What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

I love the Gene Simmons collar tab on these Brimaco jackets!
Great pick-up @Robbie79.

 

@Jin431 @handymike Thanks guys for your positive feedback. I'm so glad that it fits so well (it was a gamble as I only knew height and weight of the seller - he's taller and heavier) and as the zippers perfectly work and lining is in very good condition (there is one stain on the jacket but that's OK for me). I also prefer slightly longer jackets sometimes as I often prefer to wear shirts untucked and wearing rather short jackets like the Vanek makes it sometimes difficult to use it as a grab-n-go jacket. I'm 100% sure that this will be a keeper for years.

 

Lemaire Lambskin Blouson. Based on a leather from the 1974 Wim Wenders film “Alice in the Cities”. (A film i have not seen lol). Leather is very soft, really a well made jacket from a fashion house. Love Lemaires subtle, austere interpretation of 70s wear.

 

Boot game is deadly. What are those?

 

Thanks!! They’re Heritage Boot Company. These are snip toe with a 2” heel.

 

Just had to check them out. Not really into “western boots” but they have some really cool exotic leathers. Might get a wallet or belt from them. Also I’m a big fan of a musician called Jesse Dayton and they have a boot named after him so I’m loving that.

 

Ah yeah, hes on their ig a lot. Those are the ones he wears

 

That's a great film! I wouldn't mind if more artisanal makers began taking inspiration from the styles of late 1960s & '70s Euro Noir - e.g.,


The American Friend


Belle du Jour

 

Very happy to have had this Field Leathers Idaho make it’s way to me. Preowned and fueling the fire for a custom build in the future.

 

What a fantastic find! You totally scored. Not even sure Lee is still made in USA...

 

I have a couple All Saints jackets. Also, G-star and Super Dry. You can usually get super deals after Xmas.

 

Damn that's a good looking jacket. Teacore?

 

@Robbie79 How in the world did you manage to get such an amazing fit with no measurements even?!
Beautiful jacket!

My Freewheelers Lot. 667 over a Mister Freedom Ranch Blouse with my same old horrible Action Man posing skills.

 

I have a hard time finding a jacket that would fit me off the shelf so it's rare that I can wear even those jackets.

 

@dudewuttheheck Thanks, Dude! I was just gambling that it turns out to be the right decision but TBH it was an easy decision for just 89€ incl shipping (jacket was luckily located in Germany). Now I‘m more than happy that it’s so comfy and perfect for upcoming Spring and Summer as it is medium to light weight.

Yeah I guess for that price it's hard to go wrong. I'm just really impressed with the fit. Great jacket.

 

Yes! Now I want to get a vintage cafe racer too! These vintage cafe racer jacket that @TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead @handymike @torfjord @Robbie79 have been sporting is calling out to me and i hear it very well.

Welcome to the FL jacket family my friend! I'm sure whatever custom you go with will be super! Congrats

Loving this jacket and color and the snaps more and more each time I see it!

 

Damn thats an awesome jacket. That color is amazing! What kind of leather is that?
