Jackets like this one are why i buy vintage.
Utilitarian elegance that stands the test of time.
I love MCs et al., plethora hides in contemporary retro-styles and glove soft clingers but give me that old-time rock and roll.....and i will.
Great post, you do fedoras right too!!

I have a soft spot for those vintage Schott suede Type 3 trucker jackets...especially since the sleeves are a bit longer than the vintage Levis equivalent. And the suede is soft, thick and heavy. I just got this one in- in the rare sand color.

I had one of those. Fantastic jacket. Much better than I'd ever expected it to be, if I only saw images of it. I wish I didn't sell it but then again, I'm really not much of a fan of suede.
