Is it brand new? Is it a custom as per no belt loops?

Sent my Dave Sheeley custom jacket to Dena (Great Leathers) to reline the sleeves with something less grabby, and to shorten the sleeves a bit, and fix a loose button. As always, Dena did great work, and I’ve got it back just in time for the chillier weather.

Its finally get cold enough in the mornings to wear jackets in Colorado. Trying to get some wear on the rugged west I picked up in the spring.

I don’t know when Al’s stopped making jackets but I’m guessing it’s from late in their output. I got it from a leather guy on eBay who said it was unworn so he probably got it new from Leatherman NYC. It came with a pin badge for a NYC leather bar that was open from 94-04, so I’m guessing it’s late 90s, but that’s very much a guess!

All the Al’s, and many of the Cals produced for the leather scene were sans belt loops, I think, so no indication that it’s custom other than for that particular stockist/scene. There’s quite a few similar setup Al’s floating around out there.

Sorry my bad, I seen Al's and I thought Cal for some reason. A rare bird regardless with the padding

Single-stitching on sleeve was tell-tale sign of Al’s. See below link:

Guide to Vintage Leather Jackets

I’vd been trying to avoid vintage/worn in jackets … just because I'm not educated enough to understand their value, it deeply confuses me why some are worth £90 and some £900. The above comment is commonly echoed among new forum members. Let’s crowdsource a guide on vintage leather jackets...

@TheOldFashioned that jacket is so nice looking, I love it! Is it cotton or rayon? Well done.

Glad you are enjoying. You are wearing it well!

Excellent! Never fit so well on me. Looks sleek and from ages past in equal measure on you. Undoubtedly a designer piece, though.

Also, I don't know how nice your day is but I don't recall ever wearing anything more comfortable & breathable which was yet keeping me warm but linen x cotton combo is heaven.

Thanks!
Only thing is sleeve length will be taking a bit getting used to.
It felt good at around 15°C but if need be I have a little room to layer.
Really happy with both blazers!

Nice, what jeans are these?

These are 21oz bootcut from Soso.

I immediately looked for anything available in these blazers once I saw this photo. Nice

Vietnam-era G-1. I found this in Bangkok last year.

It's just cowhide and a fake mouton collar, but dang this thing is cool.

Autumn is supposed to be here tomorrow. I am excited.

 

[Tomwiththeweather]

Gap trucker again. This thing is such a nice weight… heavy enough to provide some warmth and sense of quality, but light enough that if the temp goes up during the day you don't start regretting wearing the thing.
