Yesterday, I came across these pictures of a cool man riding in leather. No idea who he was, but the jacket was familiar to me. And that Indian... man, what a presence!

Vaughn Monroe (October 7, 1911 - May 21, 1973) was a singer, trumpeter and big band leader, most popular in the 1940s and 1950s. Wikipedia

As a Cal-Leather enthusiast, I bet that jacket is one of their LAPD, just like the one James Dean wore in his photos. Visible paperclip as zipper pull, btw.
