She won’t see 5 minutes in that jacket. Good strategy though. I might try that myself.

One of many costume changes today. New to me GW Hercules Black Horween Mustang, exact same size as my brown one, but more broken in as the brown one has been in storage for a couple of years.
Jonesy Wear is still open for business.

Do vests count ?
Today I'm wearing my " modern Chalis vest " from C& C Sutlery.
It's basically a copy of the Filson, but it's a wool vest made to order in the US for $80.
I'm sure it's not as good as the filson, but I quite like it.

I wish they had outfitted the Californian with that sleeve config. These seem more full as do the armholes (that's my only gripe with my ELMC). The hide is superb. Your jacket looks outstanding!

I just noticed all that stitching details. This one is a gem.
The Cat approves.
I have the Filson vests. They feel thinner than they're advertised, or compared to my cruisers. I went to check out C&C website, but international shipping is expensive. Good stuff. That's very good value for Made in USA.Do vests count ?

I can't imagine you in a size 44 of these, Tony. Sleeves are borderline for me and you spend much more time in the gym than me
upward movement is great Thanks to the "footballs" but upper back and sleeves feel slightly restrictive Even on me. A year ago I wouldn't fit in this at all.The leather is awesome with great weight and grain. It's a really cool design that I've lusted after for some time.
All fears about current comp weight can be put to bed. I love this hide. It’s thick, stiff and smells just like Vanson comp weight should. Much better than the rubbery stuff I got from TB as a fit jacket a few years back. I’m eagerly awaiting my 42” but I may well keep them both. This one fits tight but I can absolutely wear it. I’m down about 10lbs after nearly cutting off a finger and losing grip on my (thankfully) left hand. Needs to be broken in. Best $250 I ever spent. Thanks @jglf !
It's my size, obviously too short for you

Kapital Century Denim Westerner - No. 5S... this is the craziest denim jacket I've ever owned. IDK, there was something about it's unorthodox fab, yet traditional design, that I was just drawn to! Picked it up at Standard & Strange Oakland. BTW, for you New Yorkers, S&S just announced, they're opening a NYC location. As most of you know, S&S is one of the of the best shops for cool leather and denim jackets, it's a luxury to actually visit their shop for try-ons, before you pull the triggers!

Hercules HH. On a HEB run for the off-duty supervisor. Nice, long list which will require I putter up and down pretty much every damn aisle.
Wow! Amazingly cool jacket! Here’s my knock-off Dues ex Machina Nail leather.

Thanks. That Herc is one of my favorites.
Anther killer bike too. That tank badge is probably my favorite one that HD put out.
That jacket looks cool. Additional pics welcome.
I now have an internal debate regarding vintage v repro. I am finally in possession of a couple of vintage jackets I can fit into that are pretty nice and I really like them. They are not custom made to my exact measurements but they emanate a cool vibe that is hard to explain.
However, I do have to say that owning a vintage Californian and Sportclad have made me appreciate my GW Californian Ventura even more. JC really captured the spirit and design of these old jackets, and even though I got it off his sales page, and it was not made custom, it sure fits nicely in a way the real thing just doesn't.
