    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Right on, Jonesy. You already had high props in my book for rocking leather jackets in paradise. I might just take a gamble and be the guinea pig. Going to see if I can find any sort of reviews online first. Keep you all posted.

    that's a beauty, Terry. She told me, although she's never seen any, but supposedly they were making a lot of Type 3 style back in the day. Most likely aren't tagged, so who knows where they are,, but be on the hunt. Not sure there's any sort of signature give aways like the fur in the...

    yeah, their IG is killer. Ok, I think I got them confused with the Omega one that I see on Buyee. That one for sure is manufacturing jackets because what they do is you do a BIN, and then 4 weeks later they ship. Those run about $400 plus all the shipping, so figure about $500. They claim...

    Ha, I was thinking the same. I think mine, at least in the category of the old school American made classics-- Buco, Cal Leathers, Schott, Taubers

    Aero Cafe Racer in FQHH CXL Blue. This is really starting to break in nice. 2nd pic is closer to the color.

    I contacted them about getting a horsehide tea core type 3 style jacket. They quoted $580. Needless to say, I haven't responded. Still trying to figure out what the deal is over there.

    Went back and picked up my jacket. They did a great job replacing/matching just the male side of the zipper so I was able to keep that gorgeous Talon head. They also patched up an inside pocket, some liner patches, and a lot of loose stitching. Jacket is ready for another 100 years. As a...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    nah, it's a proxy listing. Multiple people offering same jacket and trying to play the margin game (i.e. buy from Japan at X price and sell to you at Y price). Nothing wrong with it per se, other than you're not buying the jacket directly from seller and the obvious, you can probably track...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Yesssss. I saw some of the new jackets on my visit to their shop. Forgot to ask if they were horse, but like I said in that post, they were killer. Super thick, like Vanson thick, but much more supple than the comp weight.

    Have I made a mistake? ( jacket on order )

    You need to be comfortable with it. While many here have no issues wearing their jackets, you have to wear yours. So if you're going to buy it and then have it sit in the closet, well that's a waste of money and time. We can certainly give words of inspiration and encouragement, but you...

    many thanks. this was helpful. I got excited for a sec when I saw a reference to Toyo which is the parent company of some of those higher end brands. But it's not clear if there is in fact a relationship. $400+ is too much of a risk. You can buy used Vansons and Schotts in that range. But...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I clicked on the seller name and it pulled up like 1500 listings of various knock off jackets including J100s, Cossacks, D Pockets, pretty much any famous style from the past 80 years, etc. They sometimes go up to like 5 or 6 XL which basically translates to like a 44 or 46 LOL. In a few of...
