Cafe Racer jacket in Battered Seal mid-HH arrived two days early to Taipei, just in time for cooler weather and mild typhoon (typhoons in Taipei seem much kinder than HK equivalents). I sized up to a 42 and, for me, this is an ideal fit for this style (I don't want to look like laowei sausage-boy). The sleeves will shorten up, but they're also quite handy as they are. The inner lining is black cotton drill; much as I like tartan linings, this might be harder-wearing and better for when the temperature starts to climb again. As I work at altitude, this'll definitely see a good few months' wear...

The sleeves look unbalanced because I've trapped a nerve in my shoulder, so I'm a bit lop-sided.

I reckon this is a bit heavier than the Battered Tan; it's already showing some lighter areas due to creasing (and because I wear it out in the deluge like a boss).

Thanks Bowen. It's a late 40s/early 50s model that has been around more than a few blocks. I see the back has picked up a few wrinkles from being at the bottom of a pile for the summer. Oh well, hopefully they will hang out. The boots are some Sears Wearmasters of about the same age as the jacket, I think. Double tanned with a stitched and nailed tire cord sole.

Thanks all,
Michael
