What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[torfjord]

It's worse when you buy a winter jacket in summer, you're wondering if you can get away with wearing your B-3 at night in August (you really can't).

Been there done that, this summer with my alpaca lined grizzly. 15 C outside, and I thought I could maybe get away with it. I nearly died.

Sure do. Going from truck to work (10 ft) is about the only cold exposure. I can wear about anything

While I’m currently a stay at home-dad and are out for long walks with the stroller every day. I really should wear something warmer.

I have the Simmons Bilt Nebraska ( a clone of this jacket methinks ?) in Black Goat. One of my ( many) favourites

Looks like it shares some design elements with the aero, but the cut looks different to my eyes.

Your BK looks beautiful. How is the Liberty compared to their Victory as I only know Victory?

In my experience the Liberty is much lighter leather that has a fast wearing finish. No idea if that is true today.

Looks like a Lewis Leathers Dominator 551 inspired Aero who themselves "inspired" SB:

Love that Victory hide. Wish it wasn't so damn expensive!

Anybody know the source of the Victory horsehide?

Hello folks, I have not posted in a while as I have been having trouble with tapakalk. Has anyone else had any issues?



Recently traded my early ELC B3 for newer B6.

I miss the collars but i think that I will be able to get more use out of it.
ELC website stated I needed a 42 which this is, however the shoulders seem large.

Not sure. I know it's Italian. Maybe the Victoria Tannery in Santa Croce, Italy?

I hope someone here knows it because it is one of my favorite leathers - I personally prefer it over Shinki. It feels like a very expensive leather sofa, not a heavy weight and the smell is just intoxicating.

Will be wearing this stiff board around the house for a while. Naked and famous elephant 8 denim jacket through tate + yoko. Very fast shipping and site measurements were dead on. Has nice cotton lined inner pockets and handwarmer pockets. Pretty impressed with this

Looks great. Did you need to order a “long” model?

I swapped it with a chap who was advertising it on the Eastman Facebook page. I think it's a regular but he did not know as he bought from another chap a while ago. It was to big for him so it has not had much wear.
There is a nice 40 long on Ebay currently, but it has insignia.

Beautiful jacket Whitters!
After you pointed it out I did notice that the shoulder seem a bit wide but I wouldn’t have thought so if you hadn’t said anything. It looks great to me.

Looks like a good fit to me. I sometimes like a bit larger shoulder to get the longer sleeve length that I like. That seems a lot trimmer than a B3.
They closed Tapatalk due to technical issues. It makes it harder to post photos for me, when using my iPhone, as I can’t figure how not to post them sideways.

Current stock Vanson Colorado 40. Not broken in yet so still a bit snug. Fairly high/tight armholes on this pattern
