I'm not a rider but I love their jackets! I have an olive cafe racer of theirs and I've got a second-hand blue crosszip that I'm expecting to receive next week - the numbers look good so I'm really hoping it fits wellKadoya makes good riding gear

Very nice! Looks like the Victory horsehide that Bill Kelso used.Stunning repro jacket by The Few, currently on Yahoo JP

to store nunchuksReally like the look of this one
Are the rear zippers used for waist adjustment or some other purpose?

Another Ramones post, since I just got the album that released yesterday (Pleasant Dreams before the overproduction). I noticed that the record sleeve had a great shot by Michael Somoroff, with a great view of their jackets. Unfortunately it looks very washed out when I scan it; the actual record sleeve has much richer tones and a darker cast.

This would be early 1981. Johnny is still in his original (pre Ramones) Perfecto, Marky is in a Lewis that seems to be a cross between a Monza with a shirt collar(@Edward you'd probably know what this is), Joey is in a Perfecto rather than the Lightning or Bronx he'd been wearing in the late 70s but it's not the removable belt CHP type model he was seen in later in the 80s, Dee Dee seems to also be in his first Perfecto. (You can tell by the epaulette zips and the mitered buckle. The jackets they'd get later to help with stage rotations were the 418, a cheaper version of the 618, and being 80s models they no longer had the mitered buckle. 418s would be worn by everyone except, as far as I know, Joey–possibly because by that later point he'd discovered Vanson and was ordering jackets long enough for his frame.)
It’s not the 402. If you look at his shoulders and upper arms there’s a good amount of padding. This is also worn in another photo of Marky from around the same time. (The one in which they’re wearing striped t-shirts standing on a street; I believe that one was taken a bit later.)
Mad Max Kadoya.
Here's the link if anyone is interested is seeing the rest of the pictures.

I thought there was at first, then I wasn't sure.... if there's padding there, then it's the Star Lightning, and must have been his second one.... maybe he bought one of each...
This is the same one. View attachment 510982
Ah! That's a clearer shot. That's no Lightning. Not sure what it is, though... If it is a Lewis, it's not one I've seen.
