maybe the costume department tapered the waist a little bit to give more exaggerated strong hero look as the also remove the liner , I can't imagine leather jacket company aimed to normal people would make a pattern where the back hem would be so tight it stuck above the wearer pants belt line, while the upper part fit quite freely even on young marlon brando, it would limit market segment that would fit into it, but alteration for movie, or newer versions after the movie became a hit would make sense as then young people perhaps wanted to get the same look
Falsch gedacht. Das war eine Jacke, die für das Motorradfahren gedacht gewesen istSie mußte deshalb an der Taille eng anschließen um Schutz zu bieten. Es waren keine Frezeitjacken wie heute.

Think again. That was a jacket designed for motorcycling; it had to fit snugly at the waist to provide protection. They weren't casual jackets like the ones we have today.

If I were to get one, I'd go with the plain version of course. I think the painted ones are perhaps wearable in Europe and Japan by Americana enthusiasts, but in Britain or America it would look odd except at some kind of costume convention.
In Deutschland auch, hätte was von Karneval ! Käme nicht cool, eher doof
