What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Looks great. I think that pattern really compliments your frame.

Too hot for leather so denim gets the call again. Been wearing this Lee repro pretty much wherever I go:

Schott Perfecto 613, this time with the stars and all.

This is how cool I hope I look in my jackets!!

Yep, Monitor looks very cool in his jackets and many can't match this. It's funny how even when a jacket fits well, it's another thing entirely to look cool in it.

If the storms here keep hitting, I'm going for a walk in my Cafe Racer Aero. I like the battered seal hide more and more and I'm going to take it out for a breather even if it's just to get some groceries.

My black cow today

 

[Monitor]

Japan made me do it. As so many things before. So now I need the regular 5 pocket ones, too.

Now would your mother let you out the house in that combo ?

If so then you're good to go...

Lol @JMax , you tellin' me these are seriously more... Something than that cow thing? I think that with some of the jackets we wear, most of us are way over whatever line there is or ever was, just no longer realizing it due to the gradual transition from a nice cafe racer to Leather bellhop uniform, mega-Flamboyant Mullholland or even the Grizzly.

That said, these are like 110% serious motorcycle trousers and actually considering Aero's stuff is, while sturdy and of high quality, not exactly pro riding equipment, these are insanely well executed for a bike. I've in fact never seen a better MC pants so in all seriousness, give 'em a thought! For a long trip, I can't imagine I'd want to wear anything else.

@Downunder G Man , both my mum and dad were bikers, my dad even professionally raced so I imagine she'd be like "What's the big deal?".

wonder how they will look once broken in with creases, and fading a little

Best ever. They're Horween, brown tea core and light coat. I can already see brown at the seams. That's why I got 'em. That, and the price was good. Kanye West can't be all wrong, too!

That meme applies to my three newest jackets, no doubt. The hair-on-cow had me questioning my taste for a sec. Then I said eff it, let's see. If someone points and jeers I can always break their finger. The bellhop, less so, but it certainly isn't for everyone. I have seen some double-takes. The new Jelado's color isn't run-of-the mill black. Black leather is still my favorite though.

Honestly, the leather pants do look much better on than I thought they would. They look great. If I ever move north again, I will take a more serious look at them as riding gear.

 

[HoosierDaddy]

For MC gear I'd sure rather have leather chaps to wear over my jeans if need be rather that sweaty leather jeans that most don't dare wash because of possible uneven shrinkage. I've owned and ridden motorcycles for three decades now.

Depends on the type of the riding. I agree if I'm on the flattop on my Harley. If I'm on the track or off-road in the CO or VA mountains, I would prefer pants, not chaps.

I am curious to see pics as they age!

Can’t talk about comfort or practicality but if you swap the t-shirt with a plain white one (and untuck it!) I think you’d look pretty cool. Strong 80s/early 90s vibes!

I've discovered I really dig the 90's vibes. Like 30% of it but what I like, I like more than any other era so that's a compliment to me & what I'm going for. Roadside Prophets is pretty much how I wanna roll.

Instead of bellhop it has always struck me as something between retro-futurist flight jacket (a la The Rocketeer but more streamlined) or how a someone from the 1800s might imagine leather riding gear after getting a glimpse of a motorcycle through divine revelation
