What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[MikeinRome]

Resistol fedora and vintage Avirex jacket. I've seen similar jackets on eBay priced near or over $1000, not as nice as this one I found in 2007 at Salvation Army for $35.

Thank you @JMax for posting the link to this Windward in Finds and Deals. My first vintage jacket and it’s perfect—I’d wanted something that was lined and could function like a winter coat. It’s in amazing condition (likely a new mouton collar?) and fits perfectly with a sweater.

Cheers,

David

The jacket is awesome. And those gloves… chef’s kiss!

Haha—thanks. My wife knit the gloves so they are special.

That jacket is beautiful and looks great on you. You hit perfection on your first attempt at a vintage jacket?!? Even better.

Layering a bit. Type II jacket from Sugar Cane layered with a nubuck leather shirt.

The lack of inside pockets in some vintage jackets annoys me to no end, and I do not care about period correctness if I wear the jacket. Sorry about the rant, now on to some pics:

I’m the same as you, lack of inside pockets annoys me immensely.

Thanks for posting those pics Will. Great looking jacket. They did a great job with your inside pocket. I am also on team inside pocket. I hope to send my 618 out to get an inside pocket added, maybe two. That is my main gripe with my Schott. The one they supply is kinda useless. lol.

The leather looks superb! Heavy?

CXL thickness for sure, at least 3.5oz.

Rainbow Country makes the nicest G-1’s, and that’s a real beauty.

Thanks. Rainbow Country makes really nice stuff.

Well not so much "wearing" just rather goofing around a bit.
See the related thread that should appear in a few minutes...

Thank you mate! Much appreciated

The boots are from a brand I work for called ‘Bright Shoemakers’. We designed and set up the boot, on my suggestion, when I got hired. I think the result is pretty good. Glad you like them!

Aero Premier Highwayman in Black Badalassi Steer. I recently gave this one the hot water treatment. I'm not necessarily recommending it. There will be shrinkage, but I've done it successfully with several Aero jackets.

Can you go wrong with this combination? Personally, I think it’s impossible to mess up the classics.
