    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    50s Cal Leather, awesome grain. This one missed my ebay tracker and is currently extremely cheap, but the bidding will definitely go up. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vtg-1950s-Star-Glove-Leather-Cal-Customs-Horsehide-Motorcycle-Biker-Jacket/233831592204

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    That looks like an awesome jacket. Great deal given how much they charge for their jackets new nowadays. Only downside to a secondhand custom jacket is the measurements can be a bit crazy - 27 inch sleeves!

    Levis Type III, 70s? 80s?

    I'm not an expert by any means, just repeating what I've read online on the topic. There are a handful of fashion-related sites that all say the same thing as this article on Heddels, which is: "If your jacket has four pockets in addition to the two chest pockets, it’s been produced around 1984...

    Levis Type III, 70s? 80s?

    I'm not sure how specific you were hoping to date the jacket, but your estimation of 70s-80s is accurate. Levi's Type 3 jackets were given the 70505 label number in 1967 / 1968. Based on it having a care label, it would have been produced past 1971. The lack of handwarmer pockets, which were...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Natural hide(?) Aero Cafe Racer at $275 on facebook marketplace. Seller has been real slow to respond, but has indicated a willingness to ship the jacket. The wear & wrinkling has put me off of it for now, but maybe with some TLC it would look better...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    That looks really good. I've always liked the Wrangler trucker details far more than the standard Levi's type 3, so its nice to see this version in leather too. Hope it works out!

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Size small Californian, older tag, $70 with offers enabled. Looks pretty nice, but I don't like this style very much. Probably could be flipped, though. https://poshmark.com/listing/Vintage-1960s-Leather-Jacket-5fd4d70760fdedf368317295

    Vintage Outerwear: Threads of the Past

    I apologize for the poor pictures, though I would share this jacket but its currently owned by someone on facebook marketplace! I recognized the CHP design right away, but could not figure out the maker. The chest pocket zippers are Talon diamonds, which led me to estimate 1950s. Some more...

    Help Identifying Crosszip ?

    I'm not really all that familiar with older makers, but if it helps at all, the jacket looks to have diamond Talon zippers on the chest pockets, which would mean 1940s-1950s. I cannot make out the zipper and its pull box, but you could post a picture or look at it yourself to compare it to this...

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

    The jacket I ordered from Japan arrived today. The proxy process is very simple, and the international shipping was extremely fast. The slowest process was waiting for my jacket to actually arrive at the proxy warehouse from the original seller. It's steerhide, and I believe the maker is Sugar...

    Vanson Chopper Fit Pics

    This is from Carrie at Thurston Bros, regarding the difference in comp weight hides: Actually, the entire thread where I sourced that from may be a good read. This thread, a year later in 2019, was also helpful reading when I bought my CHP2 secondhand. In general, people have experienced both...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Figured I'd throw this one out there, although I can't confirm the seller would be willing to ship: a Passaic NJ issue police jacket. Size 46, Horsehide(?), with alpaca pile lining, $150. Really neat jacket. I like the back design in particular, it looks better than the T shaped pattern you see...

    Leather Police Jackets

    I just decided to purchase one of those recently. I may end up needing to return it because of sizing issues, but I am hoping it will fit. Miklos Sas is the maker. They made early NYPD leather jackets, most commonly found in the shorter RMP style, but I have also seen the 3/4 length peacoat...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/133581864887 Nice looking NYPD jacket. Made by Miklos Sas. If I remember correctly, these were made out of horsehide. I have seen them sell for cheaper than $175, but normally they have lots of use. This one seems to be in great condition. It think it is too big for me...

    Vintage Eastman SFAD B3 size 42R

    I don't want to derail the thread or dredge up this situation if the seller just wants to move on, but I'm just curious how the buyer got away with it if he used F&F. As far as I know, Paypal explicitly does not offer buyer protection on F&F payments. That thread is living proof of it - pages...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Man, someone listed a Buco for $5 and $5 shipping on facebook......It showed up on my new recommended list when I clicked on marketplace just now, and it had already sold. Update: Reached out to seller, she enabled shipping on accident and the jacket appears to still be available. She said she...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    The listing had these measurements: Length: 61 Shoulder width: 45 Width: 53 Sleeve length: 61 Since it is an amateur measurement, please forgive some errors. Which translates to 24.01 length, 17.71 shoulder, 20.87 width (chest?), and 24.06 sleeves. Standard for a 38 size, I think, but...
