My old Lee Storm Rider blanket lined jean jacket. I recently got it back in rotation as it hasn't fit for many years (and now does due to recent weight loss). Not sure when I bought it but I think in the early 70's, perhaps even when I was in high school. Excited that it fits again!

Beautiful photography, especially the top photo - the lighting looks like a Caravaggio painting.

And the jacket is the epitome of sprezzatura.

You will turn heads.

@jnovac1 - bad things can happen if you attempt to cook standing on your head.

Coinkidink you should post this jacket Stringmaster - I was just thinking about when I was a kid and used to watch Paul Newman wearing Levi jackets - I think that jacket and the way Paul wore them is what first turned me on to "manly" jackets.

Thank you! But it's just an old camera set on a pile of books and my mess of a room. I just didn't use flash because flash stinks.

I would say true to size but this sz. 40 that I have is more a 38 of today. Fits me exactly like a Schott 141 in 38. It's a trim fitting jacket though mostly because of the stuffed lining. Without it, it would be a lot roomier.

Kehoe, in blue preferably. XD And tons of others. I still have to see Taubers and Bates in person.
It's a really neat jacket and one of the nicer Beau Breeds that I've seen. Super light, though...

I can do that but it's actually nothing special. At least not how I've done it. But I can post some photos of the fabrics when I find time. Ah wait, holidays started today for me. Haha.

AL Roadster. First "real" leather jacket, been wearing it pretty daily much since getting it.

Freaking awesome! IMO just how this jacket's supposed to fit and look. Perfection!

Pie: You have me at a crossroads . . . an irreconcilable conflict. Notwithstanding my openly strong sentiment for the manufacturer, I must concede that your photo is stellar! Well done.

Hard to believe, but Schott is perfectly capable of making a jacket that actually fits good - or rather, one that doesn't fit like a tube. At least I think mine fits well. CM1 cafe racer. Oh, and yeah, a thousand dollars leather jacket paired with a $3 department store jeans that my girlfriend bought me at a thrift store because she loved the way they looked in the window. Probably stone washed too though I've no clue what that means. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
