Mike Wolfe from American Pickers has an awesome leather jacket. He's always wearing it in the show, and it seems to look better the more beat up and scratched it gets. This is the only decent photo I could Google on it. But its awesome nonetheless, and I'd love to know who made it.

Looking back, it looks damn similar to Gnatty's jacket.

Is that a Bullmastiff? When he drools on your jacket it'll help it break in!

It is! It was a very cool dog. Last week I was in Charleston SC and there was a MASSIVE male Bullmastiff about 100lbs heavier than this one pictured. It was the biggest dog I've ever seen.

They are serious dogs - great w/the right owner. Is he yours?

Thanks, Bull - I think I'm keeping it. Apparently you have more than leather on your mind.

It´s similar to a Belstaff Panther, it looks heavier, but it isn´t.

Here's a shot of it the same day, buttoned up. I don't have an issue with how it fits on the shoulders, but there's a total of 4 inches of material around the waist of the jacket that can be taken in, according to the guy I have doing the leather work and dye job. As well, perhaps a few inches around the chest. It just feels and looks like I have a barrel hanging off of me.


simple. it's a size too big for you. the chest and body are visibly way too large. the droopy shoulders are just more confirmation of that.

there is a lot of white space between this fit and a skin-tight guido look.
