    Sears Motorcylce Jacket History 1949-1963

    It doesn't really add, from the historical point of view, to what's already in the thread, but I really like the pic. Wool lined leather label Hercules, belonging to Ethan Newton (@ethandesu on IG):

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    An interesting variation on the leather trucker design. Kinda doubt it's 30s as seller claims (or even 30s design). Brand Lee, size S/M, 180$, seller accepts offers: https://www.ebay.com/itm/304349535755

    Agree with Marc mndt on this one. In the example below (from ericm.vintage on IG), the plaids are mismatched along the center back line, strongly suggesting a seam:

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    Nice, never seen something like this, and I'd like to see more. I think the quality of high fashion products in general is often underestimated; just because a, say, Saint-Laurent, Hérmes, Tom Ford or Ralph Lauren Purple Label jacket is overpriced, it does not necessarily mean it's poorly made...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Disclaimer: I like my jackets to end at the waistline and I hang my pants high; my ideal sleeve length is at the wrist. To me, it fits a little bit tight in the chest area, it might look better with just a t-shirt/lightweight shirt on, elsewhere is fine. I wouldn't have sized up, the jacket...

    Montgomery Ward (Windward) Motorcycle Jacket History 1947-1963

    Ok, this time a real MC jacket. Styled and made in California 40s piece, from ebay: Very similar to the jacket tmitchell59 posted earlier in this thread, but the back is different, and the ebay one is labeled: It looks like this model went through a similar evolution in back design as...

    Taubers of California

    From the pics, the only tag on the jacket is the 'Taubers of California' shown; the seller does not mention the leather type in the description. This is the link to the source page: https://vintage-mushroom.net/?pid=169582437 There's a few more pictures, maybe you can guess the leather from...

    Usually woman's jacket have the zip on the opposite side of the chest with respect to men's. This seems women's. I have seen this type of sizing on boys/girls jacket on vintage examples and catalogs, probably referring to the age. But you are right, measurements suggest a men-sized garment.

    Sears Motorcylce Jacket History 1949-1963

    Not strictly pertinent to the thread, but since the question was asked here, I think this is the best place to answer. 50s Peter's CR (from a japanese website):

    Another exemplar of the elusive 1948 Hercules Type 1, from a japanese website; it is unlabeled, but I think there's no doubt regarding its identity:

    Thanks for sharing all of this, Claybertrand! Though not a TFL sage, I'll give my 2 cents. Dinerman wrote a history of Albert Richard here: https://vintagehaberdashers.com/2015/11/05/1930s-albert-richard-grizzly-jacket-2/ I report it: ''Fried-Ostermann was founded c.1902 as a glove...

    Denim Jackets - New or Vintage

    Let's bump this thread with the coolest denim jacket I have ever seen, a mid 80s made in USA Levi's sherpa trucker: It sold long ago; it was my size and I kinda wish I had bought it, even though the 275$ price tag would have been hard to stomach.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    That's what I expected. Thanks and congrats on yet another great piece.

    I did not know they offered this design. It is a new one, right? Not a variation of another pattern? I ask since I cannot see it on their website.

    Hopefully the aviator will go to a good home. Can't help with the leather on the cossack, unfortunately; not enough first-hand experience with these old jackets.
