TV show Chicago PD

Caught an episode of this show the other nice.
Noticed quite a number of Cafe Racer type jackets for the detectives.
Thought it was interesting how they were wearing these in the Chicago winter...looked cool but not that warm! :eusa_doh:

When I was growing up in Chicago in the 60s there were lots of cops who wore their leather jackets throughout the winter. Those jackets were probably a little warmer but not by much. Mind you, these were big beefy cops.


Filming a TV show in Chicago can be rough on actors. A friend of mine was in the cast of "Early Édition" and one day they had him shooting a scene all morning on the corner of Michigan and Oak (very windy corner) wearing only a sportcoat with the temp at -10.
