    SOLD: 60s Excelled crosszip mc jacket size 38

    Brings back memories. I could not come close to getting this on (44 - 46 now) but the very first crosszip I ever wore was an Excelled. In the early 90's a friend in community college lent his to me for a year. It had a lot of modifications, but I loved it. There were (and still are) days I...

    Fringe jackets

    There must be some market for this style. Aero is doing a reproduction of a Rivett's Fringed 59'er Highwayman now: https://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/product-detail.php?id=5116

    Good Wear - order time

    Marc & Carlos - ok thanks. That is information I was not aware of. Pretty challenging to "go it alone" in a craft business such as this. Certainly seems to be a high demand for these type of hand-made jackets, as evidenced by these wait times. I did notice on Greg's site that the only two...

    Good Wear - order time

    To the OP - it appears to be a serious test of commitment to order one of these jackets. Personally I would look at Greg Field - Field leathers (Search for the thread here - lots of positive reviews) Or Thedi Leathers - and if in the US consider ordering through Carrie at Thurston Brothers...

    Which Jacket Brand Has the Best Resale Value?

    I've noticed this trend as well. If you were to search the FL Classified for historic sales of Highwaymen, you would find quite a few from even a few years back, but rather few in recent years. A couple have been mine, when either too small (This was my favorite being a zip-sleeve with a...

    Fringe jackets

    So I am late to this Fringe Party. Marc, I will say this - it looks good on you there, but this jacket and the feature that makes it so unique is simply one of the most polarizing aspects of clothing design that has ever been devised. The 50/50% split says it all. Personally I am a very firm...

    Pecard query

    I have used "regular" Pecards with good success on both some older Aero - CXL - FQHH jackets and many pairs of White's boots with good success. Never any real darkening that I have noticed, if you are concerned with that.

    Can someone please help me find this type of leather jacket?

    ^^ I kind of dig this idea Guppy, as I have read through all these posts, I have admittedly been at a "loss" as to how to help this fellow proceed. Clearly Zangy you know what you want and are determined to make it happen. I guess I just lacked the "starting point". Maybe this jacket...

    Not so happy experience with Vanson repair

    I'm sorry for the experance you had. Sounds like in the end, they are making it right for you. That said, Vanson has a really complete menu of repairs & associated costs, much more complete than I had expected: https://www.vansonleathers.com/content/332-repairs-resizing As to other "oops" that...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Very nice Johnson at an excellent price. However it's simply too bad this is so short. If it was ~ 25.5" back length below the collar, I would be all over it at that price!

    Can someone please help me find this type of leather jacket?

    I like the photos! Thanks for sharing. None of your jackets you display represent a "huge fitment" to me so no worries here! :) And yes, we all give each other a hard time from time to time here, and that's part of what makes it more fun. I do really think you have a good stylistic eye...

    Which Jacket Brand Has the Best Resale Value?

    I got thinking about this a little more this afternoon. Perhaps a more accurate way to tell percived value/desirable level of a specific jacket maker & type of jacket would be to see just how quickly specific jackets sell after they get listed. For example, looking through FL classified alone...

    Which Jacket Brand Has the Best Resale Value?

    And I failed to mention in my earlier post - even just turning around a jacket and selling it after a try-on or less than 2 weeks of wear it really is not much different. The resale drops off dramatically as it's not technically "new" anymore. Sounds a lot like driving a brand-new car off the...
