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

[CK90]

Little break from a nice bike ride, cool enough for a Platon Dubow 27798, Viberg 310 boots....

Danny, dude... you're killing me. As if the Triumph wasn't enough, add the Dubow, then add the Viberg's on top of that... spectacular stuff my man. You're inspiring a disabled man here to keep on fighting, that one day he might sit atop his Speedmaster in a photograph just like this. Hero.

CK90, wow, thank you for the kind words. I hope you recover and go for a ride in one of your GW's to a spot where you can take a nice long swim in open waters!

Kind regards my friend.

A cool, rainy morning today, so out comes the GW Monarch:

I'll say it again: That jacket is the bomb!

 

[CK90]

Have to agree Jan, some beautiful jackets pass through this forum... but this one is special. Dare I say it, it even gives the 27752 a run for it's money and you know how much I love Rough Wear!

I think it’s that faded look that really sets it apart from the 27752…..
( Jan will get the joke but you might not )

Jan, you've got the jackets, the pants the shoes, the whole deal. Why not go with a nice pair of 1930s/40s rimless eyeglasses? IMHO, they'd look great with those duds. You can find them all over eBay for relatively cheap $ too. Obviously, you'd replace the lenses.

Believe it or not B-Man, I think I might... Florida sunshine by any chance?

Not a jacket but a heavy shirt, my favourite actually.

Might be worth exploring - I like the idea, but my glasses need pretty long temples, so I'm not sure how likely I'd be to find vintage ones that would fit.

I'll bet your head wasn't quite as large before the Horween Monarch and RW...just saying.

On a more serious note, I ran across the Japanese brand in the link below at my eye doctor last week. They have some interesting vintage themed titanium frames that seemed to be very high quality.

I have the very same issue. In fact, with modern frames I always have to bend the temples almost straight. This is actually one of the great things about vintage frames. If you haven’t looked into vintage frames on eBay, you’ll be amazed at the sheer number offered for sale. You’ll find the correct size, especially with the common cable-temples of the time which can be bent extra-long. One thing to note is that while there are gougers on eBay (who want to sell you a pair for almost $200) you’ll easily find a pair for $20-$80, most being south of 50 bucks.
My very favorite are the 1930’s style rimless with the wire-thin temples and pad-less nose bridge—the most comfortable I’ve ever worn. They’re my dailies and I regularly get compliments and questions on them. They look old, but not at all weird or out of place, and with rimless you can choose any shape lenses you prefer. I paid $28 shipped.

Here’s a perfect example like mine on eBay:

I'll be on the lookout for them!
