Thanks man! It’s a short jacket so the 2-way zip is mainly for show here, but I like how it can change how the jacket looks and wears.
I think that is exactly why Theodoros put in a 2-way zipper into this jacket. That look. That is why you often want the last button undone on a trucker. I am so impressed with Thedi.

Hope they go deep into October so I can wear my jacket properly (outdoors).

This one is unlabeled, but the zipper and snaps date it to the 1950s. Possibly a Monarch, certainly a precursor to the Highwayman style jacket. Oldie but goodie.

I bet it’s a monarch. Perfect too. One more inch or two on that P2P and it woulda been mine. Jacket sat a long time on eBay. Crazy as the price was stupid low. Glad you got it so I can look at it here.

Hope you find it, there was another one in Japan. The leather is good enough for riding, this is a modern size 38 and weighs 6 lbs, so the heft is there. The simple cut makes it good for off the bike, too.

Buck Mason lamb skin : soft & smooth
Aero Vincenza HH: little rigid & slightly shiny.
Schott 613S steer hide: soft enough & sturdy. So far my favorite
