After a cursory viewing of these vintage photos of people wearing leather jackets, I'm left to believe that it's rarely combined with the wearing of a hat like a fedora, homburg, or derby. Just an observation.
Some of those hair-dos took hours to sculpt. A hat was unthinkable.

^ Oh that's a great photo, do you know the date? Looks like the guy in the shearing is wearing LL Bean moccs or maybe Topsiders, but not sure when those were designed so maybe not... very weird.

I just love those WW2 aviator era caps with the long, soft brim. Papa Nui makes a nice repro these days.
