Yesterday was a glorious three jacket day, thanks to some cooler weather. Vanson in the morning.

Double Helix in the late afternoon.

And Lewis Leathers in the evening. A good day if I do say so myself.

I finally found out what a halfbelt with Aero measurements would actually be like.

This is a new-to-me Johnson Leathers. Tagged size: 36.
Seller's claim on chest size: 38.
Actual PTP measurement: 22.5.

Still, I'm considering keeping it to run flatbeds starting next month. The medium weight naked cowhide offers great protection but drapes like fabric; the roomy chest gives me almost a full range of arm movement with lots of room for layering; and it only cost me $100 so if I beat it to hell no big loss.

I think it will do until I save enough for a LW trucker. It definitely has an old-school vibe like from a 1940s film.

Beware of Friday the 13th, friends. I might have to do a Jason marathon tonight.

I have to say, it looks great to me! I prefer a relaxed fit for jackets, personally.
