Actual, you can buy this kind of flight/motorcycle-jacket all-around, in europe. There are the leather-ones and for the masses, there are the same-looking jackets made of viscose, much cheaper and imitating the leather-look. The ones made from viscose cost around 80 Euro.

It's true, the malls are full of these exact jackets. They're mostly lambskin. I never knew Bowie wore one but either way, I don't like it much...

I've been looking to find a good copy of that jacket for years! When I first saw him wearing it in 1977 I had no idea who made it. I also like the jacket he wore back in 1968, has a look of the Eastman Air Comfort about it (pre-dating Eastman by almost 20 years though!), although typical of many leather 'bomber' jackets of the time. Bowie once said he didn't suit leather jackets but he always looked cool IMO! http://art-sheep.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/David-Bowie-in-the-early-Days-of-His-Career-3.jpg
