What about Jeans Jackets ....

Just noticed that those don't have pockets along the waist band, which I can't live without.

 

Current jacket I have (1969 Gap raw), on the inside the pockets form another pocket. Kind of hard to explain, kind of like inside a suit, best way I can explain it. Would love to have another jacket with that as I haul everything in those inside pockets, has great depth.

Mega: I was looking at this one

Looking for something a little bit cheaper, but in the fall time that price point might change. But I do like the Samurai ones from 2nd. But do want to see what Railcar is going to come out with in the fall.

I have that same jacket, it runs really short in the torso, very vintage boxish fit I sized one down. That may not be an option for you if you're on the bigger side, I'm short and muscular so I fill out the jacket and the length isn't a problem. Hope that helps

Hmmm, need something with a little bit of length. I'm around 6'. I also have quite small arms, so ned something with a bit smaller arms.  But the no pockets deal really kills it for me.

 

But thanks, does help.

Well it does have double chest pockets. Lack of hand pockets is a much welcomed detail in my opinion, kinda fits into the SC aesthetic since they try to stay pretty true to vintage. Front pockets on a type II or a type I would just look silly in my opinion. But yeah I would look at some of the Typ III offerings, since you're more likely to find something close using that model as a base.

I'm guilty too Jared, you will not be disappointed with the ByBeatle jeans, I saw Beatles pair at her house a few weeks ago and they look great, both those and the IH's are a solid choice man.

Haha. No worries guys. I am psyched to see the ByBeatle in person. She says it's all about the fabric and for me, that's the most important detail in any jean.

So im looking for a denim jacket right now.

I've been looking at the Momotaro for a while now.

But also the Indigofera jacket that I really like, but it's a little too short for my taste.

Do you have any other suggestions? I'm looking for something a little longer and tighter type of jacket.

after 3-4 months of commuting 2 hours a day in this traffic on my motorbike:

gonna wash my duck jacket soon. better get some pre-wash pics up (it came rinsed from the store):

this "pike jacket" is a "proto"-type and as far as i know never went into full production:

i like the way the inside top of the two front pockets curve in harmony with the outside top:

^ a bit of sun fade already on the way.
 
 
love the cinchback shape and the four-piece curved waistband (they reflect the aforementioned curves on the pockets). you can see where the waistband connects in the middle:

the vertical lines on the back are actually pleats:

as if it wasn't too obvious already, the jacket is from rising sun:

^ the red bits are the selvedge line of the fabric (cone, cmiiw).
 
 
i also love the old "pasadena" buttons from when the shop was still located there. their newer buttons now say "l.a., calif.":

OK, after the Rising Sun Ranch Hand jacket that appeared in the Warehouse thread and now this, I am offically into to Rising Sun jackets. :D

 

Really nice 40's vibe to most of their stuff but the jackets are just great.
