    AERO LONGSHOREMAN HH - Shearling lined - 44

    It was a change in lifestyle really. Not a temporary diet thing. I cut out hard alcohol, having beer at home regularly, sodas and most other empty carbs. I started eating huge salads to start my meals. I always have only eaten one meal a day at night. So it ended up I have been...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I am no expert, but I would find this type of connection unlikely. Bates is a moto gear shop while Schott is more fashion overall. Plus opposite coasts and seemingly different markets. These days, brands may do collaborations but I think you are more asking if there is a production connection...

    Vintage jacket Appraisal Service coming Soon!

    Bro, there is still time for you to call SECOND DIBS, DIBS ON JACKETS I DON'T BUY, and/or DIBS on the right to purchase MY DIBS rights............. The DIBS system has been around since Eve called DIBS on the forbidden fruit in Eden. Adam, holding secondary DIBS status at the time, also did...

    Vintage jacket Appraisal Service coming Soon!

    I will dispense with any editorial commentary on @tmitchell59 's entrepreneurial endeavors and jump straight to: I CALL DIBS on ALL of @tmitchell59 's jackets that FIT ME and that I CAN AFFORD. Gentlemen, as we ALL know, DIBS means that by mere utterence of this single syllable word, I have...

    These odd connections...................... Are they connections at all??? The whips, the Mission buildings/scenes............ are they imitating each other or are these offshoot makers??? Or was it that ALL SF and California were known for at this time are Horse whips and the Missions...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    CSC is always what I think when I see these MW green CALIFORNIA labels. But this could be something that is just coincidental with that label. The Label would still certainly be accurate if either CSC or RP were the maker. I wonder if RP made this CZ model and perhaps CSC made other models...

    FS 40s/50s Sears Hercules Halfbelt sz 40/42

    I'd wager its Horsehide based on similar jackets I have seen/handled. Most of the Herc HBs I have seen with that liner are HH. That liner is early nylon I believe --- a denser nylon than you'd see on a windbreaker. Also I think all of the brown Herc HBs I have seen have been HH. I have seen...

    AERO LONGSHOREMAN HH - Shearling lined - 44

    I do not. Fit pics on me these days would be completely useless. I'm like a stick in this thing. When I bought it I weighed 221 and now I weigh 165. I can take additional non fit pics if you'd like. I probably should have listed this going INTO winter and not coming OUT of it........

    Great idea @tmitchell59!!!!!!!!!! A series of juicy side by sides would be very interesting to see. New angle of content for your YouTube vids too. You can do Face Offs between jackets!!! Sure there is liable to be a little bit of 'apples and oranges in a comparison of this kind but it would...

    Schott 689H sz 40”

    Dehen, to be clear, is not a leather garment maker. They make heavy outdoor and sorta work wear. They're in Portland and started in 1920. I thought it was a woolen mill but I may be mistaken. I know they make quality stuff. Maybe along the lines of CC Filson. I don't own anything from them...

    @Will Zach Being I share your grailish interest in scoring a Cal Straight Zip, I think I would be even more stoked to get a California Sportswear Straight Zip like this one. Star Gloves are older vintage historic pieces in their own right. They are rare to see for sure and go for generally...

    Schott 689H sz 40”

    Yessir. Langlitz is another small - I believe family run operation. You guys also have Dehen up there. Not sure if that is still a family run business too but I thought I read that it was.
