We're having drinks at a bar in Merida Mexico where they're playing vintage American movies on the TV screens.

I'm pretty certain that's a Kit Karson I'm seeing.

Post your vintage photos of leather jackets
Let's try (for the most part) to keep this more in the direction of civilian jackets, 1920s-1950s, and as much as possible to keep to higher resolution and first generation images.

1920s/early 1930s?


(Breaking my own rule, but hey, it's a cool photo) D-1 jackets at a hamburger place. 1940s


Delhi, NY, 1940s

Fort Worth, 1940. Unusual (to me anyway) 3/4 zip, 1/4 button jacket.

There may be a zip/button jacket like this on ebay presently.
