Just went out for a photoshoot with this Freewheelers Four Corners I'll try to write a review on this one. (yes, I was sweating in the second pic LOL)

I really like this one. Love the big flap pocket on the chest. Way back in the 90s I used to wear a wide-lapelled, black leather blazer that was my Dad's; in my crowd we thought I looked well Carlito. Still have it in the wardrobe, though I'm far too big to wear it at present. I've moved away from that style since, and for a long time avoided that middle length between a short leather and a trenchcoat type, but in the last couple of years this sort of blazer-length, work-jacket in leather has really started to appeal to me. This is a particularly nice example.

I'm the very lucky recipient of the @ton312 giveaway of this gorgeous Custom Coat Co. Deerskin bomber...lovely coat and a nice fit on me! Such a classy guy, and generous act.

Jacket looks superb man! If it fit me that well I’d have kept it:D
Truthfully, I gifted it b/c it came as a gift to me. And so the spirt of the lounge survives another day. I’m proud to be a part of it! Looks good on ya brother. Wear in good health

No rudeness intended

There is a joke amongst Professional Photographers which parallels this

'If you have a great meal do you ask chief which Oven they cooked it in?'

I can't really speak to cooking, but if I had a good meal, and was also a chef, I might ask..? Or more analogous, ask the size of oven and temperature used etc. As a photographer (which I can speak to), I am sometimes curious as to the gear used by another. And as was posted, it isn't necessarily the brand, but "camera/lens combo" i.e. the frame size, max f/ of lens etc. or was it a phone camera? Things good to know if you're trying to achieve a look or effect you see in another's work and improve your own knowledge and skill. And of course, always compliment the photos themselves, as the commenter did. My 2¢.
