wow interesting jacket, sort of a leather "Ike" jacket

I think it is extremely sharp looking and yes I agree a leather "Ike" jacket.

VERY nice jacket. I particularly like the button-front, collar, nicely scalloped pocket flaps, and no knits to worry about replacing.

so, the guy second on from the right is saying to the guy furthest right, "is that a small gun in yer pocket, or are ya just glad to see me?" nifty jacket, btw.

Pocket knife or tool to look after the pipe... Pipes aren't so much for smoking as much as to have something to fiddle with.

The scene at the end of The Five Armies has a good illustration with Galdalf fussing with his clay pipe.

The leather Ike is pretty cool, I agree.
