    Beautiful jacket. Incredible price for that level of jacket. Friend, I have the same model already. If I did not, I would have jumped on the deal. GLWS.

    Repair on a 1930s grizzly?

    Magnifying glass. Also, the rips on the thread cut the mouton. Look at the wool side. Begin with it makes sense the thread would be based on properly overlaying the mouton on the jacket hide. Also, I have seen some glue used to help keep the two leather pieces taunt before the sewing...

    California Sportswear Co Speed King (Horsehide Leather Jacket)

    I love the Idaho leather company. They produce excellent quality products. I believe they have been in business since the 30's? So it is very possible it is original to the jacket. My biker/police jackets have a huge belt loop openings. A 2.5 belt will fit just fine. In the past, I...

    I do not know a way to remove such stains. However I do have a tip to prevent such liquid penetration. I use Mink oil to waterproof any of my shoe wear.

    California Sportswear Co Speed King (Horsehide Leather Jacket)

    Beautiful jacket. Great condition regardless of any age. The design is no mystery to me. I see how the style was influenced by my favorite Californian jacket. Years looking for one in my size but not luck yet... Just pure gold. Thanks for the bonus in the images with the tag and belt maker...

    FS: Vintage Buco J24 jacket 50s sz 42

    One of the better documentation of the inner workings of a belt. By looking at the indentations it shows which machine was used.

    FS or FT Early Sears Oakbrook D-Pocket Leather Jacket Size 44?

    Nice jacket. Those conmartic are solid. I wonder what happened to the main zipper. Mine is an aluminum #10 talon. This jacket must be older than all of the similar label jackets. My guess it had an original #5? At any rate, nice jacket.

    Sears Motorcylce Jacket History 1949-1963

    I can photograph the newer and older Oakbrook's. I also can throw the Hercules in the mix. The older oak brooks have a slightly different label than the newer one. If you take out some room of the shoulders of the Herc, the Oakbrook is a near perfect image of the Herc.

    Rare 1952? Oakbrook D-Pocket Jacket on eBay. Heavy Duty Leather. Only one I've seen.

    I was cleaning my jacket rack when I noticed another Oakbrook. I remember wearing this one in the 80's. Purchased it from a place in Melrose called war babies I think? Anyways, it was one of my best fitting jackets. I paid a premium due to the trashed look that was in during that time...
