Seems like the brand is Albert Leonhard, with a shop in Germany : Leonhard Albert Versand-Boutique Cockpit GmbH
Maybe it's closed, looks like the jackets are great quality.
I thought someone was looking for a connolly in medium size. You will have to find an old 38, maybe 36.
Many are looking for bigger sizes, and a lot of vintage jackets for sale are small.
This HB is nice, the sleeves/sides buckles remind me of a Top Notch jacket. Maybe Terry could identify...
It's absolutely easy to remove and put the belt back. I did remove mine for a cleaner look, but I did put it back,
to get the jacket tighter at bottom hem when closed, these jackets are pretty wide at the bottom.
It was on ebay. I could only find the ended listing, because shipping was not specified to Europe.
This way I have not been able to find it when it was for sale. Good for my wallet :)
It's a nice one, and I saw a similar one sold too, in a different size.
I was looking for pics of a 40s Hercules, wool lined with the palm tree label, but it won't happen I think.
That's two labels with Cali already.
Anyway, like JMAX, I will have to find your jacket, either with green or red wool lining.
That will happen. For sure...
You were probably right...
It's in great condition, with lapel, not so easy to find.
And there is this through belt with wool lining and this label that I will post in the other thread too : only $3150...

I was waiting for pics of the big map pocket. I was pretty sure Terry had boought it, but I didn't have the info.
I just see he posted photos 2 weeks ago in the WJAYWT thread. It fits nicely, so it may have been too big for me.
I had asked measurements from the ebay seller but never got any...
I thank all members of TFL, I did learn a lot of things here. A great knowledge and a pleasure to read.
I know it's sometimes hard to see great jackets bought by someone else, but that's justice after all.
That could be called experience !
It's great that TM finally got the big map pocket...
This way not everyone has the same Hercules, that's nice. But some collectors have the all :)
I only have one for the moment.
I just found pics of an other version with the giant map pocket at the front, and a pocket hidden in the bi-swing back.
No pics of the label, but it must be a Sears.
This jacket has the D pocket design, the back panel and the thinner leather as seen on the Oakbrook version.
It's strange to find the older label on it. And the stitching details, not perfectly done. Who knows if this 70 years old MC wasn't modified...
I'll try to find the archeopteryx : the...
