Somehow this IR style looks off to me.

Said to be base on 40s Indian Ranger. Missing belt, belt loop and epaulet.

Mn. It looked too long to me at first, but I think, bearing in mind the removal of the belt detail, the problem is less length and more that it really needs the pockets moved slightly to readjust the perceived proportions.

They posted the one they copied from and I am not sure the sleeves zip are on top of that one. I think the seams are on the outside and zips are facing inside on that original.

I quite like the Indian Ranger and would love to see someone other than Aero making a copy of it. This Trophy one is a disappointment.

The Aero model is one I love. It would be interesting to see a direct copy of a specific year model by comparison. Aero's is - per Aero's website - a sort of composite version, comprising all the best features across a period of several years and and around the late forties / early 50s. Very much the way Aero does things: making what was possible and could have been made back then without limiting themselves to what definitely was done. Which is what I love about the Aeros, but it'd be interesting also to see a "specific contract" version, so to speak.

For one thing, the photo is a fashion runway model fit. Most always short sleeves and body length.

I have a feeling the body is the standard length (and 'correct' for the model's frame), and that 'crop top' look comes from the jeans being cut in a contemporary fashion way, with the waistband four or five inches south of the model's actual waist. Iggy Pop can pull that off. The rest of us not so much. (Incidentally, I know you and I are on the same page about untucked shirts; I often feel that's caused by modern fashion cuts too. I've noticed a lot of shirt tails getting shorter in recent years to the point where it's not always easy to keep them tucked in in an actual waist-level waist band; I wonder if this lower waistband / shorter shirt is a big contributor to the normalisation of that look...).

On the long side to my eye, but I like the concept. This sort of thing (though likely synthetic) was all the rage among my female undergrads a few years ago.

I'm re-watching Star Trek Enterprise and have just spotted some neat jackets I haven't seen before.

Big fan of the wool / leather mix jackets there. A lot like some of the ones Aero have been making recently. Different vibe than an all-leather jacket, more like a wool jacket with leather-reinforced patches at areas that might be subject to hard wear. Sort of like a donkey jacket, but infinitely more stylish.

Nice pocket placement. I like that coin pocket type up on the breast.

Oh man, you have this bad boy too!? I wonder how come nobody picked up this style for a repro! It'd certainly be something new-ish.

No I don't own that jacket. This is my favorite of the Combo jackets.

The only thing is that single welt pockets would be so classy here

Jelado east west

 

[handymike]

I prefer the longer East West models- they look so unique.

Nearly perfect - the logo on left arm really kills it for me

 

[Monitor]

Ever since I got into this gothy, high-end fashion stuff like CCP and other designers, all the makers we discuss here are starting to seem like amateur hour...
Just reading about what these guys do to create a perfect, unique leather jacket, like in-house tanning that can last for 6 months, makes me think I've been on a wrong trail all this time. The jacket below is made of 1.4 mm horsehide.

What is that?

I think Matchless is doing really well. Great jackets
