What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[navetsea]

There is just absolutely no way on earth that's a ladies jacket!

I think just the yoke being there, and lack of chest pockets that usually has leather "frame" underneath that will push that type of diagonal creases lower, on this jacket it is happening higher.

I dunno, but once it's tailored it will be incredible- slimmer upper sleeves, less chest room, and that J-100 taper....
Perfect jacket when done...but...how much $$$ ?!?

Wait a lady in leather jacket who wants to cover their chest shape with fringe.... doesnt compute

Yeah, the visual there is of long eyelashes over....well you got it.

It fits you really great to begin with. That's why I insisted you liberate it from the horrid fringe. I mean, it fits you like Super's J-100, maybe even slightly trimmer. I don't think the J-100 is really all that trim, being an OTR style. Not if you don't wear one 2 sizes too small but usually, all the J-100's I've seen appear somewhat roomy, even for a CR. Maybe I'm wrong, though and someone who's handled one can correct me. The Beck 666 is trim! Though it has baggy sleeves but that's a fitted jacket alright.

There's usually always some excess space in the chest area of vtg jackets. You know that, though. That Sears I'm selling, it's a size 38 and still has 23" chest.

Aaah, doesn't matter. What matters is that the jacket looks awesome on you! If I had millions of $$$, you know what I'd do? I'd have JL install chest pockets into the seams 'cause I can't live without those. But other than that, you're set.

Been wearing black leather jackets at work lately (giving my G-1 a break for a bit). Today was my Gibson & Barnes former American Airlines pilot jacket converted into Merchant Marine Captain jacket (Gov’t declared the US Merchant Marine “essential workers” during this pandemic so I’ve been working every day). Navy hospital ship USNS COMFORT sailed into NY Harbor recently (quite a sight!).

Pockets could be a good addition here if we can get matching hardware.

New to me Indian Ranger

This wrangler is great, is it a 13 or a 936?.

 

[Corky Corcovado]

Couple more of the Iron Heart. Really nice piece, I've already bookmarked a few different jeans on their site for future acquisition...

This cold morning is perfect for my Avirex B-3.

Tellason Coverall Jacket

I was just looking at these. Interesting pocket configuration. You like the denim and cut?

 

[Tom71]

serious jealousy towards your guys, I feel Ryder is better pattern than boxy Suburban.

I was struggeling between the Ryder and the Suburban, but @JohnDMcCarters pictures fixed my decision-making. I believe, both are great jackets that scratch the same itch, and your LW´s where among those which made me reach out to Stuart back in December.

I do. I have two of these and this heavyweight indigo denim one is great for when it's cold out. My other one is an unlined one made from red cone mills denim. The unlined one is better for all day use while the heavier, lined one is more of an outdoor during cooler weather jacket.

Out by the bay this morning in my LW Ryder.

Great Ryder! And great Ryde! Makes me painfully regret selling my sportscar in favor of a plain-vanilla Company-car.

Iron Heart from @ton312 thanks again!

Wow! Hard to believe that ANYBODY can look better in a jacket than Ton, but you nailed it!

I'm knocking about the house in my Aero Maxwell in tumbled cordovan. And drinking a glass of red wine in sympathy with its colour. I'm rotating jackets between the Maxwell and a battered seal Cafe Racer - the CR is showing wear with anything I do in it (wine aside) and I really like the hide and the way it wears in - battered seal achieves much greater visible wear than battered tan (although I also liked that one, too, and reckon it'd make for an awesome LHB.
