I do like that, it's pretty classy yet when that collar is up totally changes its look and attitude

I've never seen that style with buttons,just zippers,very cool!!!

Very interesting design,could be German or French ? From the leather creasing it looks like some kind of sheep leather.

Got to be American.
The leather is capeskin.

The leather looks thick for Cape,I believe it was a thin leather mainly used for making gloves.

Platon,
Are you going to reproduce this pattern, exactly as it is? If so, I'm in.

Looks like capeskin.

Definitely looks like period capeskin to me (similar in graining, if not colour, to the AN-J-3 that's now with Matt).
Looks well - not so keen on the plethora of zips/pockets, but then it is a bike jacket so it's traditional.

This is 100% capeskin.
Capeskin is less durable than other leathers so they usually produce it thicker to be tougher.

Blockbilt?

Gotta say that really is nice but personally I think it's the ageing that makes it look so good/appealing, not quite sure a 'new' one will be so?
Now if you can give it that 'time worn' finish? Hasn't Mark (Fishmeok) at SFA made something similar too?
cheers

For sure it is Capeskin! I narrowly missed out on winning it about 8 years ago, but was astute enough to have copied the pictures. It's the only one that I regret not going all out for. It's got some really unique subtleties, not least of which is that it is made in Capeskin. Our dear and wonderful Platon is stepping up to the plate to knock it out of the ballpark! We were on the same wavelength when I finally emailed him two months ago to see if he could copy it for me and he informed me that he was already going to do a zippered version. Can't wait for my exact reproduction of this beauty in his fabulous Victory Horse. I believe that I'm numero Uno on the list.

The rest of you will have that painful wait! I would definitely sign up for one if I were you.... in all my years of these vintage jackets, this one keeps popping up in my mind. I already have a few 1930's motorcycle jackets, but this one is a masterpiece in my opinion! Cheers!
