What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Motocann]

Hercules HB. Trying to see if this is a sleeve length I can live with. Everything else is spot on.

OMG, I love the concho. I have a few of the eastman posts saved on IG whenever they have pics. I can't justify buying another b3 since I already own 2, but man oh man, if I ever saw one on classifieds, it would be hard to resist. You know who to call if that day ever comes LOL.

I will remember that! For the limited amount of days it gets really cold here, nothing beats shearling.

All right, a leather shirt. Something I can honestly say I don't think would have ever been on my to do list at any point in my life until I joined these forums LOL. But the look is actually something I'm totally into to right now.

Cant tell you how often I eyeballed that! @Merv has one too, and I am fighting hard to stay away from your club!

Are you wearing a „Large“ here?

Cold today! My 630 schott style highwayman released in the 90s brown color is perfect. Thick cowhide leather with a grain that reveals itself over time. And as I like it, I also have it in black. Perfect fit provided you wear one or two sizes below your usual size. What I like about this jacket is that if you remove the synthetic fur collar, it completely changes attitude.

Frost and snow ..... Aero Longshoreman with black goat and black shearling

Really happy with it overall .... the pocket flaps do tend to lift at the corners with arm movement

Beautiful Schott you have there. Of course I had to go down the rabbit hole of research on the 630.. You may already know this but these were built by Schott for an Italian distributor in 1994.

Walter Dyer. Honestly, I’d put this jacket in my *all time* top 3. It’s remarkably easy to wear, warm and it’s my constant grab and go jacket.
It’s not fancy or ornate. No exotic hide. Just a perfectly built jacket in a thick and durable cowhide that is exactly like what Bates was using in the 70’s.

I'm coming around more and more to the idea that a windflap looks really good on some jackets. This one is an example of that.

Hey Tom. It's an XL. the problem with them is there's a lot of variance on the dimensions from shirt to shirt. They tell you to take the same size you would take with a western UHF. I can wear a L (very fitted) or an XL (slightly relaxed) in those. So happens this leather shirt was XL but it was on the smaller side for sure. Spec is 22.8 ptp and mine is 22.25.

The measurements are ok in the end, certainly on the fitted side, but the main issue (hopefully short term) is the stiffness. It doesn't drape like a cotton or denim shirt. Even though it's skived veg tanned horsehide, it's still pretty stiff. Has more a CXL quality to it. So if you oversize too much, you might look like you're wearing a turtle shell lol.

But now that I got all the negative out of the way, it really is a grail piece. I added some pecards a few days ago and it transformed the feel of the shirt. I'm seeing the possibilities of how it can evolve. Of course it won't stretch, and I don't need it to, but I need it to ease in certain spots like a shirt would do, especially in the placket. It's only about 10 wears. You know the original color, so you can see how glorious it will become.

For you I'd recommend **L, but make sure you look at the dimensions. You might be able to get a big XL.
