What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Greetings All:
Today....this is the one that started it all for me. At least around here. Resurrected from cardboard crispy dry with Pecards to squeaky beasty. My 50+ y.o. Cal black beast, bested in weight only by an old E buttery Beowulf.
Be well. Bowen

GB Indy jacket in goat, one size down in T, snug at the chest but what the heck, I’ll treat it as a slim
Jacket and live with it considering it’s extinct

Considering it's Indy jacket which was designed to be slightly roomy all over and to feel very very comfy - this particular one looks at least two sizes too small. May be even three. Still nice jacket though, very like this pattern too, esp. BK version.

What size is it? It looks ok to me it's just that Indy jackets are usually worn two or three sizes too large and often look like a sack of ****. I also have a goat one as a 42T - it's a bit floppy but I recently wore it as a travel jacket in coldish Tasmania and it really did the job well. I often thought of getting a trim one more like yours.

It looks good to me. That's how I would wear them.

Probably the most comfortable jacket I own. The jacket equivalent of sweat pants.

Perfect fit IMO, wouldn't change a thing.
Two things i have learnt, when Stuart says "very heavy" he means it, also he is a wizard as far as sizing goes.
I was worried about bottom hem diameter and sleeve length, he nailed it.

Oh yes! Looks bang on!! It must be very close to 5oz, you will love the feeling of it after a week of intensive wear

Thx, it comes in a 3,43kg/7.56Lb, the 3.5oz J-24 is 2.98kg / 6.57lb, it still doesn't beat my Chopper as the heaviest jacket i own!

Very nice. I agree, great fit Carlos..!!

That is perfect! Congrats, you must be stoked. How does the jacket feel when worn compared to your J-23? I am trying to get a baseline to help me decide whether I go for the Leathertogs or another of Stuart's offerings.

Thanks, yep i am very happy with it.
Can't really say much about how it "feels", i have worn it an hour and it still feels very very stiff.
Will post a review in a couple weeks once it is broken in and i have lived with it a bit more.
But first impressions are good, it has roomy shoulders, very well designed/comfortable pits that are very high but not tight even when reaching forward, no binding/restriction in the biceps either which is a common thing.
It is definitely a great pattern, it feels like once broken in it will be up there with my Columbia as far as comfort goes.
One thing i really like is the deerskin lining in the wrists, it feels really nice.

Edit: and although i don't think it's mentioned on the website, this jacket has a cotton interliner and is actually quite warm.
