Is there something special at this leather-jacket?
If anyone had asked me to take a good guess at where that jacket is, I'd have said it would most surely have been a part of the exhibit of David Bowie's career that toured Canada a couple of years ago, and that was such a hit with fans that they ran later in the evenings and extended the dates!

I think it's great that someone around here has it!

Ah, sorry.
Ken said that made no more than a couple of dozen of this model, roughly around 1969, in his Poland Street factory in London. Interesting detail for those familiar with Soho, the knits came from Berwick Street Market.
He said that it may have been based on a Leith Army Stores drawing in their Exchange & Mart advert for American Bomber jackets, but that it is essentially a heavily slimmed-down bomber with classic late 60s collar. It's a design untypical of what they was making at the time, which were skinny, cropped adaptions of biker styles.

We had 1980's retro a couple of years back- we did the 70's retro before that and now it's generic retro. But I've noticed a small sub group of women in high waste mum jeans ( whatever they are called).

Apparantly, it's known as "waist-high".
Whatever. Better, than the opposite until ten years ago, the mooning girls on supermarket or wherever.
What do you think about this short leather-jacket?
