Leather 40's French Army motorcycle jacket

This jkt was made last year.
If say normal half belt jkt or Cossack is of difficulty 5 to make, this one is over 9.
I have tried to make it exactly the same as the original, only make it in leather.
This is the earlier version which is wooden button. Later version is dark olive plastic buttons

You continuously come up with some unbelievable vintage repros . While I don’t think this jacket would be for me, I’m still amazed at your detailed skill in making this one.

As mentioned above, not my style but nonetheless very interesting. Your talents are admired.

Will have to check my references at home. I think these were also worn by the French Commandos with the tanker helmets in North Africa. There could be a market for these!
