What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Rocked my modified Schott 618 today, love how this one wears!

Cheers!

Evenings are finally just cool enough to step out with an unlined jacket and a tee shirt.

What a lovely jacket!

Today’s jacket is a Flat Head Cafecto in black Shinki obtained courtesy of @Bender. It is difficult to explain how phenomenal the leather is, but it definitely spoils you. Like donning a cloak of leather butter. Yes, that makes total sense. Not weird in the slightest.

But despite all that buttery goodness, it’s got the most unruly collar. It juts outward in all directions like a weather vane or like Simon le Bon’s hair and jacket circa 1984. Not sure what to do about that.

Paired in today’s photos with a Viberg Halkett in Annonay cool tan. Does “cool” means “nifty” in this case?

New-to-me 1970s(?) Oshwahkon in excellent condition. The fit and pattern of this jacket really appeal to me.

Not sure how to think about the leather, though. I absolutely love it, but I'm not sure why. It is thin and shows very minimal graining, and though I have other jackets like that from the 1970s (like Montgomery Wards and Sears), those feel very cheap whereas this does not. This leather is much more substantive with depth and character despite not having the graining or the heft. There's a great hand to it as well and I love the arm rolls.

I'm assuming this is the kind of leather those cheaper makers were trying to imitate?

Whatever way I should think about this, it's real treat for $100 with a loads of life remaining. This will see regular wear.

PS: thanks to @jchance for posting this in Finds and Deals thread.

This looks amazing! I suspect you warm up very quickly wearing that! It may make the local bears rather jealous of you.

To continue my Jacket cycle here a little as I was not able to wear any of them for a few weeks.

See which one you like better -

It sure does warm up fast! first time I'm looking forward to the harsh winter here all I need now is a great pair of gloves to go with this jacket

And then for a crazy one - even more than those posted above, I may be wearing this 7 days from now when the kids come looking for treats in my neighborhood. This one has history and is just for fun really. I'll post a full review with history & details in the Vanson Vanson Vanson thread soon.

Just about cool enough for jacket weather, finally. Hanging out in the backyard (yes, in sweatpants…) with the pup so I thought I’d actually wear a jacket. This is a Five Star cafe racer style in goat. Held up pretty well. Cheers!
