    My size... Except I need at least one inch (and a half...) more, back and front. I already know what a 22,5" back length jacket looks like on me. Are these 40s Star Glove that heavy ?

    Nice stitching on the epaulets, lke an A-2. About the goat one, it seems like that leather does not hold that well with time ?

    Yes it is classier this way, without the rough sides. I like it. Configurations are endless, I could add the difference btween the early visible zip, and the later ones, masked by leather bands. Your jacket is the "stealth" maybe... But the zip is not painted in black :)

    Nothing wrong with the piping, except they wear out quicker than the rest of the jacket. I like the oldschool look of the patched pockets more.

    Yes, this is just a matter of preference to me. I like the original D pocket, as seen on the first example in the following pic : the map pocket is a leather panel that is stitched to the jacket, and the cigarette pocket is a leather panel that is stitched to the map pocket. Later, like on the...

    Sears Motorcylce Jacket History 1949-1963

    The size is on a separate tag. But at least it is there. Maybe the main reason is that the main HERCULES labels were mass-producted, without size numbers. Some variants had the size on them. The HORSE HIDE or STEER HIDE tag may depend on the factory where the jackets were made, some with the...

    An other small detail, I think I only have seen steerhide jackets with the size number on the label, and no size on the HH ones.

    Sears Motorcylce Jacket History 1949-1963

    This jacket is new ! Where did you find that... The pocket on yours is perfectly squared too, and it is sewn on the real stitched panel (map pocket) to the jacket. The recent jackets map pocket has stitchings, but it's not a separate panel. The older the better look again. And about the mid 50s...
