Lewis Leathers N. Jones Motoring Jacket

Lewis Leathers posted this on Facebook and Instagram. It's called the N. Jones jacket, and it's a British motoring jacket in suede with a smooth-side collar. It looks sharp. I love jackets like this. Like an A-2 without the military vibe.

Glad he doesn't have the number "130" on his car.

That is a fine jacket, and it does motor well with that sweet ride. However, the white pants and the face shrubbery make the model dude look like the Great Ratsby.

Member of Take That, an English boyband equivalent of Nsync from the 90s. Still touring, styling themselves as a 'man band' and producing commercial pop music for middle aged women who fancied them when they were in their early teens.

The TT boys, when they came back as men, have always gone for that 'not shaved in four days' look. I think it;'s meant to look manly, but to me personally, yes, it just looks unkempt.

To the matter of the jacket itself, though, it is a nice jacket. Interesting to see it marketed with the sportscar imagery rather than a motorcycle. Looks to me like a suede version of the Countryman / Lumber model. Very reminiscent of 1930s British jackets of that style - see also the Aero Royale.
