When you've ran out of closet space to hang your jackets, some jackets, you can just stand'em...

Great jacket. My spontaneous thought was to have them rebuilt by 5*.

I'd be happy to provide measurements if anyone wants to take on that project. The jacket is very comfortable despite its heft, sits well on the shoulders, and is a classic Highwayman style.

That would be very cool on occasion.
E.g. the dimensions of the collar, how high the waistband is, how high the yoke is in relation to the jacket length, size and angle of the pockets, ...
But of course only if it is no trouble. Otherwise the pictures will have to do. lol

I have little experience with newer jackets, but his Jerky looks good enough to eat! It also looks very comfortable.

Looks great. That would be a great leather for most styles.

Superb!! That jerky has aged nicely. Could easily pass for a true vintage piece.

This is just for fun. This lady is a renowned Czech artist, and dear friend, on her Jawa with her leathers back in the 50's. If you are not familiar with Jawa, they were an innovative company you can read about below, if you wish.

While old Jawas might be known for their classic styling and unmistakable exhaust note, they brought a lot of innovations to the table as well

There were some very tough ladies on motorcycles around back then. She emigrated to the US during the Communist takeover.

Yeah, I remember the Jawa brand motorcycles from back in the '60s. They were a very popular motorbike on the speedways tracks in the UK. A lot of the big stars of that time rode these bikes.
