Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

The temptation quickly dissipates once you see the prices.

And the sizing too, at least for me. But still.

Sorry guys, I should have scrolled down the pics before posting. The value of this jacket for me, with the holes, is about fifty bucks (maybe).

A bit over a grand, but if I had that liquidity right now I would jump on this sooo faaaast

 

[Observe]

I asked for measurements, let's see how that goes. May need to send flowers and a basket of muffins to entice the seller into providing basic information about their wares.

So I actually got incredibly detailed measurements from this seller, who was quite responsive to me. Super, super nice guy too. I nabbed this for $225 USD which I think is a great deal.

So much for the end of my CHP quest, but this basically new jacket was too good to pass up for me. Been wanting to check out JL for a while now too.

Nice but the price is nutty. If you're a little smaller there's another one ending tonight, sitting at two bills: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2560020477...TmXvBxeLjODUbQOk6RZcTn2A==|tkp:Bk9SR9rE7q7dYQ

I’m the posting for the Brown jacket it shows the original receipt….

He paid 730.00 for it, brand new, just 3 years ago!
Sheesh… I’m glad my money’s are earmarked for my track suit repair…

Until I find “the right” tourist trophy I’m very happy to sport an old Hein Gericke “Paris-Dakar” model.

That Californian I bought is too big for me so if someone is interested, let me know. I can confirm the hole was the extra cuff button, not a hole in the shoulder.

I was going to gatekeep this but damn...

Looks pretty beat up, but just wont die. Good restoration project?

Ha, I didn't see the original receipt. That's bold. I think they might even still have a couple of these in Fall River, it's been a year or so since I've been there, but I remember seeing them. Worth a call.

The Paris Dakar looks good! I've been keeping an eye out for a TT jacket as well, seen some very cool Harros, but they are always on the small side.

The value in the HG Paris Dakar model is hard to beat. Vanson TT makes one great jacket at a much higher price. But it hardly seen on sale.

Is Durable leather company still in business today? French Canadian (Montreal) or English Canadian (Ontario? BC?) company? How did the Canadian jacket make it all the way to the Hollywood movie set in the 50s?

 

[Jasonissm]

For the peacoat lovers, this is a very nice old Hercules, I believe going by tag it should be late 30s, or 40s? (Has the same big tag seen from the classic Hercules jacket)

Shoulder width 45cm Width 52cm Length 76.5cm Sleeve length 57.5cm

On auction for still quite a low price currently: https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/l1084713060

Nothing to do with this jacket---no knock----but for some reason I have a weird thing about jackets with Chest pockets only on the right side. I am so used to a left side chest pocket these right siders just look and feel wrong to me. Prolly because I'm a righty...... When I see these jackets they just look to me like a left handed golf club, or guitar or an English made car........Something just seems off to my eye.....
