this was one of the reason you need to have kids those days.. to help set the mirrors, before and mid travel.
Fyi - here are shots of my (custom) Super Sportsman jackets in case it helps - I narrowed the shoulders slightly for these and shortened the sleeves and body by 2 inches.
The are so cool.
..and here is a shot of a Super Phantom base model in standard horsehide taken in the shop - more V shaped than the Sportsman but it was too long in the body and sleeves for my tastes.
That is such a great jacket! I think it is my favourite LL combo of all in terms of hide and style - great find Marc! My Monza has the same old blue collar lining too - does yours also have the black lining from this era?
This is the much more V shaped I was talking about - the shoulders are very broad relative to the other dimensions and it tapers strongly - its the same in my Monza, but the latter was already a shorter length than the Super Monza, where they went for more coverage via the longer “laid out forward” riding style in the late 70s.
Or vice-versa….
V nice! And brown or black zip tape….?
No idea lol
And the custom
This one has the red quilted lining.
I'm a 36” unfortunately - in the 70s the black lining was quite common, but the red quilting also seemed to be a parallel option - I suspect the black unquilted form was for those who preferred the closest possible fit - the blue collar seems to be a signature feature from those days. These days the black cord seems to be the standard on these models. I went for the traditional red quilted lining on all mine, except the Dominator, where I went for plan red. I will go for the gold sateen lining in the Western blue sheep, when its time finally comes…!
Alden 403 Moc Toe Boot - Brown Chromexcel - $680 The classic "Indy" style Alden Boot in the classic Horween brown Chromexcel. 
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - #395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks. 
Himel Bros. - The Ross Mk. 1 Leather Jacket Classic D-pocket motorcycle/aviator style jacket. Definitely go for the brown tape!
Nice. Looks like construction quality is better as compared to the vintage ones. See how the leather that covers the padding shows its rough edges. On yours it's nicely folded over.
Yes - the middle shot is closest to reality - it is their nicest colour of all imo. I have almost no green in my wardrobe at all, except this jacket and a pair of boots to go with it! It is really special and I would strongly recommend going for it first if you are aiming for a sheep LL.
