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

I wore my Headwind Bronco at the airshow at Olympia, WA this weekend.

I bought the original Ralph Edwards G-1 size 48 from the G.W. Sales pages recently..
I think the fit is fair, but I do wish it had a bit more length..
Fit Opinions welcome ..

For me the length is perfect

No leather just my CARHARRT Detroit with some BRONSON denims and VANS in the attempt to go for a spin with my ride

That’s a stunning Perry Grant, was that on eBay a little while ago?

Thanks! No, a good friend who's a vintage dealer sold it to me.

Cool Detroit jacket! IMHO the old made in USA Detroit jackets are one of the best designs Carhartt made. Sweet paint job on your bike.

I second that. Detroits up to the 90s, the later ones are longer in the body and the current one with the drop tail isn't a detroit anymore by all means. I prefer the 80s versions, grabbed a few from etsy some time ago.

As always, great outfit Thomas, but riding your bike like that is going to cost you money here in Belgium.
Shoes need to cover your ancles. Silly rule as high sneakers are also shred to bits when you hit the asphalt.
So beware if you plan to cross the border.

Second that: those later versions are not Detroits anymore.

I'm currently looking for another one in size 44 just to have one in spare but the prices on EBAY are meanwhile kinda crazy ...

Thx for the compliments ... - paintjob has been done by a pro ...

Since i sold my 48 PAN i wanted something that doesn't look "showroom" so i thought such a worn and beaten paintjob would do it

Sick bike! When my pop came home from flying in the Korean War and French Indochina he went out and bought this used Harley and rode it like a maniac from what I hear.
He was only 23 in this photo and already seen so much.

It's no secret that I was disappointed with my A-2 5star: leather too rustic and too thick, even after my treatments to improve I already knew that I was only going to wear it on a motorcycle, as protective clothing .
And then a pilot friend calls me to show me his new plane, and complains about the cold while flying, but doesn't want to wear modern textiles like a ski suit for example.
As he is a true friend I immediately had the idea of giving him my 5star, which would be perfect for the job!
And that's a good recycling

Stampe?

Yes, ultra light but 1/1

Nice gift to a friend!
Over ten years ago I gave an Eastman Werber A-2 to a good friend who works as a bouncer and tattoo artist in NYC.
Needless to say he's given it a ton of love over the years and it's looking the part. For those that have bashed Eastman knits, here's an example to the contrary how they hold up.

That’s a killer Harley … looks like about a 47 or 48 Springer with side shift . Today that beauty would be worth about $45,000 or more in that condition . Your dad was definitely a bad ass cool dude. In another life I knew a few guys who flew for Air America. All of them were no bullshit guys who could drink or fight at the drop of a hat .
Great people and real patriots .

We’re getting Florida weather here today, so I’m relegated to basement jacket dress up again. I figure, there’s no limits to what I can wear down here. GW Rough Wear 17756:
