The Story of my First Leather Jacket

My Dad in 1931 at age 26 ( same age as my son is now ). He was an artist and Mechanical Engineer. Always wore a tie and smoked a pipe. I was his only child and we were very close. He bought me my first leather jacket when I was in Junior High. An a2 type. I wish I had a photo of it.

Great history between you and your Grandfather, thanks for sharing, and you other guys too. I didn't know my grandfathers, but I was very close with my Dad, and I still have some of his jackets from the 1950s that I treasure: a suede casual jacket, a camel hair sportscoat, a grey car coat with fur trim, and one of his fishing club blazers. When we have known family like that, when we have learned from them and laughed with them and they've helped us grow and there's that special bond, we carry them around with us forever.
