    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Got to try out a pal's new bike today. I'm still going to wait a few more weeks until it gets a bit nicer. Langlitz Cascade

    Vintage Cal - It's changing my outlook on things

    Very cool late 50s (?) Horsehide Cal with no belt loops or epaulets. As has been stated, Cal fit hit or miss, so sadly this was a miss for me. But man it's nice.

    Not everyone can rock a grizzly without it "wearing them"; but you're making it look pretty effortless here..

    1930s(?)Beck Northeaster Flying Togs Police Coat

    This is my first dedicated post like this, so bear with me. I thought this one was worth documenting before finding it's forever home. This is a Northeaster Flying Togs Horsehide Police Coat. I'd say it was un-issued, but there are holes where the badge was pinned on which further pushes back...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    This jacket is pretty special to me. My Grandpa was a carrier pilot in the Canadian Navy, and wore this jacket as a young flyer. Then my old man wore it tearing around southern England on his motorcycle in the late 60's, and I've done the same on both coasts of this country. Today was just about...

    Getting mold out of a leather jacket - SOLVED

    Try putting the jacket in a box, also placing an open box of baking soda in there with it. Seal it up and leave it for a week. If its really bad, dump the whole box of baking soda in the bottom of the box and then put the jacket in. Patience is key.

    Vintage Outerwear: Threads of the Past

    @Leigh H it looks West Coast to me. The collar, and the Zipper flap piece on the right side (of the wearer) especially. Langlitz, Cal, StarGlove all seem to have the main zip largely obscured by that extra piece when zipped. Condition is fabulous too eh? That liner looks like its in great shape.

    Getting mold out of a leather jacket - SOLVED

    I have found a light mixture of vinegar and water to remove the visible mold, followed by some serious time on a hanger outside in the sun works the best. Sunshine and fresh air solve most of life's problems....... I have sorted out some STINKERS this way. Imagine how these smelled.....

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    This one came out of New Hampshire. In the listing the seller suggested that it could perhaps be cut into a shorter jacket if one didn't like the length.....the husband said that it was Police Motorcycle coat from the Boston PD. I have French Exams this morning (how's that for Canadian), but I...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I'm going to do a separate post about it when I get a minute, but quickly: yes storm cuffs, yes liner open at the bottom. I am totally gobsmacked by this thing; it's totally clean. Zero flaws.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    This UNBELIEVABLE UNIT of a coat just arrived. 1930's? (my assessment based on button loops not button holes as later examples had) Beck Northeaster Flying Togs Horsehide, wool and shearling lined Police coat in NOS condition. And yes I am going to wear this to get groceries later.....
