    Nice jacket. Original zipper to the jacket. It looks like a Californian to me. The zipper is late post-WW II to early 50s.

    What do yall think? Y2 HR

    What matters is how you like it. In my view, I think the sleeves look short to me. The body looks ok. What ever float your boat, my friend. At the end of the day, you are the one rocking that thing.

    Review of a Rainbow Country x Mirror Ball ltd. Ed 40's style Sports Jacket "Santa Clara" made from mahogany veg tan Buffalo Hide

    The jacket looks very similar to my Harley townsman. Same design but details on the front pocket and sleeves that set them apart. However, both look like the same maker to me. Here are some images' of my Harley townsman (courtesy of Cdallas)

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    Nothing wrong with that. My point was to remind some people that a jacket is a tool that potentially can save your life in a MINOR accident. My goal when riding is to enjoy the ride. My experience has taught me to be in the look for danger so that I can anticipate potential harmful options...

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    If you want a motorcycle jacket for protection, a Dainese or other similar brands with armor are the best solution. All other jackets are a big compromise in a motorcycle accident. Some jackets are better motorcycle tools than others, None armor motorcycle jackets are mainly design to keep the...

    Long (double) Riders?

    Love the jacket. Elegant and classy design, but badass all around. I will go with 32 on you. The jacket looks good on you longer. I am not a big fan on the short tight trends. This jacket is not a trend. It is a classic design. Longer coats were a tool back on the day. The way I see it...

    Buying: Lost Worlds or Johnson Leather jacket, preferably longer style

    Friend, you can go wrong with Johnson/LW. In the past, I used to own a Hungarian military od color hh coat. It is a cool coat. Now I am older and prefer a less military color/style coat. I believe 26"-30" is car coat territory. There are many short coats in the market, but the newer brand...
