I think you are right. There are some buckles that don't seem to have any function on the jacket. People just took a glut of surplus pants and found something creative to do with them.
My wife is very supportive of my hobbies (more of a car / gun guy) and lets me run rampant with them. Leather jackets have not crossed the threshold into "hobby" territory (yet) That, and her fashion sense is way better than mine.
Yes- The wife has full veto power. She'll tolerate for a little while, as she did with my German Police motorcycle jacket from a few years ago. That one lasted a whole month but it was far less "busy" than this one.
It doesn't have a label.
Being a child of the 80's. Chess King was the only mall store that came to mind for selling cheap leather jackets at that time.
a pocket on the arm and the position of the arm straps are the only differences I notice from photo of the Swedish jacket . It's definitely not as old as that one.
