What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[AeroFan_07]

I get no complaints out of my tripod.

Been doing this for some time now. Get a cheap ebay DSLR from the mid-2000's that works on SD cards, keep it mounted on it, move it around. Easier to use than a cell phone, and can set the resolution to a lower MP so it loads right in on FL. I use a Nikon D60, the Tripod, which is a ProMaster brand, may cost more than the camera these days: https://www.promaster.com/Product/3426

A nice D60 outfit: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Nikon-D-D6...060014&hash=item4b7a74d9b6:g:Nx0AAOSwRSpezKQ6

Any smilar camera or point and shoot will work very well, and since most of the deprecaition is already gone, you don't take such a hit. (Such as a new i-phone for $799 that will be worth $0.00 in 2 years.)

Actually, yeah! My ex loved to take photos of details, she'd take the additional 10 photos of the snaps, zippers and grain, anything she found interesting on a jacket she normally didn't care much for. It was nice.

As nice as this attribute was, the real gem is finding someone who'll stick with you till the end. And that person is out there for you.

BK Cossack. Badalassi cowhide.

Is that the russet Badalassi? Looks great!

Did you ask for permanent, non-adjustable D-rings for the waist?

Not really wearing it as it’s way too hot for it, but this vintage 70’s suede trucker arrived today. Great and comfortable fit, I’m happy. This whole trucker quest can end now.

Good Wear Leather Coat Company Two Tone Italian Horsehide in russet with seal accents.
Taking a break from the beach, thought I would see if I still fit into this jacket. I don't wear jeans, or leather jackets much these days, and it was cloudy so I gave it a go, but just couldn't put on any shoes. This jacket is really a unique design and probably the only one like it. JC sure does nice work.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a jacket I like more than this one. This is THE Arcadia. The whole look is spot on man. Excellent!

What happened with the Aero? Did you return it?

I will return it when they open in July. As nice as it was, and in a looooot of ways it is so much nicer than this old Ibex (leather quality, styling details, hardware, construction) it didn’t fit me comfortable in the shoulder area.

Aye, shame to hear that. Well, you got this perfection of a suede trucker, instead! All good!

It’s a real bummer to have to send it back. First time that I’ve had to return an Aero. But yeah, this is a great replacement jacket!

There’s something about it though.

Glad to see you are keeping it for awhile. Hope her machine and needles can handle The Real Deal.

The Vanson AR3 without the armor installed weighs in at 7.1 lbs. @Hh121 thought you would be interested. Nice, and impressive for a cafe, straight zip jacket.

Impressive, definately 4oz hide, no more heavy jacket for me, my Wested indy jacket weights 3.6 lbs and I love it.

Dena is the real-er deal. Plus all the fight has been taken out of the leather via a belt sander. It’s basically just like a lump of brown clay.

Hijacked account.

Breaking in again, came back from mini market, the front is darkening just from being hung on my window frame facing out when not being worn

 

[jonesy86]

That spread collar works so good with the curved frontpanel design!

Thanks. Yeah, I think the contrasting colors make the collar pop.

Thanks Ton. My leather jacket collection is comparatively limited. Your adventures are always an inspiration.

I feel like someone just walked over my grave. You ok HH? Is this a cry for help?

Lol, I am more than just ok, lightweight skin is fun.
