\"\"Finally… the intense summer heat has broken. Time to hang up the suits<\/a> and get my gear on!<\/p>\n

I had a gift certificate from Schott Bros leather that was going to expire. During the hottest week of July, I ordered a new Schott Leather Trucker Jacket<\/a>. <\/p>\n

This jacket is thick, durable, and exceptionally well-made. Their marketing statement says it is lightweight enough to wear all year. No… not by a long-shot. This jacket is heavy… almost as heavy as my Schott Perfecto motorcycle jacket<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But man, it fits …
\n
\n\"\"… great. It is comfortable, and with its medium-weight thickness, it is somewhat soft. It will only get better with wear. <\/p>\n

This well-made garment has a 26-inch back length and is made of thick naked cowhide. It has a metal shank button front closure, two button upper flap pockets, two lower pockets, adjustable side tabs, metal shank sleeve cuffs, and poly satin lining. It is made in the U.S.A. <\/p>\n

Being an old-school Leatherman, I style this jacket with full leather. Long-sleeve leather shirt, leather jeans, boots, Muir Cap, and gloves. The works.<\/p>\n

When the weather is cooperatively cool, I enjoy returning to my first passion, wearing full gear as I go about my daily business. <\/p>\n

Sure, a few people may react with a second glance or even a frown. Who cares? I have long been over having any concerns about “what other people think.” I am my own man and wear what I like.<\/p>\n

These days, my choices of leather that I choose to wear are self-limited to what fits me well and is comfortable. Since I do not ride a motorcycle any more, my “excuse” for wearing full leather is: I am a Leatherman and enjoy wearing BLUF gear<\/a>. Simple as that.<\/p>\n

Life is short: leather up and enjoy life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
