I do like the jacket on him as it is. A fairly lose fit, by Japanese standards, sure, but he pulls it off well imho, it suits his laid-back attitude and style of clothing. Another thought that occurred to me is that this fit may have been a very aware decision to avoid any of the spandex super tight leather fetish associations.

Particularly with that model of jacket. Which to the casual viewer has a strong association with something very far away from motorcycles.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find out that he was a TFL member either. The jacket might very well pop up for sale in the classifieds here.

I'm pretty sure a vintage clothing enthusiast as him at very least knows and occasionally reads the fedoralounge, even though he may not be posting actively. It's not like there is a different internet for extremely successful people like him.

That reminds me of one man, Johnny Depp. With his infinite supply of old leather jackets, do you think he browses our chats and for sale forum here?

Well I've seen Jason Momoa vintage buying in London. I doubt he spends his time buying or reading in forums.

Same with Johnny Depp, pretty sure they might have contacts which sell them the cool stuff.

As you would expect an actor with unlimited budget and a top maker to have an exact fit...again I question when he got fitted though? A lot of these actors in super hero movies are gigantic during filming then tone down their workout routine and lose a lot of mass after its over. Or others gain weight after from not hitting the gym. So in his and Freewheelers defense if he got fitted months ago and was at peak Aquaman bulkiness and then lost 20lbs of mass after filming not much can be done there.

”Tone down their workout routine” this must be the most eloquent way of saying that someone is on off cycle of his steroid usage.

Most if not all A-list actors, whose muscular apperance is part of their actor ”package” use performance enhancing drugs. If they’re wise, they will only use those when they’re preparing for a role. That would make a big guy like Jason lose easily 20 lbs or more when his off the juice. Of course I have absolutely no proof of Jason’s usage, and if he has built his physique by simply hard lifting and clean living for last ten years, then my hats is off to him. But that is very very unlikely!

That’s an interesting question. I guess it really comes down to whether or not those guys just like to wear old stuff, or if they also like to know about the old stuff they are wearing.
Many (most?) of us stumbled across this place while looking for a hat or a leather jacket so I suppose it’s entirely possible that the rich and famous sometimes suffer the same fate!

Bingo! You don't gain 20lbs of muscle in 6 months (nor lose it) w/out chemicals.

Hey guys I was trying to be nice about it haha. Although when youre rich and surrounded by dieticians, personal trainers, life coaches, sleep analysts, you know the whole nine yards I do imagine they are capable of doing ridiculous amounts of things we normal folk cannot. Lifestyles of the rich and famous "Champagne wishes and caviar dreams." -In my best Robin Leach voice of course.

Seems impossible to build the muscle mass they achieve in the period in time they do without them. Have you seen Christian Bale body changes between films? There has been a lot of discussion about it and we'll never know for sure but he's not the only one doing these changes and between the machinist and Batman Begins there was like 6 months IIRC, he even was told that he was too big!

I don't think it's crazy to think they use any help they can get to reach those peaks. There are a lot of legal supplements and we aren't talking only about stereoids.
