What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Merv]

I just got this big Smith in the mail that I'm wearing today, but I'm not too crazy about the fit.

It's a nice dark blue denim, the quality overall is nice, I like the blanket lining, and I like the shoulder gussets on the back.
The shoulders hang over a bit and the sleeves are a little long though.

overall for a 36 regular the fit is fine except for the shoulders and sleeve length.
It's a passable fit I think, but not the most ideal.

That’s a size 36?? Either it was mid-labeled or oversized for sure.

Possibly.
Everything else aside from the shoulders and arm length are about right for the other size 36 denim jackets I have.

There it is. Perfection, down to the long sleeve zips and massive patch pocket. Love the design of the back yoke, HB and attached belt. Very early 40s Herc. The hide looks amazing. You adding the gray collar=cherry on top. This Lawrence is the best.

I got this jacket from Terry.

I thought that jacket looked familiar. I owned several of these, I have a black Horsehide remaining. I don't see them today, I had a brown one too.

same front different back

Regius corded square pocket jacket pattern test. This is someone else's jacket/size. Just trying out the square corded pockets. This pattern test jacket has like 4 different leathers, from different Horweens to Shinki. The final build is gonna make some one very happy.

Still trying to figure out how to style it and to build up the confidence to wear this without thinking too much of it, but hopefully both come with time!

That is a TRICKY one! How to style indeed... It's got an 80's Eddie murphy/MJ kinda vibe to it mixed with MotoGP to my eye. Maybe you could juxtapose it with something unexpected, or go bold, wear it with primary colors? Either way, great find and I wish you all the best on what promises to be a creative journey!

I was thinking the opposite, keep the rest of the outfit very subdued e.g. grey. Guess I just have to explore!

The outfit in your pic looks cool and is how I would wear the jacket. Others would do it differently. Seriously, just wear the GD thing and enjoy it.

Tmitchell, would love to see how these fit on you.

The best look and easiest is on my youtube channel linked below. Go there and search Hercules. You will find a video of me wearing each of these jackets, maybe 4 different jackets.
