    Cleaning suede boots

    This is what I've used to decent success, although mainly on jackets: https://www.kiwicare.com/en-us/products/kiwi-suede-and-nubuck-care-kit It's just a cheap brush and eraser kit. The eraser typically gets off whatever has caused the dark spot or mark, and the brush is used to bring the nap(?)...

    Leather Police Jackets

    The pit to pit is around 23.5 to 23.75. I'm not sure what size you are, so feel free to reach out if that measurement could work. The older Cal definitely has a lot more grain to it, but these jackets (whoever made them) seem heavier and more substantial, if that makes sense. Kind of like the...

    Leather Police Jackets

    It's a really sturdy jacket. Heavier than my own Cal. The seller told me he wore it while assigned to motors, and there are definitely some signs of wear. Some small holes in the lining, wear to the leather (nothing outside of normal use, though), and part of the sleeve "inside" cuff has become...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    This is very similar to Golden Bear's cross zip design, although I've not owned one myself. I would not be surprised if they were contracted out for it. I have seen a number of Golden Bear jackets with various small, local leather shop tags on them.

    The Relapse

    I used to buy leather jackets. I still do, but I used to too.

    That looks like a commercial variant of the US field jacket / field jacket lining label. If so, I’m not sure why it would be on a leather jacket o_O

    That looks like a Brooks cafe racer to me. Are there markings on the buttons?

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I don't really know the details of Buco designs, but the jacket looks off somehow to me. I've never seen a brown label Buco with the tag size to the right, also. It's always been below: Plus those chest zippers are all 60s talons, right? Some brief googling indicates Buco stopped using this...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Sometimes looking on facebook marketplace gets me annoyed. For example, here's a Levi's skyfall jacket for $100. Seller is not interested in shipping, and I don't live anywhere near Arizona. Finding a jacket and having it so (relatively) close, but not being able to buy it...awful feeling! I...

    https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/mpo/d/graton-leather-motorcycle-jacket/7289378320.html $50 Cal-Leather CR (I think). SF Bay Area. I never heard back from the seller about shipping, so I might as well share it here.

    I'm tempted. The chest is a little large, but a six inch taper is pretty significant, so it might result in a good looking V shape. @Jin431, were you thinking the sleeve length was longer than 23" based on the pictures?

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Kind of a neat find, an Aero leather trucker modeled off of a vintage Wrangler 24MJZ. This was the style I considered getting made from Five Star. The details on this design are not the same, particularly on the back, but it looks pretty similar overall. That said, seeing it actually on a...

    Listing got my hope up by saying the jacket was a small. That's an excellent deal and a neat looking jacket, someone should get it.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    It is not the one recently on the classifieds, although I would have loved that one if it was in my size. The Branded Garments CHP is what that model is typically referenced as, but this resembles more of a standard cross zip with a coin pocket, although I expect it to still be pretty...

    https://www.etsy.com/listing/959255818/vintage-sz-48-mens-black-leather? Passaic leather, possibly HH?, for $125. Maybe a controversial style though, haha.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    This Branded Garments shipped out today, pretty excited for it. May end up being a catch and release since it is a size 40. However, their stuff has always fit pretty snug, so it may work out. Seller says she has not worn it since Bike Week 1986!

    WTB: Vanson Rock and Roll or similar loud Cross zip

    @Monitor this is one that was linked here earlier that sold. It's now relisted by a different seller at a higher price (only $15 more though), although I do recall you saying it might have been too large anyway...

    Good to know, my bad for giving wrong info then. Are the RM / HD jackets explicitly labeled as such?

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Here is an older Real MC and Harley Davidson horsehide jacket that I saw awhile back. Price seems low for what you get, though it is an auction so it will likely go up. I just don't like the Chicago cop style. https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n493560400
