What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[The Lost Cowboy]

@The Lost Cowboy you have an amazing ability to, as they say, “put that **** on.” Anyone who isn’t familiar with that turn of phrase, it’s a compliment

Thanks... I think

Recently managed to acquire a grail of mine, a freenote cloth rj-2 in 17oz black denim, brand new.

Mirror is dirty but the jacket’s CLEAN

I like this shot. You look a like a ghost. Would love to see a clearer photo of the jacket, too.

I thought the Buco was put away for the season, but a cold and windy April day had me bring it back out for a ride.

Lewis Leathers Memphis No.723. Just wearing it around the house until I've got some place to go that isn't work.

I couldn't wait for MTO but my last jacket has squeezed itself into retirement by squeezing me out of it. I think the measurements are good on this size 40 though it's a little stiff and what better way to start the season than with a new jacket!

When the weather fairs better I'm sure it'll work itself out on the bike after some kilometers. I'm itchin'.

Amazing lookin' jacket and fits you like a glove!

The only jacket I’ve been wearing. Couldn’t be happier with this Vanson.

Beautiful J100! Great fit too, congratulations. What leather is this made of?

Thank you. It's Shinki.

Such a great model! Couldn’t fit any better too.

Not the ***iest leather, eh? @dannyk

For me this beats every other leather I’ve owned or handled. Even the famed Shinki. If you find an old Vanson in CW that looks like this, there is no hesitation

Wrangler shacket. I’ve really grown to love these. Have a few more on the way. This one arrived far too long but I’ve found these to be very easy to tailor myself.

Jacket adjacent. Put a Buco sticker on my modern, non-Buco helmet.

Absolutely, but unfortunately they are fantastic at emptying your wallet also

Love it. But still not the ***iest to me haha. I don’t actually have a favorite though. I don’t particularly like Shinki either. I just love a good vintage jacket. And other than chrome and veg we won’t ever know how some of them were made. Some are missing tags and you don’t necessarily know if it’s horse or cow. You can make educated guesses. But something about those classics is just unbeatable. Don’t get me wrong vanson and old CW is amazing. I love that it’s heavy and thick but so wearable. One of my favorites ever was a 90s C2 I owned.

Indeed! all those rolls and wrinkles in the leather really gives the jacket some more "soul" really awesome stuff!

Cheers
