A French Blind Date

Dear fellow leather enthusiasts,

always loooking for nice vintage leather jackets few days ago I stumbled across a Belgian website offering a quite interesting French 50's motorycle jacket made from horsehide. A quick look at the numbers showed me it should be a perfect fit. A second look brought up a really interesting story: As it seems the biker jacket belonged to a guy who was a well known motorycycle stuntman and artist in France sometime during the 1950's, together with his wife, called "Les Poppeys"... Of course I couldn't resist to order the amazingly well maintained jacket at a astonishing low price. Now I'm waiting for the DHL guy ringing at my door…

LOL... At least the former owner was lucky enough to survive his professional career without damaging his jacket. So I'm hoping for a good karma
