    The Time Has Finally Come

    ^^ Sad to hear this. I too had wondered what ever happened to this journey. Good they made it out before that hurricane hit, and too bad I had not followed them more closely. I have relatives in NC who probably could have helped out. Given the vintage of the truck, (apx 1999 Chevy) that had...

    Who has an Aero Dustbowl??

    Totally agree! It would be too much for a jacket that was not correct...

    Who has an Aero Dustbowl??

    That Dustbowl appears to be made of very thick Horsehide, and the bulges you see seem to nearly line up with the expansion pleats in the back of the jacket. I agree with others, it's a tremendous fit on you aside from this. Not exactly sure how those would occur on this or a different pattern...

    Motorcyclists question: Horsehide boots?

    I have Horsehide White's Lace-ups here with leather lining. I rode for several years, and I think with the OP is concerned with are the more naturally-occurring scrapes & scuffs that happen as you shift, brake, and generally contact a bike getting on and off and in operation. Mine are Horween...

    Taubers straight-zip restoration jacket

    ^^ It was not my first choice of color, I just wanted something different than black. She had black, dark brown and the wine-red. I had hoped for a brighter red, but decided this would be fine. Always like a color inside that makes the black & brass pop a little.

    Vintage Sears Hercules Halfbelt

    That is really amazing! Fits you very well and the photo with the tie makes it really pop as well. Very glad this is with a person who will wear and treasure it long term!

    Why only Japan makes high-quality jackets?

    Hey sir - sure sorry to hear this! All of us will certainly care about this sort of thing. Welcome to FL - as you can see, when we know the context - we will care deeply indeed. Thanks for sharing and yes, Tony's recommendations of Dena is well placed. Read my thread on the Taubers jacket...

    Taubers straight-zip restoration jacket

    ^^ Neat to hear about the orange original pocket linings. I suspected that was done later. They are all intact, and after the Woolite washings, they are clean and good. Should have mentioned that I let Dena do a full clean & Condition, she actually went over the jacket several times with a...

    Taubers straight-zip restoration jacket

    Here is the result after having the jacket in with Dena: This jacket has really changed from it's received state. The complete lining is new, there is no "quilted poly-fill" insulation anymore, the corduroy around the neck area is new, and she was able to clean and save the original...

    Taubers straight-zip restoration jacket

    Hello Lounge friends here is the chronicle of a 60+ year old Horse Hide police jacket from a flea-market in California to it's current location and condition. I did not know much about the Taubers brand prior to purchasing this one. Part of the reason for the purchase was to expand knowledge...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    My apologies here, I know this is not for boots, but I read this quote and have to post this: Just do an image search on Google for a 1990 BMW 7-series, and then a 2020 BMW 7-series. No comparison. The grill has gone bonkers, looks like it belongs on a pickup truck. Sad, we consider that...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Monitor, I have the same thoughts as everyone else. Keep it! You'll regret if you sell (I still do regret selling my J23, but I regret more not just getting the lining right the first time and then never having the need to sell it). And BTW - congratulations on the weight loss. That's not...
