What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Awesome Vespa. My uncle owned a store selling them in Hollywood in the 70s. He's got some great celebrity stories. My two favorites:

Ray Charles (yes that Ray Charles) used to ride one. Someone would follow behind him with a radio and tell him when to brake, when to turn, etc. My uncle said inevitable a few times a year, the Vespa would come in for body work.

Steve McQueen one day comes by to check one out. He turns it on inside the store, totally ***s it and goes flying out the narrow door popping a wheelie, cool as ice.

Can't make this stuff up. Sometimes you're just born cool.
Amazing. And crazy. Love it.

I know I'm too old for cross zips... I'll give it a try anyway.

Buck Mason lamb leather zipped in different ways. I don’t ride bikes. The Schott Perfecto steer hide was too stiff for me. Cheers!

tbh, i am thinking of selling it for some time now, since it's too small for me to wear. But man, it took me a couple of years to find an example like this. Parting will be hard, i'd rather trade it for one like that in my size.....
Well I unfortunately don't have another one. If you do sell, let me know please! I've been wanting one of those for quite some time

Never too old, Sir!

You're never too old to wear a jacket you love or just enjoy wearing! Also, you look great in it.
Thank you.
My reference to the age was meant rather ironically, related to this thread ;)
