Back on the day, "Cal sometimes did not label their jackets".
That straight from Cal current owner. I have spoken to her many times and visited their shop several occasions. She goes to explain that some jackets went out to retailers using their own labels. I know of several, but my...
Love that jacket. I have several of them. Paid lot more for them than this sale price. Grate deal. The collar can be upgraded the old fashion way with some corduroy fabric or hide.
There is a friend and a nice builder in the forum. Sometime ago, he put together a nice 1938 HD. He mentioned he has some friends who "have an eye" for rebuildable bikes. He is a nice guy to know. Friend, as you probably know, it is going to be pricy. LOL. I currently have six bikes...
I would add Vanson,LW and Branded Garments to the list. Sadly, I have lost some very nice 60's HH Schotts when I crashed bad several years ago. One time I totaled the guy's car with my bike, then there was a time I almost ended up in the other side of the freeway. Lucky I skid on the edge of...
Maverickson's jacket is awesome. I agree with you. I was wondering if you had your hands on one of those FW? As much as I had my "troubles" with Stu, I still love his jackets. There is one of his jacket I must add to my list but I just can not get my self to pull the trigger on it.
If you ride, those Al's and Cals are EXCELLENT in the protection category. The only only one that come close to ME are the Trojans. In part because they are built like a thank and are actually tools for the rider just like a Cal and Al's. I follow the golden rule set by my over 40 years of...
J. I just wondering, how many FW do you have? FW are nice but for the price is not worth it to me. I believe, makers like Scheeley Bros. and Johnsons have an excellent product for the price with out the hype. Out of principle, 2k for a jacket is not for me. All the people who love them...
You are paying for the name brand mainly and trend factor. Those jackets are not very labor intensive nor they have they come with expensive NOS hardware. Personally, I am not a fan of their HH. However, many people in this forum do like those Japanese hides. LW does make a nice jacket with...
I have not seen the freewheelers on the flesh. However, from your images, the items on the sleeves appear to be spots. Regardless, spots or rivets are not difficult to properly install.
Here is my favorite provider of spots. They have been providing spots for a very long time. Including...
I believe the leather tags are older than the white tags. Please remember to keep your jacket in a moth proof garment cover. I would use a nice #2 pencil to clean up the zippers and a horse hair big brush to clean the jacket nicely. Please take your time. Your jacket looks clean enough to...
