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

[Thomas Koehle]

Thanks for your interest Kermit, Her's a photo of the bikes when they went into daughter's garage about 10 years back, owned the 1944 H-D over 40 years and the '47 Chief about 35. They were featured in a British magazine back in the '90s

WOW! That’s some stunning “steel” you got. Worth a fortune meanwhile.

Congratulations for such a “motor pool”!

Great photo and that's one proud Papa!

Only wore it for a few seconds, but here's a sneak peek at a 1965 contract Ralph Edwards G1 that I purchased today from a local antique shop. Moths have done some damage to the knits, but it's otherwise in nice condition. I'll likely be rehoming the jacket though since it's a size 46.

Those knits are salvageable. Nice jacket !

Thanks Burt. Solid enough for wearing, just a bit unsightly. I'll let the next owner decide whether or not they want to replace them.

This was the first Good Wear I bought. The leather is finally getting supple after ten plus years. And I have worn it a lot.
It is perfect for a day like today when it starts out in the 40s and end up in the 70s.
(Plus LVC 1955)

ohh man … all of you guys look great in your jackets .
I’m so over summer down here in North Florida and wishing it would cool off enough for an A2 or anything . But …. It’s 81F today …. Again …..

I feel your pain! Haven't been here for a while cuz too damn hot in So.Cal. Finally started the day at 61 or so. We're close to the Pacific, so when it gets cool, it's also rather damp. Wore my denim jumper today, with khaki trousers and chambray shirt. I felt very nautical; but nice.
Glad to be back among the bros, and the smell of fine Corinthian Leather.
BTW, yesterday/Wednesday, was St. Crispin's Day. Who watched Branagh do The Speech? Tears stream down my face every time I watch that performance. Then I toggle over to his performance as Col. Tim Collins in Iraq. I wish I had half his hair. Hell, I'll take a 1/4.
God's Will I pray thee. Not onnnne mannn more.
Aloha.

Cool weather returns to the south of France. Time to give the M-422A a breath of fresh air.

... but the B-10 is still too warm.

I would have knits at home for that jacket
just out of interest, what would you ask for for that G-1?

... and on a sidenote, Irvin day for me today...

I've promised Thomas that I'd get him an asking price and shipping estimate to Germany. If he passes on the jacket, I'd be happy to give you second dibs and send you a pm with an asking price.
