What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Are you serious? I will definitely keep it as it doesn't bother me (only 2.5mm...) and it looks worse on the pics than in reality, i.e. I've never realized that one sleeve is slightly shorter until today.

Relax. They’re being sarcastic, the jacket is perfect, enjoy it.

Jeez man - I was joking, of course. At an extra 2.5mm that qualifies as the same length in a hand made product. It's a variation of what we call down here, a bee's dick.

Going lighter today with a Lee Riders denim jacket. Made in Canada but not sure when it was made. Maybe someone here knows.

Looks great, but why do they keep calling this "midnight blue"?
It looks green in every picture i have seen of it. Or is it my eyes?
Carlos,
I own a Teamster in this leather and it usually appears to be any color other than blue. To me it usually looks steely gray or even black. Radz has actually managed to capture the color very closely in his photos, not surprisingly because he is a gifted photographer

Cal-leather, not sure about the model. Could be a CHP, but there are no grommets for police batch. Very thick, very heavy! It looks very similar to a Cal-leather model in Rin Tanaka's book. Beautiful thick brass Talon zipper.

One of the nicest Cal’s i’ve seen around.
That leather speaks!
How old do you think it is?

I think it's late 60ies. The Talon zipper looks older, but the red tag is certainly 60ies, if not early 70ies. The large collar could also indicate 70ies.

Wearing my Ridley while doing the Cliff-walk in Newport, RI. It was raining most of the time, but I think it was good for the jacket:)
