What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

The teardrop pulls indicate 60s to me.

Good to know, thanks! How much did the design of this style really change over the years?

A good day for a 23-oz Wingman.

Late 60's to 70's.

Are teardrop pulls earlier than ring pulls, or the other way round?

Are teardrop pulls earlier than ring pulls, or the other way round?

I think simple ring pulls were first, then chevrons, then teardrops. Roughly 40s, 50s, 60s, respectively. Maybe @tmitchell59 can chime in.

So maybe 50's for these?

No, later. Teardrop are late 60's and mainly entire 70's. Simple ring and diamond pulls have been manufactured since the 1940's though they've been produced for a while. The cruder, the newer.

Nice jacket, what is it? (BTW you got a serious sneakers habit there, buddy!)

 

[Observe]

Same jacket as yesterday, five star. I did hit it with a tiny, tiny bit of Urad diluted with a drop of Tenderly just to put a bit of a sheen on the leather and make it feel a bit more "premium". I think it's a subtle improvement.

The Talon tear drops are c.1960 as far as I can determine. They go on in the 60s, maybe early 70s. There are also non branded imitations.

Most ring pulls are impossible to date, they were used in the earliest days of the zipper. There are a couple of distinct ring pulls, but most are generic as far as I can determine.

They went into the 80’s with Vanson and Bates m/c gear. Brooks too.
I actually have the YKK and Talon version on this jacket:
