What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Herrvallmo]

Rockin' the Hercules today, so glad I got this zipper fixed so I don't have to worry about it getting stuck on me haha

Changed the random puller my cobbler put in to something less "monstrous" lol,



@MattMorrison81 that Santa Clara looks amazing on you! maybe the finest piece of leather from Rainbow Country(love the contrast stitching on the pockets)!

Same sloppy Aerguitar fit pics, but new test jacket today… new pattern, new hide. Turns out, I love both. I’ll probably play around and have some fun with pocket configurations on this one, as well as different belt options. This hide is not playing around. Somewhere between Schott’s steer and Vanson’s comp weight. It’s 3.5- 4oz chrome tan and I had to do a little skiving to make my machines happy. Definitely a bike leather with this top coat. One day of wear and the grain is starting to pop. Gonna be a long-ish road to break in for this one, but I can’t wait to see what it looks like after some real world wear.

Sell everything. Only wear your own creations

Amazing work as always mate! crazy how good you jackets looks tbh, and like Mr. Bfd70 said, with the quality of your own work I see no reason to ever wear something else tbh(okey maybe for inspiration for making something amazing yourself haha)!

So when can we start putting in our orders?

Cheers!

Thank you so much! I finally feel like I nailed the look with this jacket. Higher waisted pants don't always look great on me so it took forever to put something together that all looked right with the cut of the 40s jacket.

Amazing! That’s my dream, just to learn the skills make a nice leather jacket.

Regius And aerguitar should run a summer camp for jacket nerds

I have let a couple go already, but I do have two Aeros and a really sweet Flathead I recently picked up(I’m sure you know the one, haha) that would be very hard to give up!

Regius could be the TFL University professor of Jacket Design and Construction. You could be at least an Assistant Professor. @photo2u could teach a workshop on Zippers and Mouton Collars. There, that is the beginning of Faculty and coursework!

Don’t forget @tmitchell59 as history professor, @jeo as archeology, and @Canuck Panda as research and testing.

Top and bottom? I feel like I’ve seen quite a few pairs of Sugar Cane jeans in that colour on the second hand market here in Japan. And yes, I have been tempted.

Just the jacket. Jeans are Gustin Persimmon dye, but I've seen the Sugar Cane ones that you're thinking of as well.
