Thankyou sir. I travelled extremely widely as a (much!) younger man and have to concur.
Basically a motorcyclist's paradise (while constantly watching with paranoia for errant car drivers !)
That's the 100% main reason I settled in Perth Western Australia , one third the size of the continental US with a population IN TOTAL of only 2.2 million. For 20+ years I used a Harley as my main transport. Not so much now as I am older !

In keeping with my tradition of uploading absolutely appalling quality jacket selfies, here's a shot of me ready to hit the streets for my allowed regulation daily exercise in my beloved Buco J24L

There is a real freedom in finding a well fitting and cool vintage jacket. Your Brooks is killer!
Does it have the action back?

That's so true! Sure, if I put the stitch work under magnifying lens it would come up short compared to the best makers today. But the leather is lovely and the pattern is amazing in terms of comfort and range of motion.
There is an action back, but it is a bit tired after 60 years.

I feel the same way with my Kehoe. It is nowhere near the top-tier of today, but damn do I feel great wearing it, and I love the broken in steerhide leather too.

Seeing your Kehoe was one of the things that prompted me to keep on looking for a nice vintage cafe racer actually.
