No epaulettes IMO. The jacket's busy enough with the pockets and belt and just doesn't need them.
I hope Revenue Canada gives you everything you're due …!

That is one serious jacket you there. That's a man's jacket alright! Looks particularly sensational from the back. You must be over the moon with it … it's worn in beautifully.

Thanks for the kind words, guys :) I absolutely adore this jacket, it's definitely a statement. It's funny how quickly the FQHH gains some dramatic creases; I feel like I've hardly worn this jacket but the sleeves and back say otherwise. The jacket still needs a lot of breaking in, though. And that's hard to do when you're smitten with 3 other jackets. Breaking in a leather jacket is a lot easier when you just have the one, and wear it every day (even around the house).

Thanks man. Maybe you should consider two-tone ;) did you ever end up getting that 641?

No 641, ended up grabbing a 141 for a decent price. I have a Johnson leather and a vanson chopper hopefully coming soon.

I really like your two tone but with a black chopper and 141, overdye Johnson. i would like my next to be brown.

Thanks, gents! Still don't think you can pull this one off, Ivan? ;)

I'm currently banned from the straight black Perfecto style altogether, let alone for one that's even more extravagant (in a good way). Two tone cafe racer, though... :)

Are you trying to vary your own collection, or is this under the declaration of a Higher Power? (I have one of those that mutters darkly on occasion about my shoe habit.... :lol: ).

Higher power, one that cannot be bargained nor reasoned with. lol

Just thought of another epaulette question, does anyone know if the studs placed near the shoulder help keep the epaulettes from bridging?
