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

Very very nice Brett, what’s the story around how you came by that one?!

@Flightengineer that Dubow is beginning to look like an original. Stunning!

Thanks, Greg. It's like Tim @Smithy always said - I just wear it, not worrying about scratches, scuffs, etc. Both my A2s, this one and the one I bought from you, are starting to look like the originals cause I don't treat them like a crystal vase


Unfortunately, the photos do not convey the real wear, I do not know - the eye sees differently than the lens of a photo or phone. In real life they are much more beautiful, the photo mixes the details and adds unnecessary gloss. In general, taking photos of leather jackets to get a real picture is quite a difficult task

That feels good, first wear of the season.

Bronco. Original. Horsehide.
Very comfortable. And the lengths, near perfect.
No size tag, but recon its a comfortable 42...

Thats a beauty, the tales it could tell...

Decided to wear one of my favorites I got from Burt, the first RW 1401P that JC made in 2009.

Last day of A2 weather here. Beloved 27798 from Platon and park coffee break

Would you mind to post some detailed pictures of your jacket in some good lighting?
You seem to wear the Platon A2 for a long time now and I'm curious how the leather developed over the years.
Do you have that orange high point wear I've seen somewhere else?
Thank you

Yes, my first Platon with "orange", but in this photo it's a different jacket, this is the second one. It has different leather and wear occurs with a different shade.
Here's a photo from a year ago in the sunlight.

THE VLJ HALL OF FAME CONTEST … PART DEUX !

So .. For the new guys who missed the last VLJ Hall of Fame Contest back in February 2023 . You can read about it here. https://www.vintageleatherjackets.org/threads/the-vlj-%E2%80%9Cjacket-hall-of-fame%E2%80%9D.29583/...

But even this photo doesn't show all the nuances, as I already said - it's hard to photograph leather jackets
