What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[tmitchell59]

Not for sale means it's a pre production sample if I'm not mistaken. Sometimes those are of low quality, with the sole purpose to convey the look and test the waters. Sometimes they're of better quality than the production run. Yes I like do like jackets like these. You don't?

That green one is particularly nice. I very much like the wool jackets. Vintage short wool jackets so popular in the 20s

30/40s are near extinct, at least in my size. Most of the remakes are Japanese and too small. I was very fortunate to get this Freewheeler on this forum several years ago. One of the finest jackets I own.

I really think this is 4-oz. Weighs 5 lbs, which for such a short and uncomplicated jacket is quite a bit. Pretty stout, lol.

My cardigan is more...

Just kidding, cool jacket!!

Yeah, I know your cardigan. This is the one they only ship to EU...I wanted it, too! If I could squeeze it under this jacket I would be wearing 12 lbs...

It's been raining off and on all day with the air temperature colder than the water temperature. Swam my 500 meter back stroke 2 times, then was ready for a jacket.
GW Arcadia Two-Tone French Horsehide.

The green jacket is also Japanese made. Brand is called Tenderloin. Great build quality. Too bad they don't sell stuff like this in Europe. Simple but elegant.

Then i said to myself « it’s rather cold for a work jacket and vintage corduroy vest » so i ended up stayed at home

Levi’s jacket and Le Chamonix vest (old french brand i couldn’t find anything about on google) Keith 50s hat.

I saw the Tenderloin label. It is a beauty. One regret I have is not buying a Tenderloin Suede several years ago. I search yahoo Japan, but they don't come up in my size. They make some very nice leathers also. Thanks

I’ve been feeling a little flat, lately ... View attachment 281735

This just takes the cake here really! Really true when given your location "the flat field" Describes quite accurately where I grew up as well.

One of the finest jackets in your world class stable? I’m curious- what makes it so?

Possibly the last bike ride of the season in NJ before it gets too chilly. Custom Vanson Force with a random fur collar I have from an old Simmons bilt jacket no longer in my stable.

finally managed to talk junior into wearing his Aero tour jacket......had it stowed away for a few years now and he's not far off out growing it, grrr.

( side note, from far off Scotland I was fairly obsessed with the war in Vietnam from quite a young age and was fortunate to spend some time there in the early 90's..)

Some of my good Aussie mates are "Vietnam Vets" still riding in their mid 70's in our (sometimes not so little) Harley riding group. They have "mixed memories" of Vietnam no wonder !

Warm enough today for my Bill Kelso Relic Hunter

Mister Freedom Campus on a cool(ish) day in San Diego.

Vanson Sturgis in Steerhide for today's Harley ride. 14C start and 27C on the way home.
Good day for this vented jacket , vents closed on the freeway trip out , and open on the run home.
I should probably wear this more often , and I tend not to wear it off the bike.
My perforated Vanson would have been "too cool" for the start of the run , albeit fine on the return. 120k's today.
Photo snapped by a mate on my Samsung "$200 ****phone" , and he cut the subject short...

Today just an ugly drysuit. But the shearling was waiting in the car.
