This jacket’s designer, Warwick Stone, made three satin versions of this arrows jacket – in red, white and black satin, lighter versions for walking on stage. It was on Stone’s insistence Freddie commissioned a leather version too. According to Stone it was the black satin version rather than this leather arrows jacket which was used in the video for Body Language and on the Hot Space Tour.
