Dude, they're worth reading. I know, because I wrote them. :)

Yes, and if you've ever bought a jacket, then you'll understand what I mean. If you plan on wearing a t-shirt or undershirt underneath a cafe racer, then it should feel tight when you zip it up. Similarly, if you wear a suit under a leather long coat, the coat should hug the suit which should hug your body, so that when it's buttoned up there are no bulges or anything to screw with the drape. Leather is very unforgiving when it comes to the drape because of the density of material, which is why leather coats that are too large look awful (and if it's glossy leather than it looks like those Glad garbage bags).

The jacket fits well, but the man has a bit of a beer gut. These things happen at that age, don't they?

Don't worry about that other Anon. I have to be up right now, so if you have questions, I'll be happy to answer them. Are you OP?

Perhaps you misunderstand the purpose of my post. Don't think of the flag as a flag, with all the political and historical associations. Think of it as a colour scheme or a textural difference. The point of the photos was to point out the use of blue, which is only hinted at in the colour scheme (in the antiqued red bits, it's dark towards black which could be misinterpreted by the eye as a bluish, purple tint), as well as how well it pops against the rest of the piece.

I understand it's possible to take things a little too figuratively, but really...just look at it as a bunch of pieces of leather stitched together, with different colours and a patch on the left shoulder. That changes your perspective immediately.

Thank you! Incidentally, this is one of the most comfortable jackets I've ever owned, especially for sitting down to a relaxing evening. I've never felt so comfy...and those who were concerned about the hood being 'too large'...well, it's actually on the 'small' side if you are looking for a traveling cloak style hood, which must be larger. This one is just large enough to cover the head without slipping off in the rain...but there isn't room for error. For my head, it's fucking perfect. But I think I've said that about this jacket in general so often that people might think I'm making it up.

It's tough to help people understand how hard it is to find a jacket that works for them, in terms of aesthetic, fit, and everything. This one just nails it.

Here's a pic without a flash, so you can get a better idea of the 'real' colours. It's very attractive in person....a kind of 'burnt' blood red. And it smells nice too...
