The leather looks great, especially under and around the left outer pocket - that shot captures its quality well. As somebody who perennially worries abut jackets being too short I'd say this one definitely isn't. If it was me I'd be happy

Best wishes

Interesting - without handwarmer pockets! - Well, I use (and need) mine very often despite the fact that I got two breast pockets.
I like the clean look of the back - most of the halfbelt position looks too high for my taste - think it'll look much better on tall guys.

I have handwarmer pockets on the Highwayman and only use them when its cold - wich is when I use the Highwayman, and I agree that its very very nice to put the hands into the moleskin lined pockets. Since this is a "summer" jacket i went for no handwarmer pockets, inspired by my CaferRacer since it works very well on that one too.

I almost think this jacket looks futuristic rather than 1930's--in a good way. It's always refreshing to see some guts and imagination at work experimenting on such expensive jacket designs. What sort of inner pockets have you in this one? Many futuristic sci fi films draw upon the past to make future fashion in an interesting combination. Blade Runner comes to mind, among others.

I have just one gun pocket in the facing with snap buttom closure.

I have 2 inner pockets in my CafeRacer, but I actually never use more then one so...

Hey Griff - Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but could you tell me how tall you are? I'm trying to get the length right on a similar jacket and am looking for comparisons. Thanks.
