What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

Shouldn't your gaze be skyward, oh vigilant sentinel?

Yes but I forgot my shades

And my rifle

To reach said lantern you need to think bigger , better than a rifle .

I know, but that’s all I got.

Maybe I could catch one with a slow leak

Very mild afternoon, perfect for sun bathing in Buzz Dubow 27798... I love how Buzz patined the russet top coat with a semi-transparent dark brown, cant wait to see how it will age.

Sorry for the focus being on my face... I am bad ego photographer I guess...

The only problem with is it’s impossible to shape the collar. Too soft and won’t hold it.

Aim high.

Try lightly damping it, shape it, wear it until dry. Rinse and repeat etc.

That worked on my Italian horsehide jacket but not this one. I’ve tried several times and it just won’t hold it. Too soft and won’t stiffen up. The jacket that is

Dunno, I don't like my collars stiff. Reinforces Horween as an option.

Beautiful day for spotting over sized Chinese patio lanterns in my gw bronco horween View attachment 96931

What shape do you want on the collar? Looks great IMO. The Italian horsehide is not as realistic to WW2 stuff as Horween's as far as stiffness. I like collars that just sit- I dislike wings and artificial looking messed with collars. Great looking jacket.

If you like it soft, this would be a good pick.

Yeah it’s fine. Tried when I first got it but it seems to be shaping up on it’s own with wear.

But for those who like curls on their collars and pockets, this one doesn’t seem to do that. Reminds me of lamb skin.
