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...

Probably the best looking jacket I've seen so far, just amazing. Nothing beats a BR.

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

That jacket looks really fun, and I mean that in a good way. Would definitely wear it.

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.

LOOL!! You killed it man. You killed it.

Too pricy for the finds and deals section, but nevertheless super cool.

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:

Paul was the coolest. Always looked killer. Still looks amazing in his older age.

I was going through some old threads and came across TM's collection of Block Bilt photos. I think I found my new favorite cross-zip CHP.

Freewheelers.

Upper sleeves look a bit wide, but otherwise it's a beautiful design.

^ That is a great looking jacket. It looks similar to the new Rebels, but its not. Where did you find that @Marc mndt ? Does anyone know the model name?

I thought this was the Rebels. Is it not?

Never mind, just saw Mich's post.

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

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.
