What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Here it is the end of June and it was cool enough to wear leather when I took my motorcycle out this morning. I chose the lightest leather I have--my Schott Cafe Racer. It was just right for the approximately 62 degree weather. I just needed something to keep the wind off.

Of all the seven million dollars price tag jackets I've had, I swear this stupid few dozen $ 70's German motorcycle police jacket is everything I was after when I was wasting all that money on high end brands. . . And I got it in a complete set with a motorcycle leather pants, separate leather kidney panel and one glove. Oh, and I apologize for the terribly sexist shirt. I heard these can get rocket scientists fired from NASA.
So the cafe racer guy posts a jacket with a collar. And it's the best collar ever. I love this jacket and I wish our favorite makers would take note of how much better this wider collar, set higher pointing toward the shoulders looks.
Super cool jacket and perfect fit man.

Sometimes I wonder if people who design and make clothes actually look at clothes.
I don't know if it's the Mungo Jerry in me or what but I honestly have never owned a leather jacket with a dress collar that I liked. Always wanted it wider and pointed to the shoulders. It's more flattering to the physique and creates a better profile overall. I don't know. Being born in the 70's has its consequences I 'spose.

Monitor might not realize that with his long hair and long facial hair having a collar on his jacket helps balance out his appearance which I doubt a racer collar would.
He kinda looks like Christian Bale in one of those Batman movies when he's locked in the underground prison or something.

That could be easily remedied with a sharp knife. I am surprised Monitor would wear it the way it is.

I don't know what he looks like there, I only saw the first Batman, but that's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.
Just Googled Bale to see this and look, a Schott!
@Peacoat, lol I was thinking about it but it's kinda nice collar. And it's got that zig zag thing going on in the back. Or I must be getting old. . .

I sorta wish I hadn't seen the photographs of the real Monitor. While he is a nice looking guy, my impression was that he was Joan Jett. This revelation is going to take some getting used to.

Monitor looks better than that guy and I'm not even being nice.
