Super hot right now but bandmates wanted to take a photo wearing all black.

Good excuse to take out my FiveStar:

Did you wet or condition before the clamps?

Yes to conditioning. Jacket is an Apparel Annex

Just got my Kehoe back from Dena at Great Leathers, who replaced the zipper gone bad and gave it a Urad treatment. Very happy with the results!

Thanks, the glasses are from Shuron, which believe it or not has been in business continually since 1865!
Every couple of years when I need a new prescription I replace them with exactly the same model. And the nice thing is that they make dedicated clip on sunglasses, which don’t look as dorky as the clip ons I remember from the 1970s and 80s.

It’s going to be way too hot to wear this today, so I’m wearing it in the air conditioned house a bit this morning. Lol. Can’t wait for cooler weather!!

I was discussing this jacket in another forum and thought it might be fun to share it here. It's obviously way too hot outside to actually wear it... (although I guess that's not obvious if you're in the southern hemisphere).

1960s Windward. Marked size 20 so I believe it's a child's jacket. The fit is almost spot on for me though.

An incredibly comfortable jacket with a crazy attractive liner, flawless corduroy hem and some gnarly graining on the side panels.

Happy Fourth of July to everyone but especially my fellow U.S. Americans.

This is such a stunner! Can’t wait to see how it looks once you get some wear and creases on it. Roll-on the end of summer!

What a beauty! That fits you so well. My first thought is maybe the tag is for women’s sizes, but there is nothing in the cut or design of the jacket that looks feminine so I dunno.

Yeah, nothing about this says female to me either. I'm convinced it's a child size. I looked up vintage child sizes and most charts only go to 18 but I did find some that went all the way to 20.

Interesting. I’ve read that kids are maturing faster than fifty years ago, so maybe they did do size 20 in youth sizes in the past. My son is 14 and wears Size 14 shirts - he is about 5’8.

What size do you normally wear?

Size 38. I'm 5'11, 155-165 lbs.

In fast fashion, I've found that the smallest men's size is sometimes too large for me. I have bought the XL child's size more than once.

Vintage leather jackets for boys went up to size 22. Take a look at the bottom right of this Sears Hercules (Fraternity Prep) booklet from 1956 for junior boys’ leather jackets:

Thanks! Guess I can safely expand my eBay size search parameters now.

Now you mention it, I do remember seeing charts with size 22 on them. There was a lot of variation - some charts only went as large as 14.

I didn't look long... just long enough to satisfy my suspicion that the Windward was a child's jacket.

Thanks! Guess I can safely expand my eBay size search parameters now.

I have never searched child sizes on eBay (not even sure if you can?), but I have seen a few pop up on search results. Mostly I see them listed under women's jackets.
