A French Blind Date

[MacAero]

Dear fellow leather enthusiasts,

always loooking for nice vintage leather jackets few days ago I stumbled across a Belgian website offering a quite interesting French 50's motorycle jacket made from horsehide. A quick look at the numbers showed me it should be a perfect fit. A second look brought up a really interesting story: As it seems the biker jacket belonged to a guy who was a well known motorycycle stuntman and artist in France sometime during the 1950's, together with his wife, called "Les Poppeys"... Of course I couldn't resist to order the amazingly well maintained jacket at a astonishing low price. Now I'm waiting for the DHL guy ringing at my door…

cool jacket and background history, hopefully the jacket's aura won't make you ride/ drive recklessly

LOL... At least the former owner was lucky enough to survive his professional career without damaging his jacket. So I'm hoping for a good karma

Good luck .
