I'm cold just looking at you - it's 37 degrees (25 w/wind chill) here in central VA so an old L.L. Bean down jacket for me. In spite of the cold in your hemisphere, you still look cool! There will be time enough to wear your jacket soon.

Yes, it's cold. At least for me. Others here still find it pleasant. But with temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius, I like warm jackets. My shearling coats, deck jackets, and nylon flight jackets are much more comfortable than normal leather jackets

I'm wearing the Lesco again.
It's fairly cold today, but recently I realized I can wear the OG 108 wool field shirt in place of a flannel, and with my scarf and the quilted lining this jacket has I'm staying pretty toasty.

Nice jacket! How do you like Vanson as a brand? I’ve been looking at their products and dreaming of a cafe racer style.

Harley Denim riding jacket again today.
33C on the home run which is why !
That's too hot even for perforated leather jackets I find.
To be a week of cloned weather.
Happy Aussie New Year in 11 hours !

Thanks!
It's probably as good as it gets, great patterns and solidly built without breaking the bank.
And if you want fancier leather you can source it yourself like @JonS1967 or go through a third party like Thurston or more recently @Mrfrown.

The black one

Ending the year with 4 main jackets (and 1 for sale + 1 being altered by a tailor).
2 brown (better with t-shirt, warmer weather) + 2 black (better layered, colder weather).
Y'2 Leather LS-15 in brown aniline midweight horsehide.
Aero Leathers Hooch Hauler in mid-thick brown CXL FQHH.
Aero Leathers Cafe Racer in heavy black CXL FQHH.
Vanson Leathers model E (Highwayman) in Competition Weight thick cowhide + locally made real mouton collar.
All size 36!
In terms of favorites it's definitely the E and the Hooch Hauler. Cafe racer is a bit too big/roomy and the Y2 is a bit tighter than I would like, but both are still fantastic jackets and keepers for now!
