Obama was was photographed outside a Washington museum over the weekend wearing this old looking cafe racer type. Any idea on a possible maker? I happy I'm not the only one who sometimes wears jackets with sleeves a tad long.

Nice looking jacket; it does suit him well. Much better fit than the modern A2 I last saw him in - which ,to be fair, was a loaner jacket and not his personal wardrobe. Colour reminds me of some of the darker batches of Horween CXL FQHH I've seen. A longer jacket than we usually see here in many cases, but it's not impossible that it's a repop of a vintage style, if not the real deal. I don't know what Obama's personal tastes in clothing extend to... it's not unthinkable that he picked it up in a vintage store somewhere.

Nice spot, AdeeC....

It's long, but whatever - it looks good. As we've shown here over and over, there were fits all over the place, so there is no "correct" vs "incorrect". But then again, it's not an A-2... ;)

maybe you USAians being a bit too easy on him since he was an ex US president and all:p, but to be an objective voice here... I'll dare say the jacket is too big on him a size or two , come on it is pretty obvious, shoulder line drops over his shoulder, body length is way too long, sleeve is halfway his hand, neck hole would be ridiculously big had he worn his jacket zipped upo_O
