What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Well I'm not looking to spend big bux on an accurate ww2 repro or anything, so I'm not sure what's out there that's considered better and is as affordable.
Naturally, and you shouldn't spend (too) much money on this style as it rarely looks good on anyone. Also, cheaper ones, like Cooper, tend to fit better than most expensive repros.

This one's just large on you, that's all.

Don't have a photo but for the second day in a row I'm wearing an RSD Enzo. A very comfortable and easy to wear jacket that smells like heaven and has a different feel to the leather's finish. I have no other jacket like it and both appearance and feel of the leather is 'interesting'.

It doesn't hurt that it fits more snugly than I prefer but still looks great and feels great.

Black, cafe', mandarin, padded, properly tapered for me and no longer commercially available..

If I went a size down I think the sleeves would probably be too short and the bottom knit too tight.

I have been riding today in my Oxford Heist jacket. I mentioned it here before but it's quite a nice bit of kit for riding. AAA rated, but looks like a nothingy zip up jacket in tan canvas twill.

All of which is just an excuse to post this picture. I went to a local custom shop today to have a chat with the owner about some things.

Here is a picture of my Oxford jacket draped over the seat of my little green Triumph in the background. In front is a rather smart purple Harley they've worked on in the shop.

Edit to add. If you look closely you can also see reflected in the HD's tank that I was out riding today in white jeans.

Who do I think I am? Steve McQueen?

Aero CR in battered seal. I wanted to get one in battered tan (size 44, this one's a 42), but it's been discontinued. I took some photos of the CR to show how fantastically walloped it's been - worn in crazy weathers, Shanghai (acid) rained on, typhooned, monsooned, through a cold wash cycle to get rid of site dust and generally kicked about.

I use my model B as my air travel jacket because of its comfort and versatility with the zip in fleece liner. It's served me quite well. Today, I am wearing it while traveling to visit family.

Received this recently from sweet sweet guy @TartuWolf who really went above and beyond.

I’m not really sure about the fit just yet. I like the taper but the sleeves are a little short and I have too much room in the upper arms (got to work on those biceps curls !).

Would like to hear what you guys think.
