    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Beautiful jacket. The design is so trim. A person must be a women's size 4 or smaller to fit on to this type of jacket. At a show, I did actually see a very young woman size 2 in one of those jackets label size 8.

    Taubers of California

    I do have some Taubers. Some came in the crown type and other with Talon. Even the big #10 zips fail often. However, the zip looks original to the jacket. If you would like a closer opinion about the zipper, post several close-ups of the zipper pull and slider, as well as the sewing job on...

    Leather jacket Fur (mouton) collar attachment pattern.

    Master class in how to represent the collar using the graph. Both front and rear on the graph. Photographing the collar on the jacket is sweet. I must say, your cycle champ is the fifth different I have seen. All five have a very different D pocket. Perhaps there are more?

    Leather jacket Fur (mouton) collar attachment pattern.

    Excellent detail images of all vital parts of the collars. I truly thank you for taking the time for contributing to the tread. If is possible, to send images using the graph paper? The graph paper allows for viewers to make an accurate recreation of the original. Thanks again.

    Very nice jacket. Those jackets were made with an incredible dense hide. I have two of the x zips in this hide. Mine is heavy, like 7 lbs for a size 44L.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Out of sight. Game over combo. Friend, please take the time if to lubricate all the hardware on the jacket. The pencil approach is the best with your jacket. If you already did a good lubrication? Please slowly work the teeth and sliders and pulls slowly so that the graphite can work its...

    Please tell me about this jacket

    Hi, I am not an expert on this period. But many indications such as construction methods and jacket trends leads me to believe that is a nice mid 50s naked skin steer hide A-2 type jacket. The zipper is consistent with the mid 50s crowns, which appears to be original to the jacket. Lastly...
