So sick. The chunky cuff looks great over those engineers

What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

No one asked but this website was the most promising source I could find for US-made carhartt, and of the two actual workwear items listed both had a note indicating they couldn’t promise US origin due to Carhartt’s “blended inventory.” So I guess it remains an open question how to reliably source that stock.
This Reddit thread has some interesting info on carhartt’s foreign and domestic production, but it’s four years old and limited to the US and Mexico

Your RCs are at the top of my personal best-jackets-on-FL list. Perfection.
The camo bottoms look great with that jacket. I'm thinking about getting a pair but not sure if I can carry them off.

My first time handling an Apparel Annex jacket. Pleased overall with the fit for so few of dimensions in the ebay listing; although like most CHP - design jackets, it is a little short in the front torso area. Leather itself (outside of color) is wonderful. The collar needs a little love.

Next up - simply put, the "easiest wearing" leather cross-zip motorcycle jacket I have ever handled. This is the late 1990's / early 2000's Harley Davidson "Basic Skins" jacket. Ironically one of their last Made in USA jackets, and also at the time was their cheapest leather offering. Even better, no skulls, no extra graphics and details, and only one tiny medallion under the LH lower pocket with the HD name.
It's a solid mid-weight cowhide (about a 5-lb jacket), new retailed around $215, broke in easily and so simple to throw on and wear all day, every day. I owned two of these prior and foolishly gave away or sold both. This one has the optional USA flag on the left sleeve, which I believe raised the original price ~ $10. This one came from a consignment shop, however it has an issue that may lead me to move it along. Someone kept this in a musty garage or basement - even after a washing it's pretty musty smelling. I'll keep it out in the sun and try and keep airing it out, but it's pretty rank.

There's too much going on at front of the jacket.if you use both internal pockets.This was made during the Will days,so basically anything a customer wanted they got,the inside pockets wouldn't have been my choice,I bought it from the original owner in 2010 still with tags attached.

It's a 30s half belt, beautifully soft ,the ladies love it,it feels like heavy sheepskin, doesn't "patina",or colour wear off if you look at it the wrong way.Its my dressy Aero
,in otherwords,perfect wearer to the afternoon tea dances .
My first one was “Blacktop Wasteland“, and it was one hell of a ride!
Very nice boots! Never got to try Whites yet. They’ve caught my eye more than ones.

Check their insta for a glance into what they can do. They seem to have a new website, but that’s really not where these guys excel!
