What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Rugged West - Marling. My only leather jacket right now, trying to get a custom order started for a black one through Johnson Leathers View attachment 762077

This is the nicest I’ve seen from RW. Great collar!

Interesting, I didn't expect that.

I also didn't know they were responsible for Brennemans belts.
I've had a few of their tooled western belts that I bought at the local feed store, and when I recently went looking online I could not find a single trace of the company.

I recently got something else that I actually like more ( all American belt from main Street forge, not tooled but a nice stout 10oz leather), but I still want another Brennemans tooled belt for Christmas...etc

It warmed up to the low 60's today so I went with the flannel lined JCP plain pockets and my deerskin vest.

West Australian "copy" of an Eastman Luftwaffe jacket in black goat with light (and now well worn) black cotton lining.
Made bespoke for me over 25 years ago. Was worn almost daily for years as I rode motorcycles to work on all dry days.
It got a wear today in the roster as our motorcycle ride had a forecast top of 29C but 77% humidity.
jacket still fits well if a tad squeezy in the mid-riff haha...

Great Schott!

Wore the same jacket myself today (photo obviously not from today)

Nice jacket! How old is it? I just purchased one...fits well and all but my gripe with it is the leather is TOO perfect...feels artificial, like vinyl. Weird, eh?

Today I'm in my black Flat Head single riders jacket. I’ve had this one for two years, I bought it new directly from TFH. Size 40.



Yesterday I wore my natural/light brown Flat Head single riders, recently bought off eBay. Based on experience with other TFH leather garments from the era, I think it's probably from the mid-late 2000s. Size 42.



Fit on these jackets is about the same; since TFH reorganized after bankruptcy a few years ago, most of their tops run a size larger than before. The latter jacket has a more relaxed fit. I'm quite pleased with both fits, for me these two jackets are just what I want from a black and a light brown jacket.

Nice jackets - but, that Cressida - Wow! Great car and more than a passing resemblance to the Lexus ES 250 that came out in 1989.

Wasn't it classed as the car of every household in the 90s, a sofa on wheels a comfy ride

Thanks! I posted more pics of it in the car thread. It's a wonderful ride. Unlike the ES 250, it's rear wheel drive and powered by a straight six. Nobody even makes a fairly compact, RWD, straight six car anymore (a modern BMW 3-series looks like the Titanic next to my Cressida.) I'm a big fan of the clean, straight lines of mid 80s car design, and the lush interiors. Of course, being a product of Japan at its 1980s height, everything is quality throughout.

Lexus was considered a disrupter of sorts in the beginning - bringing top-tier quality at a more affordable price point compared to Mercedes and BMW at the time.

I bought a new Lexus ES 300 in 2002 - the styling was mediocre but the quality, fit & finish and interior appointments were impeccable. It had a wonderful ride, was extremely quiet and got good MPG. It is long gone but I remember it fondly. Sadly, the more recent offerings are disappointing and way too expensive considering what other brands offer.

I was just about to say the same as the others above. Those Cressida's of the '80's almost out-creased the modern Volvo's (740 & 760) of the day. Funny isn't it how this styling approach still looks fresh today. Plus the I-6 engine - slight differences between it and the Supra. I always wished that Cressida came with a manual, but regardless your looks pristine. Nice jackets too.

Thanks for the info on your Cressida - I consider the styling timeless. I prefer the more dignified/understated styling such as the Toyota Century - it's considered a Japanese Rolls Royce by some.

It may be considered dowdy/staid compared to more stimulating vehicles but it works for me!

Sorry to take this tread down a side street since it's not outerwear related but sometimes it's a good thing.

They did offer it with a W58 five-speed for a couple years, but they were (and are) extremely rare. However, swapping a W58 or other manual transmission is a common mod for enthusiasts of these cars - especially if you get one from a MK III Supra, which has a driveshaft and shifter position that drops right in with no modification. I may do this myself, someday, but I like the four-speed auto and it works fine for now, so I'm in no rush. This car does feel like Toyota's take on the E30.

That's the Greenest Green I've ever seen! Definitely a show stopper. I can see Kermit the Frog wearing this to the Academy Awards show - if he were human.

It’s extremely funky pull up yet goes really nice with raw denim and a pair of black boots. I love it. It’s actually breaking in quite nicely. This jacket was kind of stiff out the box I remember Damon from JL asking me if I was sure I wanted to go with the tack buttons.
