Thanks. It's a Ralph Lauren Purple Label I bought a couple of years ago. I only wore it a handful of times because I didn't have proper pants to go with it. Now that I have these FW aviator pants I can wear the jacket more oftenWhere did that come from? Ace jacket, and perfect fit!

Outstanding
That's a cool and similar fit. I like it. Gives off Joey Ramone vibes which I had hoped mine would too. Guess I'll hang on to hope.I would at least give it a shot for a while. Jacket looks terrific on you, just as you say, the sleeve a bit short (1.5 - 2"). But the rest of it is so perfect! Wear it under another one for a while, use it, enjoy it, I like that jacket. I also had a "Jimbo" lately that I finally gave to a consignment shop to sell, but darn if it wasn't one of my favorites - just with 2" too short of sleeves, and a little sort in the torso...

Thanks I like the wristband idea. And or a watch maybe. Btw love the jacket you made and designed. That must be some thick leather.I think for whatever reason in your personal style your shortish sleeve works, perhaps just wear a simple leather wristband or something around the smallest part of your wrist.
Cheers, I'm planning on wearing it at a performance with my band. Hopefully I pull it off. Or perhaps "leave it on" is more appropriate in this context.I'm not a fan of short sleeves at all, but it looks really cool on you. It has a bit of a rock star attitude. I'd say you can wear it.

For a minute I thought maybe this was the one that popped up on eBay this past week, but I just checked and see that one is still available. Interesting to see a couple of these old UPS workwear uniforms show up in the span of a week.Vintage Caleb V Smith & Son gabardine weave jacket. Cateye buttons with hidden placket.

Beautiful brown gabardine weave that has a golden shimmer in the light.

I like the Shires but miss my time over that way.I've been living in Somerset for just over a year and finally made it down to Wells with my Schott Perfecto. Not much of a jacket pic, but absolutely stunned by the beauty of Wells. Just look at this effing Cathedral!!

Hey it's for sale locally and I could pull it back from the shop it's at., But it is more like a "42".That's a cool and similar fit. I like it. Gives off Joey Ramone vibes which I had hoped mine would too. Guess I'll hang on to hope.
Leather looks really nice on this jacket. Don't see a ton of Trophy here, do they make their own jackets or is the work done OEM?You guys are probably tired of it but I got the hummingbird on again today.
Something about the extra thick, dense horsehide and the drape and fit it creates just ends up feeling extra 'leather jacket' to me.

you really pull of hitman lookA bit of a cold snap here in the UK this week has meant it was -2° for my walk this morning, so I layered up under my (yawn!) M65 with a thermal base layer and a quilted liner vest.
I'd love this jacket to look like it has a bit of wear on it, but even though I'm putting plenty of wear on it* it just doesn't.

*literally every day since I got it. It shrugs off everything.
I’ve had this one for well over a year. Caught at a bargain price of $24.99. Can’t beat a deal like that for such a cool gabardine jacket.For a minute I thought maybe this was the one that popped up on eBay this past week, but I just checked and see that one is still available.

I‘m a big fan of G1 jackets, but after 22 years in the military, seeing all of those open pockets and loose neck strap is making my eyes twitch… LOL!View attachment 566276
