What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[John Lukich]

Hope that my own CR develops sleeves like this. Looks great!

That one looks like it’s become your go-to jacket. I can easily see why, hard to improve on.

I’m hoping the incoming Thedi Buffalo gives it a run for its money or I just wasted a boat load of AUD with the poor exchange rate...

Hopefully you’ll skip import Tax too.

^^Benny, you don’t know how right you are..
More of an omission than a lie..so when she asks me next fall if this is a new jacket , I can honestly say no, I’ve had it for a while..

I’ve used that line so many times. LOL

And here’s the thing: time is relative. So if I opened the box at noon and my wife sees it at 7 pm, I can still say I’ve had it “a while.” A while can be several hours, days, months....

My wife is no longer appeased by the "I've had it for a while" reply. She has caught on to my intentionally imprecise and indirect responses to her "is that new" query.

I use a Clinton-esque tecnhique.

It depends how you define "new". New this week, this month or this quarter?

She's long ago seen right through the, "oh, this old thing?"

ELMC J-100? Looks like it was made for you!

I'm so close to buying that. I have a Californian that fits perfectly. Measurements lead me to believe that the J-100 is close enough that the same size "should" work. Only issue is that my Californian is a long. Long in the J-100 isn't returnable.

This is going to become one of Aero's top sellers and for a reason. Fantastic looking jacket!

Thank you for your positive feedback! I also like it a lot, especially in this combination.

My recent eBay score, early 80s Vanson Model F. Surprised at how great the leather is, thick with lots of grain. Love the styling, kinda 40s-ish.

Looks great! Now break it in and make it look even better! My BL is receiving more compliments the more worn it looks. (Still cannot help but be slightly annoyed with myself every time I scratch that fairly sensitive topcoat... )

Thanks, its such a great easy to grab and go jacket and I'm lucky that I seem to fit the Eastman pattern pretty well.

I would say the 42 J-100 fits a little closer to my 40 Californian rather than my 42 Cali.

The main difference between the two Cali's is the room in the body anyway, there isn't a huge amount of different in the shoulders and chest between the 40 and 42 and the J-100 is fairly trim through the body.

Thanks for the clarification! Much appreciated.
