If you've got a quick jacket question and don't see a thread for it, just post it here. Whether the question is about fit, design, patterns, choice of leather, makers, hardware etc,. this is the place.

What is the function of this belt loop on the inside of the jacket?

Fairly certain it is supposed to be looped around your pants, so while riding it would keep the jacket from coming up and in place

It attaches to your belt that goes through your pants belt loops, keeping the jacket from riding up on the bike and exposing ass crack to the wind.

I've wondered that myself. I think it may enable you to loop your pants belt through the loop, connecting your jacket with your overpants, creating a pseudo one-piece riding suit. But I have no idea if that's right or not.

I thought it would be a good idea to bundle these kind of questions in a single thread.

This is an excellent idea for thread, Marc! There has been quite a few threads lately that required just a single answer, cases where often a simple yes or no would've sufficed and that's pretty much it for it.
@Fonzie - Practicality, I guess. Many people don't wear the belt off the motorcycle and this way, you still get to adjust the jacket to your liking. It isn't a bad feature to have. What I don't understand are those jackets that only have belt looks on the back. . .

The laces are there to make the jacket fit you, the loops are to attach your duty belt.
The gun, handcuffs, etc are carried on the jacket itself.
AHA! Hence the police jacket name, now I get it. Cheers.

Does Pecard's leather dressing affect the color of the leather it's being used on?

Generally I have found side laces to be more effective overall than full-round belts.

Thank you for this! It will be used in other locations outside FL!
Some leathers - but it fades away in a couple of months.
