As much as I love my leather jackets, this Freewheelers Brodovitch may be my favorite.

I've said the same about my Freewheelers Wigwam

It really is the perfect riding jacket. Stuart advised I keep it snug to best appreciate the pattern. He was right. It disappears when riding. And I’m cozy inside my little leather cocoon.

It's these sweeping vertical seams on the front and back, they do something magical and give a roundess to both front and back panels that perfectly hugs the body.
I think Leathertogs really nailed it when they did that, it's one of the cleanest/most comfortable designs i have worn.
The LT/A is just as glorious, so is the LaBrea to be fair.
The fact that the seam on the back of the arm is french seamed rather than flat felled is also nice, it makes it much more comfortable when bending your arms.
If i ever wear a LT for a few days and then go back to a jacket with flat felled sleeves like the CHP or J-23 i instantly notice the thick seams rubbing on the back of my elbow.

I’m seriously considering the A for my next project. I think it will work best with what I have in mind.
