A long leather jacket offers excellent weather protection. The family heirloom also has years of experience with this.
If you just wear that item of clothing at a trade fair where modern things are the order of the day, then you will fall pretty out of tune. You even get compliments about the jacket that you have now accepted as a family member.
But if you are approached from behind a clothing stand, that is surprising. The exhibitor - and The manager of www.ikwiljas.nl / urban leathers- was surprised.
He knew my coat.
In fact, his father used to make these types of coats, massively shorter, to sell them as a motorcycle jacket.
The exhibitor stood there with a smile and asked if he could take a picture in my coat.
So here it is: The man from Urban Leathers in a jacket about seventy years old.
I had to promise to keep taking good care of it. And - oh yes - I want a coat to (sometimes) also sell vintage items of clothing, but in any case retro leather clothing as well.
