    Was Roughwear The Original Manufacturer Of The Iconic Hercules Jacket?

    I don't know how I missed these few threads on this jacket type. I had previously discussed the mystery/history of the iconic Original Hercules jacket with @tmitchell59. I had tracked down that patent for the adjustable collar and there are strong indications from this patent that RoughWear...

    I'll bet the reline alone done by Aero cost half what the Seller is asking for this jacket. I would jump on it if it were bigger. Really not a terrible price for a jacket like this with the most expensive and extensive tailoring repair already done and done WELL.

    The jacket is a decent looker and seems pretty well made. Probably cow or steerhide. The sleeves though are about 3" too long and I have pondered getting them shortened but the sleeve zippers sorta complicate things. I am now living in Northwest San Diego County, but we still have gas...

    @photo2u You sir are the zipper GuRu!!! Those are some beauties!! I can see the difference between the Crowns/C&Cs and Talons now when placed side by side. I haven't seen this Talon that I can recall. I have seen that PaperClip pull, but not the base with the word TALON on it. I meant to...

    Interesting and cool CZ cop jacket. Front handwarmer pockets look Cal-like.,,,could be a Californian..........What is interesting to me is the main zipper. It has a TALON base and what LOOKS like a Crown/C&C track. Maybe it is a Talon track but it looks a lot to me like a Crown. The two are...

    Mystery Jacket--Need Help Identifying

    Ol' Mystery threads NEVER die!!! Lol Thanks for your input man!! At the time, MASH did not have any Crowns in jacket length. I ended up going with a little bit later period Brass #10 Talon that I "antiqued" a bit with salt and vinegar. It matches the other Brass Talon zippers already on...

    I honestly would have been floored had it actually weighed 15lbs. I can't imagine a normal sized jacket made only of leather weighing 15lbs. I guess from what I am reading, others did not find the claim that outlandish so they must exist somewhere. Sucks about the sizing because I agree with...
