I couldn't pull that off in a million years! But if you could, you should...

I could but I'd probably put in on a couple of times for fun and then go back to leather ones so it wouldn't be a very wise investment but I'd love to have it. It's really something.

One of the deers has shipped. Waiting on last nights white score to ship. No idea if either will fit. Never owned anything like either of them. Both hides I’ve never had in jacket form; two styles I’ve never worn before. But @tmitchell59 has inspired a lot of my choices lately. Will do a full breakdown of both when they arrive.

@Monitor the blue reminds me of 50s and 60s rock n roll style. All the cool cats like Elvis, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, Little Richard...they were wearing velvet, lame, leather, pink and blue. If I had the courage I’d wear it.

Thanks for thinking of me! Already gone. This would be high quality and make some one very happy.

I hope my inspiration fulfills your expectations. I look forward to your new purchases.

Good points. And I agree, it is definitely something!

@tmitchell59 I thought this might be of interest to you. Check out the label. It is missing the belt but super cool Police jacket.

You'd need a big brimmed fuzzy fedora with a couple Peacock feathers.....

This one looks sweet. I'd buy it, but I just picked up a Schott 641xx on the cheap. Got too many of these racers now. 7 hours to go on the auction, but I bet no one bids on it. You might get cheaper if you wait, but at about $400ish + $75ish shipping, that's a good deal.

Are these measurements correct, I wonder? 48 cm shoulders and 56 cm P2P on a size 38 jacket?

think it was a size 40 no or LW tend to run big? In any case, that's the danger with the Japanese stuff. You don't have direct access to seller, so you can't clarify. So you really need to know what you're buying and have a reference point.

I'm wearing mine now. Here is a pic from earlier in the day...

You will be ecstatic if you purchase this Sportclad. No exaggeration, one of the nicest leather jackets around. Modern or vintage.

Stunning. Best part is that this is pretty much the jacket I spec'd as my last LW, down to every last detail, including the A-2 style epaulets. I truly would get it instantly, alas...
