Vintage Photos of Leather Jackets

[Seb Lucas]

It's interesting to me that some of the short jackets are also worn long. Really long. Longer than I would wear them.

^ Oh that's a great photo, do you know the date? Looks like the guy in the shearing is wearing LL Bean moccs or maybe Topsiders, but not sure when those were designed so maybe not... very weird.

I just love those WW2 aviator era caps with the long, soft brim. Papa Nui makes a nice repro these days.

Can't help with the date I'm afraid, I just stumbled across it.

Anybody know who made cafe racers with collars, as displayed by Scott Asheton of the Stooges here(standing at top of picture). Being a Michigan band, I'm guessing maybe it's a Brooks?
