What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

AbbaDatDeHat · Oct 19, 2019

Greetings All:
Today....90’s Gap trucker.
I wish all my jackets learned how to pop grain the way this one is.
For a cheapo jacket, bang for the buck is big.
Be well. Bowen

Thanks, RK!
The jacket weight 8.5 lbs, the hide is not as thick as LW, but it is super stiff(It bruised my arm from first few times try on when new) even compare to brand new LW 4oz plus HH.
The company has no business connection to Langlitz as far as I know, the hide (they called Hard Steer)is produced from Korea, and the jacket is made in China.
I don't see any difference from LW in terms of quality, I can't imagine how it is possible to sew this super stiff leather together.

The only downside of this jacket is the finish of the hide is rather easy to scratch off from normal use.

Price is around $720.

“Normal use”....the Terminator would wear this on a bad day.
The Kadoya uses Cal and Langlitz as a liner!!
Pretty cool!

Too warm for leather so Waxed cotton trucker time.

Spent the day in the City, still breaking in my horsehide G-8 (made by U.S. Authentic). The hide is a gorgeous caramel russet, thick yet pliable, and it’s developing some really great graining/creasing.

This is not only an 11/10-jacket, that is also a stellar fit! LW has great designs, but I sometimes thing their sizing is a bit on the generous size for some bodytypes.

Can you help me out a bit, please: What size did you pick, and how does that compare to what you chose from other makers? Did you do anything with the body-lengths?

In any event: Wear it often and hard. But by all means, wear it in good health! Together with @JMax‘ midnight blue Aero, this is one of the most impressive jackets lately!

All I did was tell stu my height/weight and body type. I didn't do anything with the length either. I just explained to him how I wanted the jacket to look. Picked cuffs, yoke, special stitching. That's it

I agree. I gave up looking at A2s after getting this Black Buzz. It is a jacket I wear. A2s are just easy and comfortable. This one is still stiff after a year of wearing. I got lucky finding this one in a 44. I have two Buzz jackets and both are on my keeper list. I will have to get my Buffalo Buzz out of the closet too.

here are some pics the day I got it

Today I wore my Headwind Mfg Bridge City Rider. I was selling this jacket but I wound up keeping it. I'm glad I did!

After about 2 weeks of wear:

Wearing my Aero Type 3 at the coffee shop this morning. This jacket has not gotten the attention it deserves from me since it arrived a couple days before my much awaited Vanson Commando. But it is without a doubt one of my nicest, most comfortable jackets to wear. As soft and easy as it is to move around in it might as well be denim!

It might take a day or two to dry out.

Yeah this is the 613SH or whatever it is with the thicker hide. I owned one for years and moved it in a trade. It’s much nicer than the standard one. And love the way it creases love the shine on it. It’s great. I just think compared to the Rich-Sher and Lawrence ones that @Gamma68 owns this one I can’t explain why isn’t like those. But if you’re going to buy one of the classic Schott models, this is hands down the one to get!

I agree schott does this well, in a medium price point, in the USA for 100 years. They deserve a lot more respect than they get around here in my honest opinion. Awsome jacket gamma, keep kicking ass

Awsome jacket looks great gamma, when this jacket breaks gets beat around a little it's going to have that "it" factor and a lot more character, that's what sets this apart from the older jackets you have that are similar it lacks character, character will develop as it goes through some shit. That's what i think about it. Drag that jacket through life gamma, 30 day heard

I like this jacket the most of all that I have seen from your collection. Clean front and back, slightly accented flap pockets, discreet two-tone - oh my. And I am not even a huge fan of knits in leather jackets. But this one is great.
