    LOL, nope didn't buy it. Not my size and I don't know when I'd ever wear such an item.

    Just returned from a vacation in northern Michigan. During my trip, I saw this in an antique shop. Presumably goatskin. Electrically heated (although I'm not sure I'd try plugging it in). I never knew such a flight suit existed:

    40s Hercules "On the Waterfront" Wool Jacket

    I had the same impression as Ton. Looks like whipcord. Really nice pockets, too. Even better for you if it fits well.

    I wish this one were a size 40 or 42.

    Small Questions:

    I guess Vanson has sold a ton of Comets to 15-year-old boys. If you’re not tall or overweight and if you’re reasonably fit, a shorter jacket will work for you.

    Actually, the description says the lining is synthetic, not mouton. If this jacket is from the 1940s, would the lining have been real mouton? Did synthetic linings come along in the late 1960s?

    New Old Stock find - Chicago Police jacket in Blue steer

    Nice score! You never know what you're going to find when you visit a random antique store. I have a 1970s Canadian police jacket made by the same company. Found it at a local thrift store. Mine has a Talon-branded zipper pull on the left-hand side with a Lightning Fasteners zipper stop...

    It sounds like you're saying that you don't see evidence of later stitching for that mouton. Have you ever seen a jacket with mouton over the entire collar and lapels? It makes for an intriguing jacket, although the mouton and lining limits it to seasonal use.

    I think it may not be original. The more typical mouton collar is of the snap-on variety that covers the rear collar and top lapels. On the jacket in question, the mouton appears to be permanently sewn to the underside of the collar and both upper and lower lapels. I can't recall seeing that...

    This one was posted here earlier and has been in my watch list for a while. Anyone know if that mouton on the collar is a later addition?

    How long/short do you like your cafe racer for casual wear?

    I’m well over 15. But I do exercise 3-4 times a week and try to watch what I eat. CRs keep you honest.

    How long/short do you like your cafe racer for casual wear?

    I really like my Vanson Comet, size 42, from 2003. I bought it knowing it’s designed to be on the short side. I’m 5-9, 155.
