Third week + of Shanghai lockdown. Wearing the Aero Mariner on trips to the balcony for cups of tea.

No-name again. The jacket is heavy (5.8 lbs after Obenauf's treatment - softened the leather a great deal), but sits on the shoulders very well and causes no fatigue after all day running errands yesterday. Also, the leather was very squeaky before Obenauf's; it is totally quiet after. Just a data point for those with squeaky jackets. :)

I am utterly amazed by the quality of this hh Kit Karson. It's a tier above my 50s steerhide Hercules and Windward mc jackets. Two tiers maybe.

The wool lining had a few holes in it which I fixed today. Next up are the gussets, I need to install an elastic band to pull them in. That'll be a job for next weekend.

There's a size 40 for sale by the way. It looks to be in even better condition. Very reasonably prized:

As nice as jackets get.

The black sun Kit has 22” P2P btw.

Your jacket looks great. I like a jacket with a little wiggle room. I think it makes the jacket easier to wear.

Thanks for the squeaky jacket tip. I am having that problem now with a heavy CXL horsehide. I have about 150 hours of wear on it right now. It is STUPID loud. I think it might be getting louder with wear. lol. I have yet to try anything but wear it, so far. I don't think it will go away on its own, like I was hoping.
