What kind of jacket is on the picture?

Found few pictures of Billy Gibbons, wearing pretty cool jacket. It seems like vintage half belt for me, but what would you all think?

Cut, color, and the boloney-cut cuff trim seem to match the Schott 135, which is a vintage but non-halfbelt style. The beard covers where the breast pocket might be, alas.

Doesn't seem like Schott 135 - cuffs don't seem right. I have that lower picture on a full magazine page and there seem to be buttoned cuffs like classic halfbelt cut has.

You could be right. To my eye, the cuffs in the OP's shot look like the ones linked below, on the Schott 135's "winter sister" jacket the Schott 136. I called them "boloney cut", by which i mean that the seam for the cuff assembly is cut at a slant relative to the axis of the sleeve.

Forgive the need to click a link, but as usual the image display function [at least the version in the advanced editor] is on the fritz and tells me the image is "Invalid."
