so far only Simmons Bilt's Oakland, Norshor, BK Wild Boy seems to be a copy of the vintage catalogue jacket...and Freewheelers...I really think more makers should start making them. It's also my personal preference that the lapel angle and size on most of the above are not capturing the catalogue feel

Yes terry your photos aren't posting

No makers label. Just wool lining with a genuine horsehide label.

Wait, wait - the belt doesn't have pin holes?

Here's the Flat Head Delraiser HH jacket that I briefly owned. It was probably the most well made jacket I ever handled. And a great lining! I really liked it, but finally decided it was just a little bit too cool for me. Of course, now I miss it..

You’re are right about the Delraiser! I tried one on at Self-edge, and was blown away.

The Norshor NS1 is a beautiful jacket!

The cross zip imho is the undeniable “king of all jackets”. I love them to death. There really is nothing more bad ass than a cross zip. I’ve had a few but the real treasure trove belongs to @Mysteryo (I believe he has hundreds?).
Not wearing them much myself these days but they are the coolest. No question about it.

Haha, i have « only » about 70 jackets, 60 of which are cross zips.

That gray E should be in my closet. Another one that slipped through my fingers on eBay.

Well to be fair, I think I sniped it. It was a really cool jacket. Went to Germany for a tidy sum though. The rare spotted owl that actually made me some scratch.

Some days all of them, others none at all.

Among those I sold and returned ( LW j23, Vanson hardcore, model e, dominator), Kadoya is really special. (8.8 lbs)

No think about it, you sniped the crap out of it lol.

I think I’m going to call Constantine tomorrow.
