Outstanding Guppy. Really fantastic. Fit looks perfect and the hide looks amazing! These don't appear in the wild too often if ever and it's great to see one actually being worn. That is an absolutely killer jacket. I love the front yoke and the start point for the main zip. Did you spec the zip there? Man. I want one!

The Wayfarer has been a bit of an overlooked style. Seeing it on your back Guppy makes me wonder why. Like PN said it looks heaps better in real life than it does on the website as a flat picture. I really like the colour, it's a deeper brown than my Halfbelt. It really suits the style.

Thanks. I didn't specify anything about the zipper, that's all standard.

Thanks, I asked for the darkest brown they had available. It is pretty dark.

Excellent jacket. I've been considering one of these myself so seeing it on a real person definitely helps. Now to decide between a Wayfarer or Teamster. Can you tell me the back length on your 44 and your height? Also, does this have a drop front where it's longer than the back or is it even hem? Thanks!

Back length is about 26". There is a slight drop in the front, but it's only a inch, maybe.

Gosh that is tempting! What a beautiful jacket (yours and the one on thier website as well).

I agree that this style needs more representation out in the real world. Thanks for showing us yours, I really really like it Guppy!

I think one of those would look fantastic with the back of a Dustbowl, if possible.

Great looking jacket - I think this is the first of these I can remember seeing in the wild. Fit looks really spot on too. Enjoy!

(As for the M65, I wouldn't hold your breath - I was told at Aero that Ken had set a firm '1959' cut-off date for their designs, so. Silvermans in the UK do one under their own house label, GTH: https://www.silvermans.co.uk/products/gth-leather-m65-jacket?variant=4194708355 - though I'm not personally convinced it's a style that works in leather.)
