Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

I noticed that too. Interestingly enough, LL don´t seem to be too sure about the exact origin as well. They just say, the patch is
"a faithful remake of this 1960's Tiger’s head patch. As seen on jackets worn by Rockers during the 60's and 70's and even on Frank-N-Furter’s jacket in The Rocky Horror Picture Show."
Apparently, they found it cool and decided to repro it without a deep-dive into heritage etc.:)

It's possible noone knows! I know for a fact, though, they've had a fair few RHPS hardcore from all over the globe pass through the shop over the years to find the 'right' jacket and looking for badges and patches. I have a box somewhere for when I one day manage to pick up the right jacket... Some of those patches are very difficult to find now, others reproduced. (The most elusive being the "Hell's Angels" one, for obvious reasons.) I would be kindaway tempted to put one of those tigers on another jacket as a reference point without going full on costume...

I think this is a woman’s jacket but it’s insanely cool and I would wear this in a heartbeat in my size.

Well, you would wear it until somebody directed you to that weird “pigeon, sodomized by a star-spangled spear” imagery.

I had a cool (or so I thought) pair of faded black jeans ages ago. They had embroidered tonal eagles all over it. Until some gal pointed out that my eagles were in fact ducks. They were, and I couldn’t unsee after that.

So I got to thinkin . . . I often come across photos of cool jackets owned by others, and I struggle to find an appropriate thread to post the photos. Sometimes there is a brand specific thread, but other times there is not. Sometimes I am forced to start a thread for a particular jacket, solely to share the photo, even though the photo probably does not warrant a thread of its own. So, I figured its time that we have a depository for all the random photos we come across depicting cool jackets that we would like to share with our TFL brothers and sisters, so that we don't have countless individual threads for individual jacket photos. In other words, we should have a jacket porn thread (I elected to exercise a modicum of decorum and leave "porn" off the thread title).

Here are a few random photos I came across today:

Thanks @Mich486 . Great looking jacket, BUT . . . insanely short in back. Check out the HUGE drop from the front length to the back length:

View attachment 325397

That drop looks to be over 3 inches. Front length is fine but look how short the jacket is in back.

Oh well, another jacket candidate bites the dust.
Not so fast!

^^ The above guys pants are hanging around his knees.

This is how it should be worn.

@Marc mndt is right; That's just a ridiculous way to showcase this jacket. Not to wear it, of course, but positively stupid to advertise it like that as not eveyone will understand right away that the dude is wearing his jeans quite literally down half his ass.
It's clear otherwise that the half-belt falls right at the wearers waist, where it should be, with the hem ending a good two inches below belt line. I wouldn't even call it a particularly short jacket, too.
