Thanks! It’s a good piece: excellent type I pattern (the pleated folds have some room to give), unlined leather feels nice on the skin, and solid construction. I’m a fan of the snap button closure. The pockets seem functional, they fit my iPhone 14 easily. Generally, there is not much to complain about except some minor nitpickings: (1) I wish pocket flap placement was on the left instead of the right; (2) I wish there was one additional snap closure between the sleeve button closure and rivet near the elbow because the sleeve feels like it bulges out a bit. Overall, 8/10.
I went to the Mister Freedom store and tried on several of their leather jackets, but this piece in this color stood out the most.

This time a Tatanka Freewheelers a-1 flight jacket, my wife’s 2nd favorite jacket at the moment. She still likes the lighter color vs the tatanka.

There's no label, if anyone wants to take a guess as to who the maker might be?

Love the finish on this jacket! Or how they dyed it. I like the textured look.

I'm back to the good old days. Thanks
Amazing, but at this stage it looks like you’re on a subscription base contract with JL and a couple of other makers. Confess.

Best fit on you by far, buddy. Sleeve length is right. Nice, strong shoulders too. What a score!
