    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    @jeo, @ton312, @AbbaDatDeHat, @handymike, @Will Zach You guys are all making valid and strong points in explaining your experiences with vintage half belts and in particular, their lengths. For reference, I am 6'0 currently 168lbs. (going to a BBQ this afternoon so that number is likely gonna...

    ^^^^^ PRIME EXAMPLE ^^^^^^^ This is what I was sayin................... This back length is what I have experienced with Hercs. I know there are shorties out there too but these better sized jackets are out there. In the last 2 weeks I've picked up 3 very old jackets---two half belts both in...

    Not to dispute what is clearly being presented in pure photographic honesty by the straightest of straight shooters around these parts, my take is that the back length of the Hercules Half Belts MUST vary by maker and/or age. BELIEVE YOU ME, I would say that the SHORT BACK LENGTH is the fattest...

    I love Dyers and this one is cool. But I think it has more than simple fading goin on. MAYBE its the lighting but that pic of the back looks like......... I don't know WHAT it looks like....... Looks almost like it was a two tone jacket or somehow has different colored panels. Really odd. If...

    Yeah its not a great measurement pic. Shorter than 23" would be crazy short especially with the other measurements being what they are.

    I know @jeo knows vintage jackets. But my opinion differs here a bit. I have kicked the tires on this jacket for over a year now. The seller is sorta this stubborn old guy in PA. I asked for these measurements last YEAR and he didn't wanna provide em. I made offers and he was pretty dug...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I just looked at my small collection of cross zips and you are correct. There is some overlapping. To me it doesn't seem as pronounced as with double breasted suits or peacoats though. Not on the few I have. I mean, technically pretty much EVERY jacket that has an inner flap behind the...

    This does make some sense. Although I always associated "Double Breasted"with the overlapping closure of the Coat along with the Double Buttons. Like Peacoats and some barnstormer/aviator type jackets have that overlapping closure. So I don't see an exact match garment wise with cross zips...

    I agree 100%. I still get a kick out of how the Japanese basically created these categories for jackets---- in particular I am amused by SINGLE RIDER (straight zip) vs. DOUBLE RIDER (cross zip)....... there is literally nothing DOUBLE about a zipper zipping off center and at an angle. I take...

    I was also surprised to see that Cresco went back anywhere close to the 30s.

    I prefer the one made by famed American Designer Ed Gein....... I don't know how many faces he saved up to make his model---but apparently lotion and baskets were involved in his process.

    Yep--ANOTHER Jacket ID Inquiry........

    @ton312 I sought out and studied all your posts on your "Heartbreaker" jacket as a comp to this one but the chest pocket angles and the lower pocket flaps with more pronounced scalloping quickly told me they were not the same jacket Nonetheless THIS Jacket ^^^^^^^^^ has been the closes...

    Cool one man!!! Is this a Belstaff??? They seem to get all the cool movie guys wearing their stuff on screen. Before I learned about Half Belts, my first few vintage jackets were Car Coats. I have sold almost all of them off but I still have a few---a Brent, an Irvin Foster, and a Kurland...
