Leather Jackets: Post Pictures of the Best You've Seen/Owned?

[Understatesman]

These might singlehandedly be the tiniest little lapels I've ever seen on a band collar double racer jacket. Thanks Yahoo Japan Auctions for turning me onto a whole new world of cuts I didn't even know existed.

i like it

I'd prefer it if the left lapel was 0.125'' wider.

Singlehandedly?

Maybe a couple of marbles.

Also, just noticed: The band collar doesn't even close. No overlapping, no snaps, nada.

And what's with the random snap on the inside of the zip at the waist?

 

[Understatesman]

Hmmm.

I mean, technically this is leather, right?

Isn't that just a variation on the Cafecto?

 

[Understatesman]

^ Well, I mean, it has two little baby snap lapels, is made in lambskin (Cafecto is only steerhide), a different band collar style with no snap closures, a double hemmed waist, no shoulder epaulets, no coin pocket, the lapels are cut away from the band collar and a random snap down near where the front zipper begins.

Other that that, yeah I guess you could say it's a variation...

it has arms and a front and a back. So it's a variation of a everything.

Should I trust a local alterations place to remove these epaulets? Is there a place people send stuff to?
