2022 - the year of suede?

There's one just like this (older label, pre-oakbrook) on ebay now for a very good deal. It's a size too large for me but were it a 42", I'd already have it:

A couple of new suede items just in...

This Cody Rancher Rough Out Jacket i believe is from the 50's, very much a welders type jacket.

And a 60's Levi's Shorthorn Suede Jacket with a Sherpa Lining.

The black one looks great but the the brown one reminds me of one of those 90s 'Blouson' jackets that Jerry Seinfeld wore.

Can I say one thing? And I say this with an unblemished record of staunch heterosexuality. The jackets is fabulous— Constanza

A few of our jackets have blown right past neurotic George’s cost threshold lol. It was the 90s though. So maybe not.

A late 60's early 70's Levi's Suede white label, made in Australia. I have another Levi's suede made in Australia (not white lable) which is in a lighter brown and i think a thinner suede.

Apparently Levi Strauss (Australia) Pty Ltd was founded in 1968 and was a worldwide wholesale distributor.

The owner i bought it from who is now an elderly man said he purchased the jacket in London in 1972.

Quite a collection. This one is perfect, looks a bit longer in the body than some suede Levi's.

yeah i'd say an inch longer than the shorthorn western wear jackets, this measures 24" long from the hem of the collar to the bottom. Size 42.

Interesting to see the different shades. I'm always a sucker for the smooth collar variant.

Nice way to build a collection. The Cody Ranchers are very cool.
