Just spotted this on the Denimbro site.
Very nice!
I hesitate to complicate this discussion, but couldn't that "western" jacket really be called "rockabilly"? I think any of these fellows would feel comfortable wearing it.
No doubt an apt description, majormajor - a young Brian Setzer springs immediately to mind. Personally, I like the "blues done cracker style" definition of rockabilly. Style-wise, sites have sprung up to "instruct" rockabilly wannabees on how to look the look (see link below for one example). As for leather jackets, Lost Worlds describes the Roadmaster jacket as rockabilly, and the closure at the bottom of the Roadmaster's zipper stands out as a similarity to the "western" jacket depicted here. I'll stand by my claim that this is a rockabilly jacket. What do others think?

Just about everyone here wearing any vintage style is a wannabe? Hmm, I'm not sure I'd buy into that mindset too quickly. As long as someone's not hurting others, let 'em have fun. What do you suppose many WWII vets think of A-2 wearing guys here? I think it's more a tribute or compliment. Well, I choose to think that way 'cause what's the point giving anyone a hard time for their style? Don't get me wrong, I dislike much of what I see out there, but whatev's lol
