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

[Skip]

Thanks Burt. That’s the BK antique hide circa 2013. It’s a really comfortable fit but doesn’t look too blousy. The sweater is Fjallraven from their vintage classics range (I’m a bit of a trekker)

The elc is a slimmer fit and while I can still fit a sweater it’s a little tight for manouvaring while driving a twisty road

I’ve always thought the sleeve ending on BK’s could be more tapered but it looks alright on this Werber

Thomas, very cool!

 

[B-Man2]

You have a Pan Head and an EVO.......Nice!!

 

[Brettafett]

Ditto to the above. Super cool stuff!

Cool change came through over the last couple of days and I got to wear my AVI LTHR Bronco which has quickly become my favourite jacket.

Oh and Thomas and his bikes are just too cool, there was no point in posting a pic!

Right. Yeah sure Smitty. We believe you.

Just dug out a few jackets in remembrance of cooler temperatures to come... No jackets outside for the moment...
Eastman Star

BK Dubow 1755 with some strange stains appearing on the collar from inside the jacket

Lost Worlds Dubow - a jacket I have not worn on a long time but certainly will do this year. Its a great jacket, although on the heavy side weight wise but I just love collar stands.

 

[Brettafett]

Strange stains indeed? Coming from inside the jacket? I am very intrigued!

 

[Earloffunk]

Me too. it started a few months ago with a small stain but if you look closely its quite a big one by now

 

[Brettafett]

Did you spill something there? Is it coming from the inside? How can that be? That is 'funky'....

 

[Earloffunk]

No spilling and no drooling either. Don't know what it is. Have not yet tried to remove it.

Some kind of glue coming through?

 

[Earloffunk]

Maybe.

 

[Greg Gale]

The Star is the winner! Out of curiosity, what's your height/ weight, and what size is it? Thx!

 

[Earloffunk]

While looking at the pictures I am a little undecided between the LW (12 years and barely broken in ) and the Star (its quite old - 13 or 14 years maybe, very soft leather). The Star should be a 40 (will tell you later when I get back home - could have probably taken a 38). I am around 179/180 cm and 71 kg.

 

[Brettafett]

For that matter, also the Dubow 1755 please, what size is that? How would you compare the fit of the Star and the BK Dubow 1755.
You, me and Greg are very similar in size.

Edit: I had a LW Dubow size 40 ages ago. Very nice jacket. Fir well. Had a slight bit of room for a light sweater, or shirt... but man was it 'robust'....
The older Star's fit differently to those today. The current version is trimmer.

 

[Greg Gale]

Looks like an old 40, then! I've read somewhere that ELC Stars used to have longer sleeves proportionally, but I've never seen one. Thanks!
