I find myself wearing my boots everyday, and plan to wear my jacket everyday (after arrival) I also am now carrying my mk around a opposed to my old bag. Just wondering about the rest of you. Illinois

I put my fedora and bag to use everyday. I wear my fedora everywhere I go except school, and use my bag at school to carry by books/binders/notebooks that aren't in my hall locker.

I wear my (disney) leather jacket to alot of places, but only when it's the appropriate temperature.

I wear my Wested almost every day - except if it's too hot. My MK VII I carry with me in my freetime since it doesn't match well with the business look...

Hard to answer.

Jacket gets the most play, hands down. But it's warm here, so it's only a given for some 6 months, and that's pushing it. So you know I like it when I wore it for 9 months last season.

The hat will get worn when I have an excuse - that's the entire rainy winter (So Cal), plus a few months 'just in case', and during the summer for long outings. So when I can, but it isn't all the time.

The MKVII is the only thing that gets used year round, but it's not every day. A lot on vacations, or anywhere we are probably taking the camera, and sometimes to work, but then it just hangs on my coatrack all day, I don't wear it IN the office.

So the bag and the jacket are a tie day-wise, but the jacket gets the SOLID use. MKVII is probably even MORE useful (here in So Cal, again).

Boots? Gosh, I wear boots everyday, but that just doesn't count.

I could have voted for the web belt, but I decided to go with the jacket.

I wear my boots every day so by defalt they are the most used gear. I wear my MKVII during the weekends or when out for the evening. My lid gets put on the rack when the temp climbs but is in use most every day. When my Wested arrives that will be used as often as weather permitts (80 degrees and up is a little too hot)

Cheers,
Jeff

I wear a fedora daily, whether it is a vintage Stetson Whippet or Akubra Federation. I also use my web-belt daily. I wear my jacket weather-permitting.

My bag was my bookbag through my last two years of college. Although I never wore the hat, I was told that I looked like Indiana Jones a lot (leather jacket, khakis, some type of safariish shirt or another).

I'm wearing my MKVII right now at work! I'm also wearing my boots and web belt.

I get the feeling our answers are basically the same. We use whatever we can when appropriate. If I had Indy socks they'd be high on the list, too...

ABF: "Always Bring Fedora..."

I was gone for three days, went to the Promise Keepers convention in Long Island and used the Bag the whole time I was there.

Folks who knew me could spot me hundreds of feet away cause of the Adventurebilt...

J_Weaver · Post by **J_Weaver** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 6:35 pm

I wear my Aldens nearly every day. When cool weather hit, I'll be wearing my Wested all of the time too.

Post by **Jens** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 6:36 am

My Wested comes with me always (if the sun is not burning too hot), my MK VII accompanies me if I leave the house, so does my Fedora most of the time.

Why own gear, if not to use it?

Indiana Jimmy · Post by **Indiana Jimmy** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 1:44 pm

I wear my wested jacket & WPG bag every day on the bike, perfect for keeping the wind out and getting my books to work...

Erri · Post by **Erri** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 3:58 pm

I voted the MKVII. the hat was too typical answer, plus i really adore those bags!!!

Floribama Steve · Post by **Floribama Steve** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 7:01 pm

I wear my MK VII more than anything, although once I get a decent fedora I plan on wearing it all the time.

Indiana Jimmy, I think that bike would be my favorite piece of gear! Is that a Bullet? Veeerrry nice!

It's the Jacket for me. Nice Bike and pic Jimmy, you didn't go with the LC one then.

Snakewhip_Sable · Post by **Snakewhip_Sable** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 11:17 pm

I wear my Adventurebilt fedora, MKVII bag, and close enough jacket with whatever else I'm wearing on a daily basis. It's all very utilitarian and twice as stylin'.

DanielJones · Post by **DanielJones** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 11:40 pm

I find I don't leave the house without my fedora on. Just don't feel complete without it. Durring the cooler months the jacket is never far away.

Cheers!

Yep, a 1994 500cc Indian Enfield Bullet - nice bike, my daily driver to work...

Excellent little machine.

Thanks.

Hat most of the time. Jacket when it starts getting cold.

Ark Hunter · Post by **Ark Hunter** » Thu Sep 22, 2005 1:25 pm

That's awsome Jimmy!

I ware my Jacket when it's cool/cold, boots most of the time, some sort of Khaki/taupe pants most of the time, one of the belts if I need one, and the whip all the time....ok, maybe not the whip. I wore my hat on vacation, but not really any where else. I've also got some Indy T-shirts I ware some times. (Magnoli's Barnett College one, and two of my own making at cafepress) I might have warn the MKVII if I was still in school and had stuff to carry, but I don't really carry anything besides what's in my pockets.

The real Henry · Post by **The real Henry** » Thu Sep 22, 2005 1:52 pm

I voted for the fedora, cause I wear it everyday when I go out with my dog!

BTW- Indiana Jimmy that's a beautyful Royal Enfield!

Post by **Ken** » Thu Sep 22, 2005 2:02 pm

Jacket and Aldens are pretty much everyday where. The fedora is what I grab anytime I am going travelling. I imagine if I lived in a sunnier climate though I would feel inclined to wear the fedora every day.

IndianaRedmon · Post by **IndianaRedmon** » Thu Sep 22, 2005 5:11 pm

Fedora and Mark VII bag goes with me to work every day. The jacket when it gets a bit cooler will be added.

Zach R. · Post by **Zach R.** » Thu Sep 22, 2005 8:03 pm

If I had a strap for my MKVII, it'd probably be getting the most use right now.

Indiana Croft · Post by **Indiana Croft** » Thu Sep 22, 2005 8:19 pm

For me: Fedora, Aldens and them The Wested.
I always wear my Fedora, no matter the temp, and I'd sleep in my Aldens if I could, but the misses would get anoyed with if I did.
Now my Wested I'll wear every chance I get, love that jacket, I'll wear the shirt and pants from time to time (no one at work recognize's either one) I wear my MKVII when I go on trips or when I go walking the woods.
I wear as much gear as I can.
