What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[SinSir]

Eastman B3 today for the frigid temps but warm as can be!

Found another one at the flea a while back- a vintage horsehide Harley Sportster One Pocket jacket. Needed some repairs- someone had trashed the zipper and poked holes in the bottom to run a leather tie. Jeezus, it was a mess, but the price was right. New C&C old stock zipper and a couple of patches, and I just got it back. I've got to stop buying these Sporsters- this is number 4 hanging in my closet. Sigh.

Just call ones like these a "rescue." Makes you feel better about acquiring them. I often look for ways to give these away to freinds in need or to sell them cheaply later on.

I still have 4oz plus LW Suburban 7.2 lbs and Ton's Aero Half belt 8.2 lbs. I don't expect or believe any civilian jacket beyond 8 lbs at my size 42.

My first Natal CR was around 10 lbs. Leather was soft but belt thick.

My size 38! HWM was 9.3 lbs boxed. It therefore is at least 8 lbs heavy, so a size 42 with all the extra leather could easily go up to 10 lbs in a 4-5oz hide.

I doubt it, I bought few jackets that seller claims weight is beyond 9 or 10 lbs but it shows 2-3 lbs less on both my digital scale and fish scale.

If that jacket was not already over the top cool, the corduroy lining makes it even better!!

70’s Chicago cop coat. The earlier jackets are vastly superior. The black one made me feel like Paul Blart. This one is 2lbs heavier, navy blue and I feel like a bad mother...
I like!

Sir, I can’t pull over any farther. I’m already pulled over! Cool jacket Ton!

Wearing the Cordovan Maxwell today. I'd quite like to just take this one overseas with me next time I go to a cold place for a year. Give it some proper wear- but I know I'll take the CR, too.

First time ever I see one of these... Well, fit! Exceptionally well at that and it's an exceptional jacket. Might as well shave the beard at this point and leave the 'stache, though.

Don, Mike & Chet said they'll meet you down at Ricobene's on 26th

All the old CPD leathers I've handled have about half a dozen interior pockets, seemingly custom-sized to quite specific purpose [backup Roscoe, ticket book, etc]. Is that the case with yours?

It is. 5 interior pockets! Already know what I’m wearing to episode 9. Hot tamales on the left, milk duds on the right. I could practically fit my own pop corn and popper inside this thing!

episode 9.

You should be charged with misconduct just for saying that.

Riding below zero today os the teens!! Putting the Eastman B3 to the extreme test with light layering underneath without fairings or a windshield! So far its doing a great job!

Hercules Outerwear by Sears Nylon Jacket. Considering this jacket is more than 70 years old it looks remarkably contemporary.

As the thermometer starts to dip into the 60s F at night with the rainy season I took advantage of a rare sunny day to give my leather a vinegar water/sun bath.

Maybe I’ll put on the Arcadia to go for a walk along the beach in full moonlight later tonight.

Looks like your one year holiday became permanent? Congrats, I imagine it is well earned.
