From 85 degree to 45! Got the Fine Creek out to meet with a jacket from Mission St in San Francisco. Fine Creek 2020 Mission Leather 1937. One of the oldest Half-belts I've owned, also one of the largest in a size 46

Terry- look at your text messages on your phone, I sent you some pics of a jacket I believe to be a brown sportclad motorcycle jacket identical to your black sportclad with the red wool lining.

When you have some time, more pictures of this jacket would be appreciated.

I have pictures with King Arnold on the set of T2. And just outside the elevator of his and my hotel. They were filming the scene when he “kills” himself in the factory. So cool. I was 15 or so. Arnold was amazing.

Fall-like weather has miraculously (freakishly?) returned to NYC, and so I broke out the Aero Vicenza Board Racer for its first public outing.

I'm still liking the fit in general, and the sleeves are developing nicely from a few days of indoor break-in.

The shoulder creases are... what they are, I guess. Reading a few other Aero threads, it seems to be a common occurrence. Hopefully it tampers down with break-in, or at least blends in better at the leather develops.

hmm, thanks hh21! if it was a theory that Branded made them, I may be able to just find out by asking Branded. I was just talking to Peter yesterday...But, the person at the shop once said some lady in Ohio made these jackets...

Gwen of CAL told me that they definitely used to make them for Leatherman at some point but there used to be a lot of leather makers, exclusive to the BLUF scene we don't even know about, that used to make the exact same jacket so it's really hard to tell for sure.

I did some digging and found at least three leather shops in Germany that produce CAL based leather jackets that you won't see appearing in Google search. And they cost a lot, around 2000 Euros a jacket.

Anyway, I like that *** leather scene version the most. Short length is what makes it so cool and more wearable than the regular one. Never liked that bigass, curved kidney panel, myself.

very cool! Yea, I just think of Freddie Mercury when looking at a Cal-style jacket....

Found an affordable jacket in the same style as the Loro Piana Traveler Windmate Jacket from The Blacklist. Has a James Spader vibe when paired with a panama. Today's weather is warm, but brisk. Hope my hat doesn't blow off my head.
