Nicest outfit for me in 2020 so far! Great style, one of my fav leather jacket, outstanding :)
Thank you but that's too high praise! I just like to wear vintage style or vintage in general which I guess matches the jackets we all like.

Gorgeous Coat!

Thank you! This coat is just amazing, I'm fortunate to have found a black one in size 40 and this brown one in size 38 together for less than the price of a new one. I think both will last me all my life to be honest, I have zero need for any other 3/4 coat.

Keeping me warm at 5-10ºC with a lot of wind.

If anyone is curious the flat cap is by Keith Lo bue in Kangaroo leather.

What back length are you looking for? There's for sale on Eastmans own classifieds page but it has a 25.5 back length, which is rather long for the style imo.

That will for sure be too large on me. I believe my ideal back length is anywhere between 22-23" depending on the pattern. Thanks for sharing, didn't know Eastman had that classified ads

Oakbrook MC jacket just arrived. It is a marked size 42 from 61’ or so. And it fits perfectly, which sort of surprised me given its age. (take my word for it, I’m in shorts and a tank top). Such a nice jacket. Lining looks new. Some brown just starting to show in a few higher wear areas. Seam work, stitching, corduroy touches, spot work, etc. are great and set this apart from some of the other 50s-60s jackets I have owned. And @Monitor is spot on about the pattern. Comfortable, form fitting yet not constricting, nice range of motion. Just a comfortable jacket. Not heavy either. Very happy and the jacket met my expectations. To the pics:

Beautiful! Very similar to mine, sans French seams. It'll grow on you more and more. There's a reason why I sooner got rid of my high end stuff and kept that one.

@willyto I agree with others like @58panheadfan that your outfits do always look great and TFL is like made for you and your vintage style! When looking at your posts I hardly dare to wear leather jackets like the Sunset as it matches 100% of your outfits whereas mine not really do!
