The zip runs off centre because a motorcycle jacket was designed to be leaned forward in - a central closure would press straight into the sternum, so it was moved to the side and it has stayed there ever since.

Everything else on this one is original too: notched lapels with snap tabs to hold them flat at speed, epaulettes at the shoulder, a zipped pocket on each side with a flapped one between them, and a belt buckled across the hem. The body is cropped short and the faux leather has a lived-in surface rather than a flat new one.

Nothing about the design has changed in ninety years, which is either a failure of imagination or a sign it was right the first time.
