help dating leather pseudo-motorcycle jacket

[laurenm]

Hello all,
Wondering if this is from the 90s? or 80s?
Sorry, forgot to get shot of the label....it's pretty age-defying....but will get shot tomorrow if necessary.
Thanks alot for any assistance.

I vote '80s. Nice styling - is that snow or rain?

Thanks Nicole....it is Snow! I asked a friend to step outside with my model and they hesitated because it was starting to snow....I said to just take some quick shots as I wanted them for dating....nice surprise how the snowdrops trajectory got caught in the shutter speed!

I'd like to see more details, labels etc. as the zip tags look newer to me.

I think its really early 80 - 80-82. It looks to me like the retro-50s motorcycle jackets they were making for punkers and punk wannabes. That belt is unusual and something I don't associate with the most typical black leather jackets in the 80s (82-88), which is why I think this might be earlier - because its a more academic revival - with the belt and nipped in back. It's in great condition.
