What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[ton312]

Fair point! I usually do a layer under or over my pants for weather like this. Today was about sprinting through errands as fast as possible. It’ll be in the 30s and 40s later this week.

Today was just absurd. The wind was insane. Doesn’t matter what you have on. You need to not be outside for more than 10 minutes. It was -35 with the wind! It’s a special kind of bone chill in Chicago. That wind is a razor blade.
By next Saturday it should be almost 50 degrees, which will feel 85 degrees warmer, pure insanity.

Ralph Pugh - 1941 cross-zip. Bit of a snug fit, but I think I can work with it. Really beautiful, thick leather with a lot of character in the form of grain and scars. Condition was pretty much immaculate, except for some holes in the handwarmer pockets that were easy enough to fix.

I may move this jacket and you to a Ralphs-Pugh thread. In my world of collection leather jackets you hit the jack pot. The jackets looks like it belongs to you. Here is a little trick I use on myslelf when a supper cool/once in a life time jacket come along...but a little tight. I ask myself; If I tried this on new in 1941, only one in the store, Would I have bought it? There were a lot fewer choices in 1941. I've seen vintage photos that look just like your fit. If you can zip it you can wear it. You are a lucky guy.

Congratulations, thanks for sharing. I will find another thread for the jacket rave.

One of my favorite jackets-c.1950 Ralphs-Pugh horsehide half-belt. I think they put some effort into their work, they had been making garments since the 1920s. This in near the end of their garment making.

Schott it is on Christmas Eve in Coastal Florida at a legitimate 34 degrees Fahrenheit. Thankful for leather weather.

Going over the river and through the woods today. It’s ****** cold and this about the warmest thing in my closet! I attached the missing button and added a snap “belt” to the lapel to close it tighter around the neck. Kind of a **** move on one of these but I prefer the 10 button to the 8 just for that reason. So I ordered a 10 button WWII to go with this one in a size up to allow for more layers.

I walked a block to my car, drove it to Target, and let it defrost in their heated garage. I was surprised my car was able to start as fast as it did.

My dog will be thrilled with this weekend’s weather!

This Cal today.

I was engaged in a little project with the boy and my wife smacked me in the back of the head. She did not like the design for the egg. I don’t understand…

Merry Christmas.

The latest thing that's happened to be because of being on TFL is that I now want all my jackets to have sherpa collars.

What a place this is!

(Also I love that fit @Merv. Looks v similar to your Deus. Do they feel very different?)

Definitely- huge difference between the two jackets. The Deus jacket is very soft leather; the McCoys is built like a tank. I sort of wear the Deus more as a casual jacket; the J24 more when I’m on the motor-pickle.

Interesting!

If anything, the Deus looks (ironically) nails.

Vanson Enfield. Still brand new. First time I wear it outside. Received this right before temperatures dropped, had no chance to wear it until now.

Thanks brother.

Yep, good call! But, also these digital apps make it easy.
