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

[Thomas Koehle]

Still cool looking jacket Ties! How does your wife deal with the fact you also sleep in the jacket?

Thomas,

a little leather and lace can work wonders for the marriage....at least that is what I have been told by friends with motor bikes! I wonder if there is a reason why you own so many...?!

Best regards,

Ties

Thomas,

at the moment I think I would just try hard wear.

...I have worn the jacket for several weekends, cleaning up my mother-in-law`s basement and garage, before she moved to here new appartment...lots of carrying stuff around, lots of dust, lots of rain on the trips to the garbage disposal and recycling facility...Let us see how the leather developes.

My Star G1 7823C I bought later in my career. Abbe is wearing her original issue fur coat which is a great fit. View attachment 15448

That looks like a great fit but if I were her I’d go 1/2” shorter at the paws.

This evening I have mostly been mixing it with some of my girls as they saunter back to the yard for the night. Mum on the right is rarely impressed when I greet her while wearing one of her long departed ancestors - in this case in the form of a well used GW.

And after all that sauntering I regained my composure by artistically leaning against one of our old tractors while undertaking some serious, yet slightly wistful, gazing into the distance all the time savouring the occasional waft of the Trumper's coral skin food that I use as an alternative to beard oil.

I think the tones in the jacket compliment the rust and orange on the tractor.

As an aside. Might I take this opportunity to recommend Old Ma Pearl's Patented leather jacket preservative and conditioner! Just one thin coat from the handy automatic, self propelled and totally organic dispenser, as seen here ,is all it takes to keep those old leather garments as soft and as supple as ever you could wish for.

Buy one today, you know it makes!

Trumper's coral and horse shyte, a combination the ladeez find irresistible

I see we share a similar sense of humour

But what kind of bottled water?

Ice Mountain bottled water. It is spring water that only attractive hillbilly women skinny dip in.
