Marvel superhero movies been making some dough the last decade +, DC haven't done too badly either; but sometimes the real heroes are the guys you hang out with on internet forums. They have much cooler leather jackets than any cape. God keep you safe, Leither, and Bowen, thank you for your decades of service in ICUs and ERs. You guys are the real deal.

Brooks Cafe Racer from the "Finds and Deals" thread, it's a size 38 but it feels a little too tight when I zip it. The leather is beautiful and the patina is really nice, I'm not sure how old it is but I think this one is one of the early ones if I recall well looking at the embroidered gold label and the smaller talon zippers, any one knows how to date it?

I used a MacBook to post it and didn’t give me an option to change the direction of the pics. Maybe it’s just Apple trying to be difficult.

Today is A1 day - my first day back into the Office since a couple of weeks - not yet a full restart but some important issues

Jacket is made by BRONSON - it's their largest size 44 and fits remarkably well although i'm usually more a 46 guy
Boots are RedWing "Spirit Lake" - pants PikeBrothers

Nice Fonzie - my favourite jacket maker, style and weight. They do tend to fit a size small. It's a pre- '79 jacket, probably mid 1970's.

I’ve found my pics need to be 4:3 aspect ratio. If they are 16:9 (vertical) it displays horizontal. So if I crop yours a bit they display vertical.

Nice jacket too btw! Hard to beat the fit of the two pocket Brooks.

  1. Good to know! Thanks Tony.
    Good to see you guys on the other side of the globe getting into jacket weather. I’m ready for t shirt weather myself but Mother Nature won’t abide. Another 1” of snow last night. Then 60 degrees F by the weekend. Spring in Chicago is a psychotic mess.

Yeah mate, it’s been a very hot and long summer. It’s was about time we can use the jackets again.
