Montgomery Ward (Windward) Motorcycle Jacket History 1947-1963
An interesting find on MW leather jackets in general: A combined Brent and Windward label. Credit goes to @Claybertrand, who first noticed this, in the Find and Deals thread: Some more pics of the jacket, recently sold on ebay for a very good price to a TFL member- EAC

J.C.Penney (Sportclad) Motorcycle Jacket History 1947-1963
I recently found out (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JCPenney#First_Half_of_Twentieth_Century) that JC Penney issued its first catalog in 1963, so the following one is the first (and only) MC-related, thread-relevant catalog page we have available: There were JCP ads on Life magazine starting...- EAC

Montgomery Ward (Windward) Motorcycle Jacket History 1947-1963
Fall/Winter 1941-42, part of the Windward section; Admiral Byrd is mentioned as well: Interestingly, not all leather jackets are in the Windward section; some cossack-style ones, referred to as 'Windward quality' in their description, appear a page before the Windwards, together with cheaper...- EAC

Footwear to go with our jackets
Now that I look more closely, is that a cowboy boot-like decorative stitching i see? Also, if they're not new, do you know how old these are?- EAC

Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition
I Agree. I have heard/read from quite a few people (Dinerman included) that ebay is particularly punishing towards sellers and some buyers can be really thick and act all entitled when the blame is actually on them (not properly checking the posted measurements/reading the description/looking at...- EAC

Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition
I think that guy's main fear is the association of the black leather jacket with Marlon Brando in The Wild One and bikers in general or with music stars like the Ramones. He does not want people to look at him and think of those characters. That's not a biker jacket, but, as far as I know...- EAC

Sears Motorcylce Jacket History 1949-1963
It indeed does look similar, but there are a couple of details that differ: in the vest, the cigarette pocket has a more squared shape and the epaulettes have an X-shaped stitching pattern, identical to the Appalachian you just posted. Earlier in this thread, tmitchell59 came to the the...- EAC

Sears Motorcylce Jacket History 1949-1963
Since there was a bit of discussing about these specific variation of Sears MC jacket, I think it would be interesting to add Dinerman's words on the matter (reported after the pics). Appalachian made 50s D-pocket (source...- EAC

As far as I have understood, they sell online and ship internationally. The order is placed either by phone call or e-mail. I have never been to the RRL store, nor I have purchased vintage from them, but I have heard (and I agree now after looking at the online offer, which I am pretty sure is...- EAC

Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition
Pictured is the wool liner of a MC jacket tmitchell59 sold here; you can see the lateral seams: I wouldn't use the presence of seams as a mark of inauthenticity. But the guys at RL could have done a very good job relining it. It not unusual for the sleeve lining to be made of a different...- EAC
