But how ever could you miss such an interesting, fun, unique, different, distinctive, individual, esoteric, almost eccentric leather jacket!

I really like this version of the Leathertogs (even if it is modified) which is also made of Shinki HH

That's what I meant when I said patches, I think they add a bit of a racing element to it
I appreciate that Himel Bros aren't the flavour of the month around here, but this unlined, minimalist café racer really does it for me.

Green label, early 50s Custom Langlitz.
Is that the same model, new (right) and after a period of wear and sun exposure (left)?
If I interpret that correctly, then yes.
The details look like it too.
I think the aged version is really great.
I hope that my unfinished HH jacket will be like this once I have it.
I really quite fancy the idea of something simple and unlined - like a cafe racer, but with a collar - in a leather like this.
I'm waiting for my Sheene ;-) But with a light lining.
Better be goat, goat suede is velvety soft wont chew your clothes, cattle suede is rough in drier veg tan it would even be rougher like kitchen scrubber, i only assume horse is too since they are comparable in size and how their grain looks.Couldbean option - a Sheene, or maybe even something like a Premier Halfbelt. Possibly need a pocket on front though to make up for lack of inner pockets. Maybe an unlined, natural Horween Royale.... oh, my...
Good way of showing off a hide without any 'distractions'. Not sure I could live without any pockets as I prefer to have my trouser pocket emptied into the jacket, but I like the look. I'm definitely keen on the idea of an unlined jacket at some point.
The Himel jacket has the leather facings inside, so you could copy the pistol pocket design of the M421, although using leather might result

That would keep the minimalist look of the unlined Kensington, whilst retaining some degree of practicality.
The M421 is a really clever design that way. I wonder has anyone ever produced a leather version?
Saw that too. That would be my „How to speed up my divorce“ jacket. Once I start thinking it might still be worth it, I need to be out of here.
