    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Lol. My size but have no fear, not into the full action back. It's gorgeous though. Besides, I picked up a Vanson today. Time to chill.

    Most conditioners have "natural" oils. So oil or lard, dont think it makes a difference. It's fat. Maybe if there's a smell I'd be worried. Himmel Bros guy talks about using beef (cant remember if it was tallow, lard, etc.) as a conditioner in that interview he did few months back. I think...

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

    Vanson. I'm pretty sure 1980-84 range. There's a hand written ID number in the pocket I need to research. Hoping it's the same leather as my C2 from same time frame. Perfect measurements for me too. But is definitely overkill, impulse. Still eyeing a couple Cals too, waiting on info. But...

    My 1000th Post. Something Fun and Thank You

    Thanks, everyone. @Jin431 something in the mail already. I can't help myself. It's more of a bandaid though, but we'll see, might be a long term keeper.

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

    Grabbed this at I think a pretty good price. I'm not sure it's been worn more than 10 times. Zippers (Talon and C&C) look completely untouched. I'm guessing early 80s. 25inch and change back length so hoping it will hold me over on my search for a longer Cal in the meantime. Worst case, I'm...

    My 1000th Post. Something Fun and Thank You

    nice. There's members in Pasadena, Claremont, and Los Felix that I know about. I'm in Woodland Hills pretty much Calabasas, so I think I'm the furthest one out. But I'm always down for maybe some Dim Sum in Monterrey Park area or anything fun really. I'll make the haul so long as it's not...

    Your all time fav Leather Jacket (1-2) you own or have owned

    that's a different kind of question because my favorite might be easily replaced because of availability. But if something were going to be destroyed, then need to consider odds of finding it again. I'd probably still take my Commando because there was only 20 made. But for my 2nd, the blue...

    My 1000th Post. Something Fun and Thank You

    I realized the other day I was almost at 1000 posts in like 8 months and I was like holy cow, I really need to do something with my life LOL. ;) Just kidding. I wanted to thank this great community. While you all have caused me to spend a fortune, I have learned a lot and had a ton of fun in...

    Schott Perfecto 618 small white stains

    sure thing. Now with some close ups, you know, it actually looks closer than I thought. 1970s 618. A little soft, very pliable, but also a little plastic feeling. Thinnest of the 3 below: 641xx, 2006 I think. Very soft to touch almost like aniline but very rigid, not in a plastic sort...

    Your all time fav Leather Jacket (1-2) you own or have owned

    For around these parts, yeah it's big. For normal people out there in the world, it's totally fine. :) Great jacket either way. Cal straight zip. Covid beard no extra charge...

    Your all time fav Leather Jacket (1-2) you own or have owned

    This question is so hard......:mad::eek::oops: I've gotten my "main" rotation down to about 10 jackets so I can start breaking them in and getting them to look their best. Having sold a few recently, a few more I know are ear marked for my kids down the road and won't get much wears anymore...

    Schott Perfecto 618 small white stains

    I'm echoing what Monitor said here, you sure that's a 618? I got a 618 and Per3 (which I'm pretty sure is the 600 series leather) and it looks nothing like that. Does it have the tag in the pocket indicating the model number? If it is 618 would love to know what year that was made (the 5th...

    50s Cal teacore black size 44ish

    t thanks, but the chest will be too big. It's similar to this one that I just sold. I need like a 22.5 to 23.5 range with 18-19 shoulder.

    50s Cal teacore black size 44ish

    Oh yeah. Send me pics. Bring tomorrow. If one of them fits me how I like, maybe I'll buy it. Sizing isn't always exact with them, but I think I need a 44L in that "usual" vintage sizing. The other one I just listed is so freaking perfect in every way except it's too short at 24. If it was...

    Late 70s Cal LAPD size 42ish

    Here's another one that doesnt have right fit for me. I had it for sale previously but since then it got a nice touch up from the Cal shop. I call it my "party" Cal. Had gold dust/glitter in the pocket when I got it. The stories...:p Cal Leathers shop patched up liner on the arm pit area...

    50s Cal teacore black size 44ish

    and just like that, she's gone. I'm going to try on one of my other ones again. It fits me better in the chest and waist, but a little too short if I remember. Good for like someone 5'10 or under I think. Stay tuned for another one maybe.

    50s Cal teacore black size 44ish

    Pains me to sell this one but no matter how many times I try it on, it ain't going to fit :p Sleeves and back length are longer than usual which we know is rare on these things. Really the reason why I kept trying to make it work, but it's too big in the chest and shoulders for me. I did a...

    Fouquet trademark is a match stick in the ribbon. I think I see something sticking out there. Hard to tell photos are not clear.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    ah ok. We're similar, so you're telling me there's a chance LOL :p:p Going to spend the next couple weeks doing the "spring" cleaning, see if I can get rid of a couple that don't fit, figure out what I'm missing and what I really want, and then start the hunt again.
