I'm reminded of David Lean's Lawrence Of Arabia.An Army Sergeant makes the hackneyed "What do you think you look like" observation on Lawrence's Arab dress.I have my own opinion on who looks elegant and sophisticated.
The collar looks like it might be irritating in terms of interfering with crash helmet straps.I like the colour and think it would look great after several years of riding.

Ahem..on a separate note I have started wearing these kaftans indoors as I detest hot weather.So cheap and so comfortable.
Yes....price somewhat eye-watering and way beyond my reach also.A well-worn Carhartt work jacket has just scratched an itch for £21.As far as I know linen ages well though so you can get get a lot of wear out of a well made garment.
Apologies if not your thing-100% linen tho' and made in Japan

I like the detailing on this one though not the price or the leather type

I would say it's worth it for its rarity and even better if it fits you and you like the jacket.French jackets of the Barnstormer/Canadian style seem to be on offer from £90 up to £150 in the UK.FWIW I have never seen one of these before.I think you would be lucky to get your money back though...
As a consolation for waiting you might find you can wear it for more of the year than perhaps you thought.They are a warm jacket but lighter on the body if that makes any sense-Lot of fun to wear.
