What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

This one might go under the knife depending on how it fits her. The leather is so nice! It’s the first time i haven’t had the urge to condition a jacket straight away.

These Fidelity “IR” jackets are awesome. They seem to fit well on many different body-types.

Is this Photoshop to show how it will age or is this panel mismatch for real?

Wasn't Buco J-100 a precursor of the modern cafe racer jacket? Or were there earlier ones and the Buco is popular because it took on a certain mystique?

There were much earlier ones. If I am not mistaken, the style as we know it appeared some 20 years before Buco.

I believe Buco is became popular after Rin Tanaka declared the J-24 to be the best jacket ever, the hype automatically spilling over to anything branded Buco (happened around the time the cafe racer was also super trendy among Hollywood stars, too) but I honestly never heard anything about the J-100 having any influence on a cafe racer style, ever.
