    Aero Connolly Leather vs FQHH

    There’s an early Highwayman in Connolly on eBay UK - I’ll post the link in vintage finds. It’s listed as a 46” but is 23” pit to pit so be wary.

    James Dean Jacket

    HD, I’m sure Markie is right and that the jacket was used in the film. As has been pointed out several times in this thread it’s usual to use a few jackets in a film - even down to using similar ones by different manufacturers. All I’m suggesting is that a McGregor jacket was worn by James Dean...

    James Dean Jacket

    Thank you - yes the one with the throat latch was ‘made yesterday’.

    James Dean Jacket

    I’m certain you’re correct and call me paranoid but I’d hate to get into a legal wrangle with people who have money enough to contest that. Rent the dvd and check it out yourselves.

    James Dean Jacket

    I bought Rebel on Amazon in HD format and fast forwarded to 1:38;40. At this point Jim has handed his jacket to Plato who is holding it with the label showing. I’m wary of contravening copywright etc. so I won’t post a still from the film but it’s showing a significant resemblance to the...

    James Dean Jacket

    I’ve looked for the scene on YouTube - where Jim hands Plato his jacket - the ‘give me the gun’ scene, but can’t find one that shows the label and I can’t find my own copy of the dvd - I might buy it to stream so I can look again. Here’s a pic of the label from my 50’s Antifreeze for comparison...

    James Dean Jacket

    Yes it was me with the stove dye extraction and re-dye. I had to replace the waist elastic too as it had perished. Regarding the pocket flaps they can be tucked in but you can still still see the popper.

    James Dean Jacket

    Well as you all know I’m not one to gloat but........ I paid £9.99 for this on eBay UK just before Christmas. It’s not as shiny as my re-dye but it’s still nice.

    James Dean Jacket

    Well I’m curious about the lining not being grey, and the label looking nothing like the one in the still pics from the film but it’s possible a variety of jackets were worn in the film and the style looks right - maybe Berma and McGregor jackets were used? I understand that it’s usual to have...

    Please help me identify the maker?

    Thank you - it’s well made with high quality leather and hardware. I love the style - it fits my shape well and I’ve found plenty more (if anyone is interested), on eBay at great prices. This brand seems to be unfairly underrated and deserves checking out - imho it eclipses the vintage Lesco...

    Lee Denim Jacket thrift store find

    Unfortunately the vintagemotorcyclejacket website doesn’t seem to exist anymore and they had a fairly definitive set of pics of Lee labels by date. Try searching Pinterest for vintage Lee labels

    Burned on Ebay

    I understand that buy it now and second chance offers are returnable within14 days if it was a ‘business’ seller on eBay UK. I wonder if eBay will use the same rule if requested against a private seller? Does anyone have experience of this?

    Aero HG5?

    I’ve got one made by Julie Leitch - I like it too, it’s a cross between a Highwayman and an A2 without the knits - almost a Luftwaffe jacket style. I believe it was a collaboration between ‘Aero’ (in that period a few years ago when Ken Calder had retired) and a director of the firm BobJ...

    Please help me identify the maker?

    HD It’s not a devious thing - sneaking - it’s just a bit of fun. When she asked I just said “No love, I’ve had it for ages just like your new handbag etc. etc.” Like many women her standard response to being asked about new clothes etc. is a smiling “I’ve had it for ages”
