    Lets see those Motorcycle Jackets!

    So was I... Got the Oabrook at a Pomona car parts swat meet. The label on the Oakbrook was a little different from the one I was wearing that day. However, the one for sale was a beast of a jacket with a sweet mouton. Great jackets, sadly sometimes you need to see them in the flesh to...

    Lets see those Motorcycle Jackets!

    You know, the Oakbrook and the Hercules appear to have been made by the same company. Both have almost the same leather, and just about everything about the cut and construction is the very same. However, the oakbrook has a thicker and heavier leather. The only difference is the shoulder...

    Lets see those Motorcycle Jackets!

    The jacket reminds me of the 50s Hercules and Oakbrook, but a bit longer and narrower at the shoulders. Very nice.

    About size of buco j 24 Mouton collar

    Friend, the problem with the mouton fit is not the size. It is the location of the snaps. The mouton will go over the collar. However, the fit is sometimes not secure properly because the l24 snaps they utilized might not line up well. If you are riding, it could be a problem. If you are not...

    About size of buco j 24 Mouton collar

    Maybe not? It all depends on the year of production. The newer mouton that are being sold by RMC as individual pieces are made for the 2021FW (BJ21101) only.

    FS: Late 30s early 40s Goatskin Sunburst Half Belt with Art Deco buckles

    I just wish I would fit on this particular beautiful jacket. Maybe in my late 30's I could still pulled it off. Now, the tacos are taking control of me. LOL.

    FS: Late 30s early 40s Goatskin Sunburst Half Belt with Art Deco buckles

    Minnesota Woolen all the way. MW had a sensable cuff feature that probably came from the aviation and later the motorcycle industry. Some of my favorite designs feature such cuffs. Which I personally is a very utilitarian feature if you put this jackets to work.

    Lost Worlds CHP HorseHide Jacket

    Personally, I would say you are fine with the thread Stu uses. However, I would love to see his jackets in 138 tex. Why not if possible? The problem I would see is the technician properly tuning the machine to accommodate the bigger thread. Regarding zippers, in the long run zippers will...

    Lost Worlds CHP HorseHide Jacket

    Friend, I am going to agree with you regarding your observations. I would ask him if he can do bonded nylon Tex 138 in your project. That is a strong tread for extra heavy duty jackets. Personally, I love that Tex 138 in most projects. You know, Some collectors do not pay attention to some...
