One of my favorite episodes of The Andy Griffith Show featured Barney in a great leather MC jacket - wish I could find better stills of the jacket.

I was was channel surfing and saw a 1951 movie "Lightning Strikes Twice" listed with a description that sounded interesting to me so I recorded it. Low and behold an uncredited Frank Caddy--who played Sam Drucker in Petticoat Junction/Green Acres show up in a scene as a Gas Station Attendant in a killer leather jacket. Looks to be some sort of a wide-lapeled 1/2 belt type (I don't know jackets well). Now I want one haha. I snapped a couple of screen shots so the quality is iffy, but....

I'm surprised they didn't cast Barney in "The Wild One". He would have been perfect in Johnnys' gang. (LOL).One of my favorite episodes of The Andy Griffith Show featured Barney in a great leather MC jacket - wish I could find better stills of the jacket.

Not a photo (though he largely painted off photos he took), but a Norman Rockwell, "The Big Decision":

EDIT: Here's another interesting pic, with what appears to be a full-auto conversion of a .45 automatic:

Great pics, everyone. I'm intrigued by the full-auto 1911 and I particularly like John Candy's police jacket.
Regarding non-military photos, it's surprising to me how many men (apparently) wore short leather jackets as daily drivers.
