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

[ZuZu]

Best I could find. If you watch the movie it's pretty obvious- goatskin and raised eps.

And of course the 18091 on Mcqueen. The costume department like goatskin!

And McQueen really seemed to like his Rough Wears. 18091 was the best (and only) possible compromise!

Cool!

It's still cold and windy here in eastern France. Pritzker & Sons' J7823, formerly Vic's. This is an awesome jacket IMO. Strong, yet supple hides and very comfortable to wear.

I notice that there is a funny rainbow-like effect on the patches of reflected light on the jacket that does not allow to show it in its best light, so to speak. I could not get rid of it while editing the image. Must be my phone's camera. Apologies for that.

That’s just a rainbow emanating off your jacket because it’s magical.

Must be the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, because Lorenzo hit the jackpot with that jacket.

Well it’s already 81 F / 27 C here, so flight jackets are right out. Time to explore other Branches’ kit:

Yeah -- got to 82 F here today... but snow is predicted Sunday night.

Nothing accumulating, just flurries, but still ridiculous weather.

I like the fit! Goes with my current theory that bigger jackets look better with skinny jeans. Lookin' good!

Well that would certainly explain the appeal of the Top Gun jacket.

Bay Area California. SF is about 65 all year- Oakland about 72 all year. 55 at night. A little colder in winter (although often cold through the year in SF) and 2 months of heat October and November. Literally months on end of 65-72 degree weather. There are some things to put up with however...

Thanks! I agree especially with cloth jackets, it gives you more of an 80s look. It wouldn't necessarily work with an A-2.

Also, they say, it's either baggy top skinny bottom, or trim top and baggy bottom in order to be aesthetically pleasing. In the 80s the norm was the former, in the 40s it was the latter.
