Anyone got pics of a jacket that falls into this category? If so I'd love to see em

Originally it was seeing this one here that sparked my interest

That one is stunning. Wonder how it looks from the back?

Rear is very similar to the Aero Speedster. It would be interesting to see this style reproduced - I don't think I've seen anything in Europe or the US reproducing this collar on a halfbelt (though likely one of the Japanese companies has done it).

The collar's almost like a leather version of an MA-1. Great looking jacket.

That design is so unusual and cool. And the grain in that leather is fantastic.

That is a great jackey HBK!
Is it lined and who made it?
