Is this Photoshop to show how it will age or is this panel mismatch for real?

Showing how it will age

First time I saw it I was l what the???? Too

Weird but cool at the same time. It would be neat to see more makera do that. They say its fast aging hide too

The Modoc was from last night . . . tonight, I eschewed quality in favor of history and strapped on this heap of junk haphazardly manufactured by Buco:

I'm still not yet quite sure what is it that you mean by the historical influence of this jacket, as it isn't really influential in any significant way, but it does fit you very well and looks great.

Perfect fit and you look very happy with it!

@Monitor:
Wasn't Buco J-100 a precursor of the modern cafe racer jacket? Or were there earlier ones and the Buco is popular because it took on a certain mystique?

There were much earlier ones. If I am not mistaken, the style as we know it appeared some 20 years before Buco.

I believe Buco is became popular after Rin Tanaka declared the J-24 to be the best jacket ever, the hype automatically spilling over to anything branded Buco (happened around the time the cafe racer was also super trendy among Hollywood stars, too) but I honestly never heard anything about the J-100 having any influence on a cafe racer style, ever.

Looking good! For some reason I like this one better on you than any of your leather jackets.. may be the shorter length and the broader shoulders.. you dropped some weight too, didn't you?

The Lewis Leathers Universal Racer was designed at least 20 years before the J-100, why is it not considered a "precursor of the modern cafe racer jacket"? Maybe Rin Tanaka didn't think it was cool?

(did a bit more googling since i posted, the buttoned UR MkI is from around 1926, the zippered MkII version shown below is from the early 30s.)

Cool morning ride. LW PJ27 and cheap (but awesome) Levi vest.

GW Bronco A2

Low 70s blustery and rainy today, so I decided to put on some winter gear and do a road trip way up to the North side. The light weight cow hide and A2 pattern was perfect for a cruise to Hanalei in my Prius with the AC blasting.

I like your style western boots, western fedora, and the Bronco

Speaking of shoddy old CR’s built on sub par standards...I don’t wear this 1969 Bates nearly enough, but will today.

Thanks! I do really the short length of vintage-style leather jackets.

Yes, thanks for noticing. I'm down 26 pounds since October

Except that this jacket is stitched and made better than some of the priciest repros.
