So sad we're only drooling over US jackets when stuff like this gets unnoticed. Gorgeous, beautiful jacket.
here’s another one going the wrong direction IMHO:I honestly don't understand the appeal of these, I think they are ugly. However ,they( Ship John) do seem to generate a lot of interest.

Seriously, a Blackbear/Y’2 leather N1 would’ve been more appropriate

@Tom71 just bought an addict but different style. And I know of one other member who's handled addict and said it was stellar. I can tell you Butterscotch is cool shop. I have their Vanson collab Commando. It is superb.
edit: btw, I used to think type 3 leather was kind of weird. Stuck my toe in the water with some cheaper stuff from Levis and Gap. Really like it. Now ready for something more fancy LOL.
Weren't some of these produced by Aero?For those who have been curious about the Sam Walker jackets, here is one:

I have owned one of these, and I would personally stay away from it. The hide looks pretty good in photos, but feels more plastic like in life.
I did have a great Sam Walker jacket long ago, but it was a very different model.
Fidelity IR HH (good luck figuring out measurements from the pictures). M? $260

A nice jacket for the price. Stupid measurements... No intl shipping.
A crappy smaller one is for sale, but for $1400 you have some mold and a broken zipper...
VINTAGE 1940S HEAVY LEATHER FIDELITY SPORTSWEAR BIKER JACKET MADE IN USA SMALL | eBay
Ha. That’s crazy. I have one of these. Different label, no storm cuffs. Absolutely recommend for the pattern and fit alone. I can deal with shorter jackets (I’m short), but for those that can’t, this is one vintage jacket to look at. It looks good on different body types too. Just a nice pattern. And in a thick HH that ages very well. The HH version is not easy to find in wearable condition. I lucked out on a mint one, but it cost me too.
In good conditions, this is a nice HH Fidelity. No one at my size anyway here.
I noticed too the storm cuff with zip sleeves, kind of strange looking ? Original ?
