Japanese speaker needed - who made this crazy jacket?

[Paul T]

This is from an insane, but intriguing, article in a Japanese photo mag, which details how you can dress as your fave photographer.

Now, most of the ones they featured were frankly dressed like nerds, but Robert Capa - the dude who photoraphed the landings on Omaha and squired Ingrid Bergman - wore one tasty jacket. Any idea what the modern equivalent, being worn by 'the model', is??

Translation: Goretax Camera-man Jacket (52,000 yen) - Consultation items (sankou shouhin)

The article states that the coordinated look was done by Mori Kazuyasu director of 'Dressterior' boutique.

Here is a list of it's stores: http://www.world.co.jp/brand/lineup/dress.html

Capa was the man but the model looks like a complete dork and his gear is too new looking, plus the photographer\makeup artist\lightning dude made him look like an action figure.

Paul: this jacket does have some great potential though, if you end up getting it you'll have to roll around in mud and gravel a little to add some "Capa credibility"

it really looks so much like belstaff, but i don't think it's what it is. same kind of jacket however

so what the fuck is so amazing abou it?????????

It does look like a Belstaff, but Belstaffs don't come in that sand colour or have epaulettes. It's possible it could be a Belstaff aviator, which means you run the risk of looking like Leonardo diCaprio.

ive got a vintage cable car cloithers jacket that looks just like that, except its a bit lighter colored and the pockets dont stick out like that

denim is the new crack

[werdtoyourmoms]

the pockets are sticking out because there's probably stuff in them.

Looks like a Belstaff or Barbour jacket IMO. There are older models (not the Trialmaster series) that look almost exactly like the jacket pictured, and they were also produced in tan or khaki. I'm not certain but I'm pretty sure they (Belstaff) did a reproduction version as part of their "Black Prince" series which looked pretty close to the jacket pictured, only with numerous patches.
