A Little Inspiration....

The Aviator himself- HH:

Hmmm.....wonder if he bought that jacket at Aero?

 

[Mycroft]

He is one of my icons in buissness, no frills, just drive(or fly) for your goals.

Interesting that this season's "must have" look is a dress shirt/tie paired with a leather jacket.

If it's coming from the pages of a modern "fashion" mag. it'll probably consist of a way too long tie and trousers with the waist worn down on the hips. Oh, and the shirt won't be tucked in. I like the HH way better.

Yes, not to mention that most of the leather jackets are super tight and loaded with enough zippers, studs and other hardware to make you look like a Christmas tree.

I know leather jackets from the '20's to the '40's were cut on the snug side, but the ones I've seen in the recent fashion mags look like they're about three sizes too small for the model.

Hughes looks looks dashing and put-together. The guys in the mags look like they're wearing a jacket they've had since they were about twelve years old.

That jacket was made by the British firm, Belstaff- a remake of an older design.
They have a 'vintage range'. If you look at a larger example of that image, you will see the 'Belstaff' logo on the sleeve-

Here's a slightly bigger pic of HH in the leather-

...and the Belstaff jacket-

I think that it's exactly the same design.

 

[BellyTank]

It IS that jacket!
It's the Belstaff one in the movie- the Belstaff logo is on the sleeve if you look at Di Crappio-
