Yes! They were. Excellent nickle finish on them. Personally, they look better than the 40s crowns. They were produced till mid 70s. Vansons used them in some of their heavier jackets.
I have several. One in the Highway patrol style and several others in the CR types. About 30 years ago, I took several jackets to Cal leathers for authentication. I was told that the Cal prototype I got from my friend Dan Jauregui was the only one two ever made and both were made in HH. The...
Anything in the 7th pound range (with out belt and mouton) is an excellent Cal. The straight zips tent to weight a little less in my experience then the X zip ones. There were two gents from the forum that are selling excellent jackets here, did you see them? I had bad experiences with some...
After reviewing the newer pit to pit images, the jacket is in the 42-44 size range. The jacket looks like a 70-80's model to me. The price is a little in the expensive side. Is it ok to wait for such a jacket to show up in the Uk? Have you reached in to this forum to see if anyone is selling...

Yes, it will go on the shaft. The higher the best, I will take some images on my RedWing Boots 2268. I also have them in my two pairs of redwing motorcycle boots and other engineering boots. While using regular Levis jeans 501 (boot cut) nothing gets on the way. I have opted for the #5...
I am creating a pocket original designs to use as references for projects. The aim of this thread is to add images.

I have the Vanson. However, the Hein Gericke is a underrated jacket. For the price, it is hard to beat them both. If in a cold day, you can heavily layer on those two.
I actually have one. They were produced mainly towards the end of the big square label production. You probably know that this jacket also has elastics at the bottom towards the back at sides of the hem. Mine was a little worked out but very functional. Elastic had its places in vintage...
