What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[ABCD]

This finally came a couple weeks ago after being stuck in England for months.

Aero August in battered tan horsey. Still breaking it in, but I like it so far.

This is such a great thread, I just can't get enough of looking at everyone's beautiful great fitting jackets.

I agree! I think many/most of us could fill up a thread of ill fitting jackets we have worn and flipped/sold. So many good fits lately what gives! must have learned from others failures haha

So true. I think I've sold about 8 jackets already this year. But just one or two of them could be objectively regarded as I'll fitting. I really loved many of the others when I just got them. But somehow over time you begin to see things others probably don't: the sleeves are a bit too wide, back length could be shorter, or maybe the leather would be nicer of it didn't have that particular finish etc etc. That's when the search for that next jacket which is going to be perfect begins

Apologies for more "self centred complacency" haha.. Vintage Fidelity café racer today , my most recent arrival.

Jacket fits real snug , not a hint of "ballooning". labelled a 44" , must be a "70's" 44" haha... T shirt only jacket this.

First Harley run out , 7C start 17C on the way home. Perfect jacket for today. Some "high speed passes" out of town.

Grainy mobile phone shots at the Indian Ocean. Again , apologies for the "no change of Ocean" folks !

Last nice winter's day here before the next south/sou' west rain pattern. Simmons Bilt Nebraska in black goat today.

7C start , 21C by 2.30pm. Them's the winters I came here for ! Rode the Harley in the arvo a 45 K's round trip.

This jacket "fits" better than it appears in a photo. It just "feels right" tho' some of my others look better in photos.

Where you going every day?

 

[Downunder G Man]

Each dry day my riding group head out on the Harleys , north or south , Indian Ocean coast both ways !

The snaps are taken at the coffee/beer stops on the way. I am "semi retired" at 61 , can't afford to be "fully" retired yet !

Many of my riding crew are long retired , several are in their early to mid 70's , one guy is 80 and the oldest is 90 !

You can see the next front due west in the above photo. Can't say we don't get any warning of it coming !

I missed my Aero Chips. Awesome jacket, even better now with the 2-way zip.

Forgot about the $40 Penney’s jacket. It is pretty darn cool and the 42 fits perfectly. Airing it out a bit. Not a bad smell, and it’s almost gone. It’ll stay on my stoop for weeks, no way I wear this thing with the weather down here anyways.

 

[Bushman]

That is very nice! Penney's, you say? I'll have to keep an eye out.

Just what I need! Another Fall jacket to stuff in my closet.

Usual jacket, i hope it gets browner closer to that darker tan color on my boots by the end of this year. Not sure if i should just let the uv does its thing or i should oil it to get it to the next step.
Need to go out to buy flag since our independence day is nearing, and to stock paper (a4 paper ok, NOT toilet paper...)

Oil it up, buddy! I would be worried about the sun and heat making the leather dry.

How many dogs do you have? I have two and we 100% need more pictures of dogs and jackets. The world is pretty shi**y right now and dogs and jackets would make it just that much more tolerable. Someone should
Make that thread.

Yup! I have a natural belt from 1350. It came in a very very pale color. I put the thinnest layer of pecards on it and left it in the sun for 4-5 hours and it’s now a much more wearable and pretty color. Sorry for the ****py pics as I took them right now on the way out the door for work after reading this. But you’ll get the point and see the difference just one thin layer and a few hours makes.
