What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Got this great early 50s Windward horsehide jacket from @tmitchell59

When I first tried it on with a different set of clothes, I thought it didn't fit. Since then, I've tried it on a few more times and I actually think it fits great!

Yes, that looks great! I believe all these early 50s MC jackets are outstanding, just got to find the right fit.

First one of these I have ever seen on the bay.co.uk

I'm guessing 80's?
A good fit for me I think (no layering space)

Proper mc-pattern. Work the sleeves so you can close the sleevezips all the way, that will make it even better.

Thanks! Yeah I'm working on that. Can't close them right now and I don't want to force it and mess up the zippers. I'll try to break the leather in enough to close them fully.

Great look and fit.

Thanks! Very happy with the fit.

Looks great on you Jake!!

Thanks a lot!

Yeah I don't know why I thought it didn't fit at first.

Made a world of difference on my Schott. I soaked them through so I could close them fully, Then I inserted the shaft of a big fork to flatten the gusset outward and giving it a much lover profile when closed. When it was dry it closed nicely every time.

Yeah I think I'm going to have to soak mine as well. Most of the leather feels broken in and pliable, but the sleeves are tough. Thanks for the advice!

Just came home pedalling from groceryshopping

Indigo×black 14oz type3 ive been wearing for 3-4 years without significant fade, and sashiko fatigue pants with slim fit pattern that fits more like jeans than fatigue pants but perhaps will fade nice later. Sorry for ****tastic photo the sun is gloomy today and the phone camera probably full with fingerprints and lint fresh from the pocket

Look forward to the motorcycle segment. You’ve got some killer bikes, Merv!

I do like my old Diesel. My brother in law gave it to me because it was winter in Scotland and in any event it was too small for him. Sadly, 24 years down the track it only just fits me...There's only two sheets of hide in it. Quality.

Don’t really own anything that special jacket wise, and especially not leather jacket wise (haven’t really worn leather jackets for 10-15 years) but I recently rediscovered this old heavy metal jacket. I bought this about 25 years ago (and it wasnt new then) when I was 15-16 and wore it every day for I don’t know how many years. Don’t know the maker, don’t even know what kind of leather it is made of. Anyways I think I look pretty cool/good in it and that it looks fairly good on me, but I am a 40+ year old teacher so of this looks like a midlife crisis please tell me.

That jacket is cool and a great fit. Wear the hell out of it. I'm a 50 year old teacher and still wear leather jackets. I like them and feel good in them. Too old to worry about what others think, bar the wife.

I want that Venom pin and Possessed patch!!

Nah man it looks great and nice fit on the jacket. That’s awesome it fits you all these years later.

The Possessed-logo is actually handpainted, so it’ll stay put. The pins on the Venom-pin I think is actually glued to the leather so its not going anywhere either.

Considering i’m a few kilos heavier now I kinda wonder how I looked in it as a teen…

 

[dudewuttheheck]

Looks like it fits you really well. Definitely keep wearing it!

 

[Tom71]

First real wear to the new to me Vanson "B".

A bit of room, especially after removing (I guess permanently) the grabby, use- and needless fleece-liner. With the action-back, I may even be able to get myself into a size 40.

I could do without the wind-flap, but otherwise it feels good, and it´s a perfect jacket for this stormy, rainy weather. The hide is Firenze-leather and is very substantial. The grain is pretty uniform, and I am as of yet doubtful regarding patina-potential. Much better than the "new-but-not-brandnew" Competition weight for sure!

Beautiful.

Be careful, you don’t want those men’s gym locker room smells to get into the lining. Ball sweat, dirty towels, cheap cologne, right guard deodorant spray, ice-hot lotion, and whatever other BS. Lol.
