Anyone know a jacket similar to what Robert DeNiro wears in The Irishman? Much like Aero's 5-pocket "Hercules" but with mismatched pockets for some reason. Love the blue-collar functional vibe and I'm massive DeNiro/mob movie fan. This also got me thinking about the authenticity of the Aero "Teamster" jacket.

Thank you Mike. I had used the search feature before making the thread but spelled DeNiro as one word so this one didn't show up. Cheers.
