Hi all,
First thread here after lots of lurking. Hoping for thoughts on my next jacket, which will (almost definitely) be black. Already have 3 brown (a lambskin tobacco suede type III, a deep brown Shinki Frobisher on the way, and a chore-coat type, winter-weight in mid brown steer). the three calling my name are:
1. Langlitz Columbia in goat. I'm not a rider so this would be modified to a strait zip, dress collar, and a little longer body length to be less motorcycle-y. Stopped in the shop the other day and tried one on and was very impressed.
2. Aero Bootlegger in goat or horsehide: haven't has the chance to try this on, but am up in Seattle frequently so could easily schedule Thurston Bros to help with fit.
3. Himel Heron in goat. Just a damn fine looking jacket
Yes, they are all different styles.
Yes, I should get all three.
Yes, I can't go wrong with any of them.
But.
Pretend you are a middle-aged guy of above average height and muscular build, looking for a versatile black jacket to fill a hole in his wardrobe. Plusses, minuses, personal experiences, and overlooked options are all welcome.
