The first shot is darn near perfect as an image. Appears more editorial than catalog, but well done. The only small negative is the models left hand. I can't quite see what he is holding (if anything) but his hand has a bit of a claw shape which is a little distracting to my eye.
So many commercial options for that image going well beyond just the jacket, so well done.
The second shot is very catalog in style. The lighting is just a smidge flat on the jacket but not overly so. The one bright spot on the leading edge of the tank and spilling onto the headlight is drawing the eye a bit.
Not so sure those jackets are "retro", but I really like number one. Personally, I wish that white blob/object in the background, behind the handlebar, wasn't there.
Agree with the comments of previous posters ... both + and -.
An additional minus (for me) - easily rectified? - is that I think the window in 2 could be aligned a bit better with frame edges?
Great lighting in both. Love the first one. The second one doesn't work for me because of her round baby face, and her messed up hair. It shouldn't be so windy inside a garage.

An "accurate" reproduction of a scene and a good photograph are often two different things.

I am going to the Golden Gate Bridge this afternoon with all my camera gear and am going to jump off and end my agony.
