Räven Jacket M
Durable outdoor jacket made of G-1000 with recycled polyester and organic cotton. Produced without PFAS.
I'm saving for a Schott cafe racer but I'm wondering what I could wear with this for now. Big change I know...new to fashion advice but I want to look good! Thursday captain boots will be primary shoes, I usually wear jeans or tech pants and then a lightweight polo
Thank you in advance
You absolutely can dress around utilitarian clothing and jackets like this, there’s plenty of stuff like that to be found in #inspiration and #waywt I would go check those out for pics you like. I think it would be worth overall thinking about how you want to dress, I wouldn’t try to build around this jacket if it’s not the style you actually like if something like the Schott is how you really want to dress.
Thanks for the tip
I will look into it, part of me thinks I will look like I'm trying too hard with the Schott? so its not 100%..but I own this, so it makes sense to build around it.
I mean. Do you like this jacket? Building an entire wardrobe around a single piece of outerwear just cuz u own it doesnt make a whole lot of sense.
yeah true
appreciate the thoughts
This doesn't seem like a jacket you have to build around, you can wear lots of clothes with this
OK cool, thank you
Does this jacket fit into an Americana style?
kinda?
thats sorta what I figured
i typically associate americana with either denim/leather enthusiasts or else vaguely "heritage" (ll bean, Eddie Bauer, etc) and both of those tend to lean towards jackets made of natural fibers
the schott would be a closer fit fwiw
ok

Tin Cloth Cruiser Jacket | Filson
Buy Filson's Tin Cloth Cruiser Jacket. A legacy of weather protection since 1914. Made with 14-oz. 100% cotton oil finish Tin Cloth.
hmm thats basically just a different color version of it
imo yes
that said what do you consider americana/what kinds of clothes do you like? might be a better gauge on if this jacket would work for you
utilarian clothes that are build to last, maybe started out as work wear, but when put together have a sort of hard to describe additive factor
pictures would help imo
it's often easier to make the link or define it visually
alternatively check #waywt or #inspiration or elsewhere and see if anyone's fits spark your interest
yeah for sure
Alright, thank you. really appreciate this discord! 🙂
