According to Steve at Lewis, it does indeed check out as horsehide, mid 70s, one of the vintage archive Derek used to sell in the early days of his ownership of the company. The jacket is in such excellent condition, almost new old stock. It doesn't even look broken in at all compared to even...

Side note: AFAIK, Game of Death, where Bruce wore this iconic yellow and black jumpsuit, wasn't out til 1978 in the West. Approximating features, this jacket seems like early 70s. Probably very close to the debut of 401 and early on in the offering of colors. So, is the jacket a Bruce Lee...

Will also post some fit pics soon, but the cut is also much more akin to other vintage LL jackets i've owned: - Armholes are lower, providing more room in the chest and shoulders. Sleeves are wider and taper less to the wrist. Most of the recent LL jackets I've owned have much higher armholes...

Hi TFL, For sale is my Beauty & Youth x United Arrows Japan motorcycle leather jacket. This is clearly inspired by jackets like the Freewheelers Centinela and Buco J-31. It's a Japanese-market-only version of that jacket done by the label's high-mid tier Blue Label line. Cowhide shell and...
