This is from FaceAche. Who here has a jacket like this? Let's see your one.

Not me, I would be surprised if I could lift it let alone put it on.

Nice jacket, shame about the badges .......

And they are mostly very modern badges so obviously a wanna be bike

From what I'm seeing in the news, today is not the day to wear it in the UK. Nevertheless, stay cool.

You are right. We have a forecast of a possible 42°C, (107°F) in certain areas. How's your weather?

[RichardL]

High 80s. Feels like 94. Sorry.

@slighthitchmitch - I have a black   Lewis Leathers jacket that I think was called Phantom when I bought it almost 50 years ago. It still fits! Or maybe that should read ‘I still fit it’.
It’s very like the style in your picture. A friend had/has a blue one.

All a bit of a *ank in my opinion. If you need a good cheap jacket just go to Aldi !!!

As an important aside, leather jackets exist as an important safety device along with boots, gloves, helmets, spine protection etc.

Always feel uneasy watching the guys 'n girls on their scooters in places like the south of France.  Helmet, tee shirt, shorts and biblical sandals is the almost universal garb. Presumably they've never come off a bike .......
Couple of years ago I hired a kart in southern Spain and asked for a pair of gloves. They didn't have any ...
