They're having fun! Dogs are the best.

Old picture I posted here a long time ago but as I said we need more dogs and jackets. My Star Sportswear 60s G-1 for sale in classifieds. I’m holding my dog Charlie. He’s my my OG Ride or Die as they say. He’s a 12/13 year old Pit Bull Boxer. The other one is 3 year old rare colored Frenchie named Gretchen. We were nervous about Charlie at his old age accepting a new sister. Got lucky and they love one another. Gretchen thinks Charlie can do no wrong. He has been patient and taught her how to be a dog, as she was a puppy mill rescue who had no idea what being a dog was about. And since this is what jacket are you wearing TODAY I shall wear this to my dinner plans tonight. Was already wearing the same jeans and hat.

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.

Forgot to tag you @navetsea in this post as well. As I said a super thin layer of pecards and an afternoon in the sun. The pecards added a bit of color but I feel like also helps protect it and save it from drying out in the harsh summer sun. I would imagine in the case of your jacket 3-4 days of some very small amount protectant/balm And 4 hours in the sun will get it looking a beautiful caramel color.

Once I have worn this jacket enough to get a real feel for it I will do a proper review.

The longer, dare I say scraggly, hair perfectly completes the look. Well done.

I wish I could pull off hats like that. I’ve tried, can’t be done. I think my jackets are too MC to really pull it off. Newsboys or ball caps for me.

Haha I have a love/hate relationship with my hair as it is right now. I miss my pomp and I miss my hair being manageable and it makes my hat fit too tight, but sometimes I think it actually looks OK and a lot of people seem to like it for some reason haha.

I think you can wear some hats like this with more MC-esque jackets.
I have:

Maybe this doesn't work (and this is a moto/aviator jacket so it's not full moto), but I think it works.

Thanks @Monitor ! I love me some earth tones.

Yes, that totally works. Must be me. I’ll have to give it another try. Thanks.

I think everyone can look good in hats. They probably work better for you than you think.

A proper warm summer sun today, wind is a cool breeze on our hilly place
Vest day today just came back from nearby hardwarestore

20+ years old jeans, knee just busted few months ago, i hate to cut it into shorts since i never wear shorts, so i patch it from inside with poloshirt fabric with my knee bent to make enough knee room.

Sorry there's "nae dugs" ( Scottish for "no dogs" !) in the photograph.

Unless you count "old dogs" who are willing to learn new tricks haha..(The more senior members of my riding crew)

Rear left is me in my Schott 641HH Horsehide café racer. One of my few "bought new" 5 years or so ago.
Lined and warm ,too warm in the summer here. I have a "few" others for summer wear....

Sitting Left in front of me a "genuine" HD steerhide Brando style. From the year 2000 , still "Made in the USA" back then.
It is his "winter" jacket , heavy and well lined. Bought new when he bought a new 2000 Harley Deuce. Bloke is 80

Across from there front right is an Aussie made Brando copy , also heavy steerhide , also a "winter" jacket, 20+ years old.
Bloke is 90 and still rides a Harley Ultra trike. Jacket is a Walden Miller from South Australia.

The jacket-less dude is 74 , rides a lovely 1960 BSA. The rest of us are on Harleys.

Photo already used in another "over 50's" post , APOLOGIES for any offence incurred !
