Looks a tad on the warm side, though!!

I think the really fascinating aspect of this is, it's 1964 and he's presumably bucking a trend.  I'm not sure, Elvis excepted, how many guys had been seen in a Baracuta - not even McQueen or Sinatra at this point, possibly.  And the hair!  More unfortunate, then, than it had to be that he threw it all away to become a complete tosser in every possible way: flower child, junkie, supporter of Enoch Powell (or something of the sort, at any rate he got up people's noses for all time for one or two daft remarks) and third runner-up in the 'geography teacher lookalike' competition. 
But the 'off-duty astronaut' comment is superb.  Anyone seen Caan and the great Robert Duvall in 'Countdown'?  I managed about five minutes of it before getting fidgety, so I've no first-hand idea of the clobber they're wearing; but the snippets from 'Soul Stylists' have always stuck in my head and maybe contributed, on blustery March days, to my 'USAAF officer' look, with the severe hair, button-down, mac and cordovan wingtips.  It's a 'sour mood' look that gets young mothers removing their toddlers from your path...  LOL!!

It's a "Harrington", but it doesn't seem to be a Baracuta Eric is wearing there. Judging by the non elasticated cuffs and the elasticated waist bits it's neither a G4 nor a G9. Could be any old "golfing jacket" no?

Anyhoo, it's a strong look.

That third shot down - Weller as hard mod?  No, I'm not being facetious.  Was that the image Clapton was trying to get over?

Chris_H has a great story about this album sleeve - Ask him.

Just to be contrary I'd say that Clapton's jacket IS a Baracuta - though obviously I can't prove this. The 'acutely' (?) slanted collar (and cuffs) are identical to a vintage Baracuta windcheater that a friend of mine had in the 80's. God knows i coverted that jacket. No idea of its style 'refererence', visibly not a G4 or a G9. I lost out to an identical one on Ebay a few months back which had a load of really detailed photos as part of the auction listing but had been posted in such a way that I couldn't copy them. Shame, as I would have definitely posted them up on the board if I had. Think RS is right about the astronaut bit circa '64 although the American Mercury astronauts had toured the world in 1963 as folk heroes appearing on tv shows, magazine front covers and the like. Their image was fairly widespread. In Japan, Rolex even issued a "Space Dweller" wristwatch in incredibly limited numbers to coincide with the astronauts' press conference in the country. Another thing on my "money no object" wish list!

Aye.

Interesting input StaceyMan. I bet you're right!

Eric has some kind of turned back cuff thing going on too, No?
