FIND: The Flat Head WRJ-51 Double Rider 38

[Mr. Hide]

Recently found out about this discontinued model Double Rider from FH and happened upon this on Mercari Japan https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m37...yLGvwxc7JyjUbSMnukoR67EK73Qu8HvcaAnftEALw_wcB

A pretty cool find for anyone that can fit into a 38. Similar to the outgoing Double but differentiated by lace fasteners. Saw a previous posting here with a nice mouton collar to match but unsure if it’s available for purchase anywhere :\

Man that is tempting! I’ve always liked that style and I even own a schott perfecto that I’ve had for many years. It’s funny because I watched a video about how us old guys shouldn’t be wearing these jackets. It’s true I am now in my mid 50’s and feel a little awkward wearing the perfecto out in public. However I’ve been wearing that jacket when I was in my 30’s. Anyways I only watched the video because the young woman in the video was beautiful, and honestly don’t care what people think. I may buy this jacket! Lol

Wear what you like and stand tall my friend! I think these jackets are timeless and never look out of place regardless of age. This particular one sure is a beauty and I would’ve jumped at the chance to take her home if she wasn’t such a tight fit haha
