    Thank you for the responses. That makes great sense (and I agree) that knits can be a huge liability on an older jacket. I am not particularly a fan of knits, but believe they have their place in a wardrobe. I've noticed people here tend not to prefer them, but once in a while I will see some...

    Completely respect that. I'll share a perspective. Forgive me if it's too much information LOL. Some of us out there have/had builds like Olympic sprinters...tiny waists, huge thighs and huge glutes...what I guess some people today call a bubble butt. Add on top of that being well endowed in...

    Thank you for the response. I am a bit confused. Some folks just got excited over this jacket with knits. Obviously, they are very different jackets, but if knits are not as popular, what caused this green jacket to cross the threshold of cool. I am not questioning anyone's taste here...

    ...same jacket in HH? https://therealpicker.com/jackets/grais-leather-jacket ...an interesting old Grais worn by an MC member in the 50's. Would be fascinating to know the popularity of such jackets in the MC community back then relative to other makes. https://www.ebay.com/itm/184196757909

    My friend and bison expert Cecil just got in 60 bison robes from the Moyle Tannery in Idaho, which does exquisite work. Colors vary; most young bulls have some gold in the mane, washed blond after that and then brown and black. Bison cows tend to be more uniform in color ... from rich chocolate...

    That's great you looked it up. There was definitely a time when young people would wear stuff like this. We went through these homophobic years in the US during which people were sensitive about experimenting with leather. I think a jacket like this has always been considered "safe," and...

    From what I understand, Ruben Grais, a Russian immigrant and shoemaker, sewed the leather jackets while his nephew made the varsity jackets. I believe Ruben Grais had a contract to make jackets for the Chicago PD. Grais made a wide variety of pieces to appeal to different customers. Their...

    I posted this same jacket back in February. I think we may underestimate the historical significance of this company and its motorcycle jackets (they also were well known for varsity jackets). As best I can tell, they were one of the earliest companies to bring such jackets into the mainstream...

    Concerning Avirex jackets...these were very popular with youth in the US for many years. Their varsity jackets were dope gear in hip hop culture when some on here were in diapers. And US kids wore bomber-type jackets over the decades... more so than moto jackets, especially during the 70's...

    For those from the UK, this would be akin to someone from Liverpool purchasing a jacket from someone in Manchester and having nightmares about Ronaldo.
