Are sleeves that are 3" too short the fashion now?
Looks like it took elements from 3-4 jackets and made one ugly one. Nicely done if you also wear skinny man jeans and 16" boots - unlaced of course :lol:

That one I like. Would like to see someone wearing it though first. Might make a great riding jacket!

Lewis Leathers make a similar design -

I like John's jacket but not the fashion garment. The orange hood adds nothing to the vintage style design IMO.

 

[ButteMT61]

Agreed. John's is bad ass. I now wish I had got the same lining in my sleeves on my Aero 50's HBD. Even the purple looks great!

John, yes; Nigel, nope.

Do you still have the helmet and jet pack that goes with the jacket? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: great looking I must say.

Seriously though, Will tells me it's a popular seller in Germany and the US where they often ask for side entry pockets....

Is that the top half of the "Universal Racer" suit that they are reproducing? It looks very nice.

Handsome jacket John!

John's jacket looks great, and has nice classic details and styling. I bet it will look great after lots of wear.

I'm not sure what to say about the 'Coastal Commander' jacket though. I'm planning on making a repro Coastal Command Irvin myself later this year, but not sure if I can top this one

Cheers,

Jon

The pics are of the jacket when new. It has changed since then!

It looks really cool!!!

It looks really cool!!!

John's jacket certainly does, but the other garmet does not.

I love John's jacket. Would look great on a vintage bike! The B-7/Irvin mongrel... not so much.

Great jacket John!

This looks similar in terms of the front, but differs in some important ways. The flap is not an integrated part of the collar and the cuffs and waist are knits. Not the same quality either. On the other hand, the price is right.
