What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Tom71]

Promised to take some fit pics of the Flying Dominator and FW Brakeman, so I'll post them here, accompanied by the jacket I'm actually wearing today: an early RMC A-2.

Lewis Leathers Flying Dominator, Nappa Sheepskin, Size L:

Freewheelers Brakeman, Size 44, Rude Black Shinki Horsehide:

The Real McCoy's (New Zealand) Dubow 27798 A-2, Russet Brown Horsehide, Size 46:

Any thoughts?

The LL feels borderline too snug and I'm debating with myself whether keeping only either it or the RMC.

I absolutely love the LL. The leather is something else!

Do you have measurements? It may fit (could be „borderline snug“ for me too ), and if you decide to move it, I’d be all game!

I'm really liking the leather of the LL as it's not comparable to anything else I have owned, LL's other sheepskins included. The Flying Dominators are also the hen's teeth, so I'm very reluctant to admit that the chest is mayhaps too tight.

I'll measure it for you anyways Tom later today.

@the shivman, such a great old-timey look. Just for fun, I permitted myself to alter your pic a bit to see if it could be made indistinguishable from a period photo. With your permission of course, I can take it down if you wish.

That's super cool, I love it. Is that a filter, or did you use a program to make it? cheers

^^

Both. In Photoshop I first removed the color and applied Sepia filter and grain. Then I used online funny.pho.to to apply their vintage effect. You can do the whole thing in Photoshop but it is more time consuming. The above combo (PS/funny.pho.to) works very well, I think.

Thank you. Much appreciated!

I think the jacket is perfect. But I also like the jackets rather tight.
I hope my LL Corsair in dark brown Sheepskin comes soon.

Sun in Chicago, if only for a minute. Dusting off the ‘ol 5 Star for a food and liquor run in anticipation of watching the GB Packers get their asses kicked in prime time tonight.

Thank you. I can wear it open, esp. when having a light-ish shirt underneath, but it's a bit too snug when zipped up.

@Tom71 here come the measurements (in cm, not in freedom units):

P2P: 57 (1-2 more when stretched)
Shoulder: 50
Sleeve: 63
Back: 62

Drop me a line if you are interested. Can be shipped from Europe.

Edit. Happy to arrange also a trade deal.

Aero Blizz for today:

1980’s vintage Willis & Geiger G-1 (with sweater & thermal shirt underneath on a frigid cold day). The aged, dark russet goatskin & faded mouton fur collar exactly match a WWII W&G M-422a that I have in my collection.

That’s one hell of a jacket. Looks superb. And any team that faces Green Bay is my favorite team of the day.

My long awaited JL jacket arrived. 4oz+ overdye. WOW. Might take a few years to get some creases. Fit is a little roomy, but I have no problems with a hoodie underneath.

I finally had someone around to snap a few pics right out of the box. I didn't know my little granddaughter did a photo bomb. lol. She was actually helping with the break-in, she was chewing on my sleeve leather zipper pull, adding some patina. lol.

Damn!! Looks like an upgraded version of a model E. Nicely done!!

 

[JMax]

@roadking04 Awesome!! I was working in SF recently and popped into JL for a few minutes. All the time I had— almost walked out with an OTR jacket like this. So damn nice.
