@MrProper had a great suggestion in the other thread. Send the jacket to Johnson Leathers and just have them repair the jacket with a new collar. Or send it to Dena at Great Leather for the same.
Old man winter came back for a brief visit.
Gabardine half belt. Original owner wore this one pretty hard, cleaned up a lot of stains but still a few. Gabardine weave is great wearing fabric.
Great research and write up/review there sir Nacho. Love these braid trim Sears MC jackets but haven’t yet been in the right place at the right time for one in my size.
The epitome of the best classic 30’s - 40’s jacket. Button up makes it even grander in my humble opinion.
As good as it’s gonna get.
Great job on bringing it back to life thus far.
I had forgotten but I actually have some 1.25” two prong bars in silver and in brass from this same supplier when they had an Etsy store. If it’s the right size I can send you some.
Topp Master NOS two way pockets, cateye buttons and zip out liner.
The tree is on the desert edge of this same field. Big Horn ram that came down for a drink and a cool shady spot to rest this past summer.
It’s taken a few years but I’ve finally gotten over @JMax buying “my” Hercules a few years back :(. He was wiser and didn’t wait for measurements :cool:
Unlabeled suede 30’s button up, excellent condition considering its age.
I love wearing this one.
The farm I’m working at today on the banks of the Gila dates back to the 1800’s. The original walls of this barn dates to then. They cut the Malapi rock into blocks to build the walls.
Twas some...
Bowen,
I appreciate your kind words. Somehow the real me is evidently not portrayed in the pics. I’m the most plain ordinary guy in the world. Heck I’m still wearing the same style jeans & work shirts I wore 40 years ago. I love the vintage style of the good ole days especially hats & jackets...
