To me, it looks like all these actual offered massmarket standard-leather jackets. But, surely, they are looking nice and smart and there are the cheaper ones, too, made of viscose. So, many people can purchase them, if they want one.

The fit looks quite good to me. A sort of longer Highwayman style. Probably is just a generic, cheap jacket... to some people clothes really are just clothes. He seems to enjoy it, though, which is all that really matters. Maybe it'll prove his entry-jacket and we'll see him in an Aero next year. ;)

Fits him well, but it has a cheap shiny gloss to it. Probably cost an arm and a leg.

Looks at least one size too large to me, shoulders are a mess, and sleeves are touching his knuckles...
You would think as the president of the US he would have someone to tell him what size he is!

From my observation, that's how most people wear their jackets. People think of 'em as overcoats, things you are supposed to wear over actual clothes to protect them.

Actually, I stand corrected. It's at least a size too big - look at the collar, zip it up and it'll still be at least an inch from where it should be. I think a lot of guys have no idea what size they are, really. I wore a standard 38 suit for years because quite often that's all there is to be had in most mall shops.

I'm sure it's an expensive designer label jacket. He's not going to wear a $99 Wilson's or Burlington Coat Factory special
