What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[zebedee]

@zebedee Wow the Blattwerk leather looks fantastic and such a beautiful grain. Great jacket! I got Blattwerk samples from SB back in 2017 but the samples did look different than your jacket which was a main reason why I decided not to order a jacket....now it appears that it was a wrong decision.

This Blattwerk is steer/bull - I have samples of the Blattwerk horsehide, too: I am told that the mahogany steer and horse look the same...

It's a nice hide

Some photos of the new SB V2. The actual colour is the darker orange shade (the camera does weird things to colours). I modified it by getting Oakland-style sleeves as I have several button-up cuffs on other jackets. Stitching is tight and uniform. Although it is heavy, the Blattwerk is pliable and the weight is well-distributed across the neck and shoulders so that it doesn't 'hang'. I went for an open double-welt chest pocket and one inner snap-closure one. I'm really impressed with this jacket. Thanks to Debs and Moira.

Cool jacket and very beautiful hide!

Cheers - I am really pleased with the leather and the jacket overall. I was hesitant about a shawl collar at first but I think it's pretty cool

Cal. The old favorite. Not really wearing it as it is 90F outside, just reminding myself how nice it is to belong to the lower caste. Heading to Poland in September, so it will hopefully get some wear.

I believe I found the horsehide version of your jacket. Has a Nelco label.

Looking sharp, Will. You are goals for my future self.

Spend an hour in the park wearing the Rainbow Country Hercules jacket in seal brown colour. The weather is too hot to wear it the whole day…
The jacket is great. I really like the quality and the fit. It is interesting that the colour looks quite different depending on the lighting conditions.
Here are some shots. Any comments about the fit are very welcomed

Thanks. Yeah, the best fit I ever had in this hobby. With vintage it is a hit or miss most of the time; this was definitely a hit.

I'm in seclusion with a stinking hangover today after I had one too many at a BBQ yesterday - and how best to raise my spirits? Wearing my Buco J24L around the house in my pyjamas, much to my wife and daughters dismay, of course.
