What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Still the best-looking Comet on this forum.



Thanks for the words of kindness! The jacket is just a tad too short, though. It ends right at/slightly above my pants line, while I would have wanted it to hit just below. An extra 0.5 to 1 inch would've made this jacket an absolute 10/10. Other than that, I love everything about it. The Vicenza leather is on a whole 'nother level.
Yeah I agree that technically, it should probably be slightly longer. Of course, a pair of higher rise jeans could solve that as well unless you find them uncomfortable. I think that imperfection of it being short is part of what makes that outfit work. We're far more used to seeing jackets that are too long and in the full context of the outfit, the slightly-too-short jacket looks more effortless and cool.

^ yeah I agree, when a jacket is broken in (or the whole outfit is) then perfect fit matter less, probably when brand new it looks glaring, but if you just keep on wearing it and one day it doesn't matter and just look cool.

In a shocking turn of events at the Tokyo Olympics, members of the Hungarian Table Tennis team plan to compete in leather jackets this weekend.

Interesting jacket, perfect fit, shows a bit of wear from what I can tell looking at the sleeves. How long have you had it? More pics?..

Newsflash...the Hungarian table tennis team's strategy to intimidate by donning leather jackets backfired. The doubles match last night was a disaster. Turns out their Japanese opponents both work for The Real McCoys. The Hungarians faced a constant barrage of insults from their Japanese opponents, mocking them for their inadequate stitching and accusing them of wearing "stinki" horsehide. The trash talking took the Hungarians completely out of their game.

I see that you have discovered JMM.

Off topic: I have too, thanks to your passionate advertising.

Ordered a pair of “Dylan’s” and had them made into varifocals. I am now at a second pair of correctional glasses and two sunglasses. Seriously the nicest frames I have ever handled. The price is insane, but once I touched them I became a convert.

@dude, did you happen to see any natural stallions while you were in the shop? I’d be curious to hear your opinion of them if so.
The natural campus jackets are not stallions btw (sorry for being pedantic, just want to clarify.) I did see a couple, but all of them were the ones that have already been put in the sun. Personally I thought they looked amazing. I'm actually fairly interested in getting one myself when the regular ones come back in stock. I don't love how pink they look at first, but they end up looking so good and the fact that they're so light makes it appealing to me. My biggest reason not to get one is just my Freewheelers roughout jacket which sort of fills the same role.

I have indeed. Have two pairs already. Definitely the most impressive acetate sunglasses I've ever come across.
