83 Those 11's goes hard! really takes me back to high school and my own(beaten to a inch of it's life) Concord 11's I wore all year lol.

Need to drop by the office today so Thedi it is, cheers all!
