Shucks, now I need to start modeling my life preserver in the “what jacket are you wearing today” thread....

 

[Lord Flashheart]

Well done to our two winners and a big thank you Ken for such a generous gesture. Great jackets and some great back stories. As Burt said it’s a thread which has more to give.

Holy Cow! or Horsehide! I can't believe it. Huge thanks to Ken for sponsoring this fun challenge. I saw some pretty nice jackets that I'll now have to be on the lookout for.

Ditto that..... got to get an Aero Marine under my Wife's uncanny radar for Jackets...... wish me luck!

 

[Silver Surfer]

aeromarine [cossack], good choice. suggestion? get it with slash pockets, as they are more functional. hell, if it was good enough for little al.........

 

[Shropshire-lad]

My thoughts exactly! Slash pockets and that colour in steer hide?

 

[Silver Surfer]

color and hide choice is purely subjective, so the ball is in your court with those options. for warm weather wear,, perhaps a lighter weight hide,, for cooler weather wear, a heavier hide may be in order. its important to get the size-fit right, and ya will not have to do it again, again, and again.

Cossacks, Barnstormers, Half Belts, Dust Bowls, Highwayman’s etc... would love to see more & be educated.View attachment 52903

That's a nice fountain pen he's using. Parker Duofold maybe?

 

[London Cabbie]

Hopefully more vintage to follow.

 

[Silver Surfer]

[Happy Hooligan]

And DHL delivers today! Thank you again Ken! I need to get new bottle of Laphroaig to christen it.

 

[Thomas Koehle]

For me nothing can beat a AERO jacket

AERO MAXWELL made to order on CXFQHH with modified cuffs

AERO HALFBELT SLIM in CXFQHH

Well these jackets ain't indeed not vintage but the cut 'n shape is timeless

 

[Thomas Koehle]

and this beauty is something i found almost 20 years ago

Manufacturer AMECO - never before heard about this company - i thought the jacket would look cool to wear on my chopper and bought it back then - never worn it ever since but still in my stash

If some forum member would fall in love with this jacket i would be open for trades and offers

 

[Silver Surfer]

ken's gift reminded me of back in the '70s when I was contracting nyc loft renos. and was sitting outside of this about to be renovated loft building in soho early one morning. I would get to the job site at about 6:30-7am and sit out front with my hit list to review, and a cuppa mud and a smoke. needless to say, I would be dressed in my work clothes [seriouly beat up work clothes]/ so, im sitting there coffee in hand and a suit and tie walks by, and drops a quarter in my coffee cup. reaction? motherfucker just dropped a quarter in my cup. wtf???? finished the mud, and fished the coin out to keep as a good luck coin. kharmar.

 

[Happy Hooligan]

I just picked this one up. Couldn't pass it by. Californian Horsehide "Fonzi" jacket in a 46. It had a bit of trouble from hanging around but I gave it a healthy dose of Pacards Antique dressing and it really brought it back to life. I'll get some fit pics later.
