First one I've ever seen. Wonder why nobody thought of that before.

Why - so you can feel like a dashing WW2 hero... while you're washing the dishes?

John Chapman would say it is an abomination. I would have to agree with him.

It's rare. Nuff said.

I sincerely hope it stays rare too If I never see another one it will be too soon!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Fanch]

Not my cup of tea either.

I think thankfully it's rare for a very simple reason, it's absolutely, bloody awful!

Short sleeves on a leather jacket are just impossibly ridiculous. (Spare Eddie Murphy in BH cop 1&2 but even then he just pushed up long sleeves). There is absolutely no way to justify why such a thing has any reason to exist. Aesthically and functionally useless.

 

[Harris HTM]

A monstrosity.

 

[Fanch]

Maybe we should take a poll to see what percentage of TFL members would actually set fire to the "A-2" on arrival.

Burn baby burn......

Where are the knit cuffs?

Where are the knit cuffs?

In the bin.

 

[ButteMT61]

In the bin.

More likely the side-warmer pockets

I think there is a VERY clear reason why this is the only one anybody has ever seen.....
