What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Sean66]

Super nice LW Type III - looks like it's ******-proof!

Thanks! It certainly feels ******-proof. Still breaking it in, but I don’t think that beast will ever be completely tamed!

Chilly day in which I've run out of dishwashing liquid. As an old lady in a posh neighbourhood, I've dressed up (if you can call it that) and wore the Model E to the shop. I didn't bring a bag so unlike the old lady I just went down the street with a Fairy bottle in my hand.

I trust your day has been as eventful as mine!

I hope you took a pic of it out-of-the-box. Always worth revisiting to see how much you tamed it.
For instance, this is my Appalachian after about a year - though not worn each day.

Shout out to this 90s Gap Trucker. I wanted a lightweight piece of leather to try over the summer and bought this in June. It has a sturdy cotton drill liner.

This guy has very much passed the test. I can wear it all the way up until about 90 F and it's absolutely perfect for a day like today (right around 80).

Not bad for 105 USD all in, though I do wish it had an internal pocket.

Got my action-back Aero CR back from re-lining in Poland today.
Not sure about the lining they used. It's on the soft and rather thinner side, even has some stretch to it.
We shall see how it holds up - for now some kind of lining is much better than no lining at all.

Here's a couple of shots that I took to compare the fit side by side with my other jackets while wearing a t-shirt + medium thickness wool sweater.
Rugged West J-24 style "Rugged Rider 3.0 / III" in tea-core steerhide - only really works with a t-shirt due to the very slim sleeves. Good for warm weather.
Aero CR with an action back in black CXL FQHH - definitely my widest jacket in the mid/upper body, but that makes it very very comfortable when layered up. I'd prefer slightly longer sleeves, but this length is acceptable.
Vanson model E / Highwayman in extra stiff competition weight - comfortably roomy upper and mid sleeves, tight cuffs, comfortably tight mid and lower torso, nice and roomy upper back. My best fitting jacket in my own opinion. Both in terms of looks and comfort. Wish the back and sleeves were a bit shorter though.
Aero Hooch Hauler in brown CXL FQHH - not very good forward reaching mobility and not the widest sleeves for layering, but very nice and flattering short body length and width.

That's the current lineup / stable. Octagon Vanson B inbound.

The two Aeros are my favourites. At least in these pictures.

ELMC J-100 again today.

Such a great jacket and so easy to throw on.

Rugged West today, The Marling

Still wearing the same thing I wore yesterday and the day before that and actually every day for the past week.

The office is empty prior to a long weekend so I’m wearing my new vintage Lee 220 jacket. Trying to feel more comfortable with this one. I like the overall cropped and V fit with dropped shoulders, but I’m still wondering if it’s a bit too short for me.

Not quite jacket weather here in Chicago but this IH Wabash shirt makes a nice shacket. These are too heavy for shirts IMO. I like the Levi’s Barstow westerns best for denim shirts, the IH makes a wonderful in between piece though.

I really should get the Cubby blue one as I fear the black and white might be misunderstood and paint me as a White Sox sympathizer.

Same day, different jacket:

 

[BarryMcCockiner_PhD]

heading out to a concert tonight with a new to me thedi MTC-127949 I recently picked up from a member here. The black teacore HH smells wonderful and maybe another -5lbs down before I can zip it comfortably YOLO!

Trying things out, Type 3 with Shackleton on top.
Kind of makes it a two tone.

 

[X83]

Kicking things off this weeknd with modified aero sunburst paired with Jackrabbit shinki Mto boots

 

[ProteinNerd]

Jacket weather is coming to an end here so trying to get as much wear as I can.

ELMC Roadstar in Walnut today.

I know it's not the fit check thread, but I think the other way around, with the Type III open may look better. Think I've seen some other lounger doing something similar.

Nice jacket! I'm not familiar with that brand, and Google isn't finding it either. Can you link to the site where you got it?
