What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[ton312]

Another suede trucker arrived. It’s decent. Fairly tight, even with my shrinking physique. No label in it but I think it might be a Brimaco of all things. It’s lined in that grabby nylon that I’ve only ever seen from Brimaco or British cycle racers and it’s the same bright orange too. Collar needs to be worked a bit.

Ton, the RRLs from last Fall have great collars:

It has occurred to me that there are few pictures of the Centinela worn open. So here are three more gratuitous photos!

That's a cool chain!

That's a cool chain!

That is a blued titanium chain, that I converted into a pocket watch chain. It is connected to a 1902 Hamilton grade 960.

Thanks for noticing!

Doesn't seem small at all. 5 button closure looks good.

Pretty tight across the back yoke. I like it though. I think I’ll table this quest for now.

Cool jacket, all that muscle is to much for it though!

I don't care but my guess is internet *******t, fueled by middle aged men with nothing better to do, acting like entitled little babies while criticizing others when they really need to take a long hard look at themselves.

Kind of describes most BS on the internet.

Yeah that's my perspective. There was one guy on Sufu who had legitimate feedback and for the people who read my response, I think you can tell that I agree that his feedback made sense and I definitely am definitely thinking about what he said.

You guys aren't seeing the passive aggressive jabs in the other threads.

I don't mind the criticism of my photos at all. I mind the idea that me having a blog makes me a greedy, stupid person which is the characterization I get from a couple of those grumpy old men with nothing better to do.

I think aside from the what jacket are you wearing thread, this place is pretty honest. If something looks bad or doesn't fit well, we say so.

It’s all gone dude. I’m shrinking like a worm on the sidewalk in mid July. Be happy to get back in the gym and blow the seams right to pieces.

Does get tiresome though when some always offer compliments even if a new jacket fit is glaringly wonky or honestly not a good look for the person. I think honesty should be most important rather than always complimenting any look just to be nice.

However, an honest opinion can be given in a nice way rather than presented in a way seeming like an attack. Such as: ' The cap would look so much better on you if it you'd give it a more lived in shape and perhaps wear at a slight tilt instead of a straight on new hat appearance that stands out'.

Listing what you don't like about various postings on other forums by a member is a form of getting personal and over doing just to create ( as you say ) drama, IMO. Like an attempt to discredit in a way....and for what..just the drama.

I realize now I shouldn't have said anything. I forgot so many people here read those forums too. I just wanted to thank everyone for the kind words here and for helping me feel better.

Sadly I don’t have anything at one. I’ve created something like a makeshift prison gym in my basement but it’s just not enough. Starting to get to me a bit. Yesterday I volunteered at a food pantry unloading 24 pallets of food boxes. More because I wanted to lift as opposed to a social justice motive. I was actually disappointed at the number of volunteers. Lol. True though. I’m getting real squirrelly.

My next door neighbor broke up his concrete patio this week, with a sledgehammer! He's quite ready to get back to the gym too. I'll be helping him out loading a dump trailer tomorrow which will give some good arm, leg and hopefully not foot workouts. Suprising isn't it how quickly the muscle-mass melts off outside the gym it seems. At least hay-baling season isn't far off so I may be out doing that this year.

Nothing beats cold hard steel used for big boy compound moves, squat, deadlift, bench. But a 45 weight vest an some db will work you enough to get a good nights rest after nutrition time!

What makeshift workout did you to today? Coming to a thread near you soon!
Nothing beats a good workout, nutrition, and leather jackets!!

Been three years I've started working at a warehouse. Lifting boxes and crates at least 3 hrs a day on average, with the rest of the time spent on boxing or just collecting things from shelves. Physical work most of my work time. Never have been skinnier. Zero gains. XD Lol must be nutrition...
