What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Sagar85]

I prefer the look of this type of persimmon tan compared to the y2, looks more interesting from the start.

yes, ton of hide character with blemishes and scars that are left untouched in tanning process. may not be everyone's cup of tea. but I love it.

Thanks bud. This FL is still one of my all-time favorites.

I started following another Masters programme next to my job, studying in the evening hours... Days are long but it's for a good cause.

TGIF!!! Dutch TFL meetup tomorrow

I'm also trying to finish up my masters program. All I have to do is my capstone, all courses are finished, however there are many distractions, including this leather jacket forum. What you studying? Just curious. I'm writing about central digital bank currencies, and I am in a Master of Global Affairs Program at Rice University.

That is the second jacket you have posted that I have had my eye on. That is one stunning jacket, it has a large amount of presense, even through the photo, I can only imagine in person. Very nice! I hope you like being looked at because when you walk down the street with that on, everyone will be looking at you.

Agreed on the fit/ pattern. But this kakishibu leather is something else all together on how it looks, or smells

Absolutely, this Kakishibu tanning/finish is really something else. You've seen the images on the RMC's social media of one of these with a few years wear? The patina looks otherworldly.

I already have a master in business administration but I work in a position where I need to bridge the communication gap between Business and IT stakeholders so I thought it would be useful to learn a bit more about the IT side so I decided to get a Master enterprise IT architecture.

This awesome forum is indeed a welcome distraction

Love October. Spiegel. Seems like I am reaching for it the most.

Nice.... and agree wholeheartedly about the forum.

As one now with 7 letters after my name, you can never have enough education.

Beautiful hide. I met member HH a couple/few years ago and he was wearing a jacket in this hide. As he was speaking I reached out and started touching his sleeve. I did not realize I was doing it. I was that mesmerized. He just looked at me. Will never forget that moment. Lol.

I can tell you can manage your time very well. That is a good skill in itself. Very cool!

thank you, man. I usually mind my own business when I am out with my two little boys or with family in our little town in western pa They keep my hands/ brain full as if I am on blinders and focused on them when I am out lol... I did get asked about jackets in general few times when I was traveling by air or train. It is a good conversation starter for sure...

Yep, that worn look/ patina was the trigger for me to buy this few months ago

Yes, the hide is great.
So far I only knew CXFQHH, but I like the CXSH better. Firm but still somehow soft.
The moleskin lining has worked out great. The CXL are usually chilly at 10 degrees celsius, but with the moleskin I was out today with just longsleeve and this jacket for a city trip. Have worn the jacket continuously for 12 hours and find it very comfortable.
I need to take good photos now.
Funny thing on the side... my wife said today that if she loses sight of me, then she can follow the smell of the jacket. That's how strong the leather smell is. LOL

Amazing, man, take good care of that beauty and it will last infinite lifetimes, getting better and better as each year and decade passes.

Nice! I do something very similar. More as a consultant nowadays, but I used to be the "whisperer" between the techie people and the people who just wanted to make things bigger, faster, better.

Score. I think I done good.

I’d say you did great.
