not too distressed
Can I just say that I've been wearing and collecting vintage leather jackets for 40+ years, and I've NEVER NEVER EVER seen any type shape or form of faked or pre-distressed jacket that looked remotely 'right' and I've seen such things going new for thousands at times, so I remain to be convinced that the main hero jacket above is a new leather jacket altered to look old, I'm not saying it CAN'T be done, but no convincing evidence that it can has been presented in this thread so far,..now it would make sense that if a commercial entity made that jacket, then more are available, yet I see none on the site, and I've tried to find a picture of one that ain't on Bruce. Even if that one was custom, I feel that if repro's of that look were attainable, they would sell like the proverbial, but unless there's some other way to appraise them that I don't know of...then they're still in the oven so to speak!
