What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

The forum changes over time, as does the world. Therefore, many people have lost interest in this forum.

Equally, there have been a lot of new faces around recently.

It's just churn.

Can anyone recommend a tailor in the nyc area for tapering a leather jacket ?
Thanks In advance !

Alts in Williamsburg Brooklyn. I used them for my cycle king sleeves. Came out great and reasonably priced.

Yeah right.

When I joined 20 years ago, it was the same - in the Summer things would slow down then pick up in the Fall. The forum goes through cycles where activity picks up and new people join.

I remember a few old timers who posted here 20 years ago, hopefully they are still amongst us living, who don't seem to have gotten around to posting lately. Can't remember their names/IDs but some of them had massive leather jacket collections, like 50 or more jackets.

Summertime is when I mostly wear my lightweight and light-colored jackets.

My lightweight jackets are a recently dyed to a really dark brown tfh deerskin western shacket.

And a decent chinese lightweight hh buttoned halfbelt.

My light-colored jacket is a rc natural hh speedster that’s currently sun-tanning closer to that nice caramel tone, although it has been a slow process.

And I still wear my pherrow’s mid-weight hh hybrid caf-aviator on the bike too.

Cheapo Schott 584SM, not bad for what it is. Great range of motion.

I've noticed it's much slower than when I took my hiatus back in 2024. What happened to the Australians? Out of the loop here.

Great dye job on the deerskin shirt, looks much better in black/very dark brown?

The natural leather RC is not my cup of tea, but I would rock that Cafecto. Cool jacket!

Yeah that flat head definitely turned out a really dark brown, like a dark roasted coffee bean brown.

I was aiming for dark brown but wanted a really dark tone that would also go well with black, similar to a seal brown in that sense, so I used black dye considering the base color was tan, and I only let it sit in the dye enough to soak through entirely, I’m very pleased with the result.

And also tbh, every time I wear the natural hh, which is not often, I realize light colored jackets aren’t really my thing either hence why I dyed the western shacket, the only light colored jacket I actually wear is a light olive calfskin cafe racer, the rest are dark except for the speedster, I’m currently considering dying it dark green or letting it go.

But the one that gets more wear during summertime, although mostly not by me, is the chinese halfbelt since my gf borrows it all the time.

And the caf-aviator is in my top 5, which are all dark btw.

Id tell you the opposite, the Rainbow Country looks great, and is a nice alternative to black...

Maybe I missed something, but I don't know about it either

Nice assortment of outerwear. So, is that object on the glass table something you use to play fetch with the dogs or is it a sentimental piece just for display?

That log has been there for years, purely decorative.

Although recently it got demoted to the bottom shelf in favor of a cactus.
