Love the responsiveness of the RMC team.

JL killed it. Love the elbow patch.

Since it is already hitting 90s here in South Florida, I will be treating you guys to some blasts from the past. Kit Karson.

Somebody grab it, the wait must be 10 years by now! ;)

Was YKK around in 1940s? Seller says original YKK zippers.

Aw, come on, there is a Best Offer option.

He is pondering the recent TSLA price action and competition from BYD.

Kudos to bartenders for keeping this thread open. You are the best in the business.

ID will be tough because this maker, for some reason, never used labels. The bit about the fur in cuffs is interesting. My bet is a small maker of custom cop jackets from the 50s. But no badge holders. A mystery. Not sure it is a Monarch, tbh.

Yes. The leather protector strip in the neck area is one of the distinguishing features of these jackets. None of them (and I have seen maybe five) has a label

That is old school. Love it.

Yep, monster grain on this one. Seller even included a page from Rin Tanaka's book; says value is $600-800. It isn't, but is a solid $300, give or take. Paging @jeo , might be his size, but I suspect he is not big on CRs either.

Seller offered me this jacket for $225. Might take $200. This is close to a screaming deal category for a white label HD Sportster CR.

The Henry Ford method of color selection...;) I also have mostly black, with one exception. Online pics show that Blackrock darkens natural-colored hides one shade, to beautiful russet color. Handymike is onto something, as usual. Looks like very good stuff.
