What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

When I checked the measurements before buying the jacket I thought it just might fit me about as well as anything else I have , and it actually fits better than I imagined.
Thats the best feeling. Measurements a great and all, but the tweaks that certain brands take can make it feel tailored just for you.

Nama Denim of Bangkok underneath Johnson Leathers of San Francisco. I love these colors.

I plan to wear this Saturday to a family function but probably won't get a chance for photos.

Thanks, gents! If I was forced to pick just one leather jacket it would probably be this one. I might have nicer or more unique options in the fold, but when it gets down to it my Vanson C hits all the right notes - fit, mobility, heft, grain, character. I can throw it on and forget about it, and that just might be the best compliment I can give it.

That’s a beauty!! Perfect Vanson fit as usual.

Wore my Vanson this.

Absolute perfection


Thank you for buying this and removing the temptation @pattyb95. Looks good on you, enjoy the evolution!
First day with the Mister Freedom Campus and really enjoying it. Got rained on but I think some people encourage that. Thanks @Igneous629. View attachment 744974

Congrats, you done good for your first crosszip!
This Lesco cross zip arrived today and I'm giving it a try.

I don't know whether or not the fit is good, but it seems pretty darn okay to me.
The jacket feels snug and hugging but not at all tight or restrictive, I was a bit worried about the heft on initial impressions but it seems to wear much lighter than it is.

This is my first experience with a cross zip and while I wasn't sure if the style really suits me or not, the jacket just feels right.
Is this why cross zips are so popular ?

Your trademark brown jacket looks good and the fit is fine. I think the other brown one is a Taylor's Leatherwear.

I realize I am replying to my own post- but why the ****? But with an additional tery is a no-go? lol.

I also wondered? So we can't say "You bet your ****" but we can say "You bet your ***"?

Edit: apparently we can't say either one of them...

Waiting to see how this latest round of censorship plays out. I guess Michael will have to eat his popcorn with no but...er...margarine.

Thanks.

If I happen to find another just like it in better condition that's priced cheaper then it would cost to have this one rehabbed I'd probably go for it, but otherwise this Lesco satisfies my cross zip desires and I don't intend to own more than one.

Back from office, still in some kind of business attire, wearing for the very first time my (new to me) Schott 118 bought for little more than 100 euros on the internet. Quite a bargain, isn’t it?
I like the fit. Hope it isn’t too snug.

Some years ago I did the exact same thing and bought a 118 on the internet here it is..... Seems like similar leather probably similar era 1980s probably. Of course I added Stars to mine lol yours looks like a perfect neat fit
