Don't let Monitor hear you calling that a 'cafe racer style'!
I'll pretend I never said it.

Hate to say that, but it does look good on him. Rarely seen on a US president!

Looks like a Mall version of the LW Suburban. Orvis or Nordstrom??

Nice looking jacket; it does suit him well. Much better fit than the modern A2 I last saw him in - which ,to be fair, was a loaner jacket and not his personal wardrobe. Colour reminds me of some of the darker batches of Horween CXL FQHH I've seen. A longer jacket than we usually see here in many cases, but it's not impossible that it's a repop of a vintage style, if not the real deal. I don't know what Obama's personal tastes in clothing extend to... it's not unthinkable that he picked it up in a vintage store somewhere.
Nice spot, AdeeC....

It's long, but whatever - it looks good. As we've shown here over and over, there were fits all over the place, so there is no "correct" vs "incorrect". But then again, it's not an A-2...

Gawd that A-2 they gave him was way too big! this does look good on him. Looks like he is really digging being off the clock!

You're burying the lead!!!! The jacket looks fine what's amazing is his SMILE!!!!! His "I'm out of this cesspool and can breathe again let the other guy take the lumps for a change" smile.... That's the lead.

Looks like the same jacket he was photographed wearing a few months back.

That's a good outfit and nothing that 1/2 of the guys here don't wear on a daily basis! If I were ex-POTUS, I'd be wearing this stuff too. Could be stupid, which is what I call the $450 t shirts my son modeled a couple years back.
This is a good middle-class outfit and looks good.

Whatever the brand is, it's great to see a president wear a leather jacket that actually fits them. Glad to see he is enjoying time off the clock. Regardless of your opinion of his performance, he's earned some r&r.

maybe you USAians being a bit too easy on him since he was an ex US president and all, but to be an objective voice here... I'll dare say the jacket is too big on him a size or two , come on it is pretty obvious, shoulder line drops over his shoulder, body length is way too long, sleeve is halfway his hand, neck hole would be ridiculously big had he worn his jacket zipped up

It is too large.
But still looks OK. For a politician, it's a pass.
