What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Herrvallmo]

Rockin' the Schott 618 today, really love the pattern on this beauty(made late 80's - early 90's)!

Cheers

Wearing my Japan Blue Jeans Sashiko coverall for some chilly mornings on the jobsite. I went for an XL for shoulder and sleeve clearance, but it leaves me with a baggy chest and waist area. I wish I could have tried on a large but I think the loose fit is good for layering.

Doesnt look baggy at all. In fact, looks to be a pretty perfect fit.

Working in the pizza industry, all my work clothes end up smelling like pepperoni.

So I decided to make this Schott 125 my work jacket this winter. This guy is warm and very easy to wear, and there's no problem with a cycle or two through the washing machine.

Today was its first day on the job.

Started the day with 613 in CXL. Ending with Headwind A2 Racer in buffalo. This jacket improved in looks and comfort considerably with the collar in a more relaxed down position.

A heavily underrated Aero design, IMO. Glad to see one popping up once in a while!

Aero Plainsman CXL FQHH

Very cool jacket apart from the mini chest pocket.
What's the difference between a Plainsman and a regular 30s/50s half belt?

It´s deliberately cut longer than the standrad 1930´s Halfbelt. The zipper is set a little higher, so it´s not just an elongated HB, but rather a slimmer version with a silhoutte that flares out at the hem.

You need to get the proportions right, but when you do, it looks really classy, IMO.

You can´t achieve the same look by adding 2" to the standard HB as this will be just a jacket that´s too long (and in which you cannot sit down when the jacket is zipped up).

A bit like a V-cut Cafe Racer that only looks good if it end at your hip bones vs. a classic J-100 which extents a bit below the zipper so that it reaches your back pockets.

Great piece man. I used to go on his site just to look at this jacket. If you ever let it go, you know where to find me.

Hi, it's been a while since I posted here, I've aged a bit, quit smoking, put on a few pounds as well, but my Aeros still fit.

Great looking jackets - really like the button up model.

I've aged 10 years since I joined the Fedora Lounge, I never smoked (thankfully) and some of us have put on a few pounds over the years as well. But, as you said - your Aero's still fit which is the most important part.

We all age but we'll never be younger than we are today. Tomorrow could bring new adventures and possibly a new outerwear discovery! Thanks for posting.

Good to see you back, Dav. Still the coolest Highwayman ever.
