    Californian 1940’s cross zip half belt sz 40

    California Sportswear cross zip half belt in a solid sz 40. Made a new quilted liner from scratch using the correct original acetate material. Also completely refined all of the pockets as they tend to be dirty/nasty after 80 yrs.. really solid jacket! Would date it to mid/late 40’s by the Talon...

    Unknown maker vintage jacket for sale

    Not sure what this one is, label was missing. This has to be one of the oddest constructed jackets I’ve had in here in recent memory. I think much has to do with how thick the leather is. It’s heavy duty, probably 3.5-4 oz, or “lost worlds thick” for those familiar with that brand. Even the...

    Steerhide coat/jacket sz 44/46

    Made this one a few yrs ago testing out some materials/procedures. It’s very soft, top grain steer, 2.5-3oz weight. Liner is a vintage cotton backed with a layer of polartec fleece. It’s a very warm jacket with the fleece backed lining. I would put it in the same range as my B-2. I think in all...

    USN Werber 7823(aer) G-1

    Werber 7823(aer) G-1. Tagged size 46, but fits more like a 42. This one was reconfigured at some time, assuming by the navy as I have seen two others done in an identical manner with new liner, cotton stamped size tag in place of spec tag & with the same blackened brass pull on nickel Waldes...

    Vintage 60’s Cafe jacket sz 46

    vintage from the 60’s. Not sure who made it as tag was missing. I replaced the quilted liner & added one of my old Hercules tags. Would make a nice cheap knock around jacket. Asking $100 + actual shipping. Tagged size 46, but with the quilted liner, would say it is a better fit for a 44.

    For sale: Repro A-2

    I recently had an original Aero 21996 in for some restoration work & had to dye/age/match so new panels to the originals. I assume due to the finishing techniques used on this contract, most originals I have handled tend to have a unique “orangy” tone to the russet that shows thru when the seal...

    Who Made it?

    I know civvy jackets are a crapshoot as far as identfication, but never hurts to ask. Picked this as a resto project for $30 & was curious if anyone can ID who might have been the manufacturer. I'm hoping something might be in the pockets that will give a clue when I have it in hand. Couldn't...
