What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Haven’t taken this off. I won’t spam but it deserves at least one halfway decent pic. It reminds me of a sawed off peacoat done up in mega heavy suede. And I am in love with it.

Spam that thing! I bet that 7lbs feels like 2 with all the lift that collar is generating in the Windy City. Ton’s jackets don’t have collars, they have aerofoils.. and it’s glorious.

Red Kap work uniform jacket. I bought this jacket probably in 1989 on a street corner in Atlanta, at a burned out gas station not far from the Federal Pen (and not far from the late lamented Harold’s barbecue!). There was a one-eyed woman selling racks of already well used workwear, and I got this jacket for three dollars. Have worn it probably thousands of times since then… Still going strong. I love it!

yes, I was trying to find supplier of "lift the dot" style button like on ww2 style magazine pouch, and canteen cover, I know recent canteen cover maker in my country use it but I can't find anyone that sells it to public perhaps military gear contractors have special right for it here. I saw supplier in alibaba but I need to buy in bulk, while aliexpress has been banned from my country, so this is the closest I can find the twist lock

thank you I appreciate it :) this is the doodle I made for it

You call that a doodle? Lol

You obviously have a keen eye for design and detail - maybe you should make a doodle thread sometime. I’m sure lot of us would be interested in checking out your ideas.

Nice jacket. If you post some detailed pics of the jacket and ask for ID, I am sure TFL experts will ID it. They are amazing.
Not a bad idea. Here are more. Figured it was Cal Leather, but wasn't sure with the half-sewn epaulets. And appears there was a vertical white tag removed from the liner pocket. Thanks in advance.

I had a cal like that, with epaulettes. Also had an u usual chest zip.
The tag shape might indicate it carried a resellers label rather than the Cal label.
