Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

They are the same jacket, Kurland/star sportswear was a contractor for Sportclad (JC Penney)

I DID NOT know this.........very interesting historical tid-bit............. I wonder how long Kurland/Star made Sportclads?? You Kurland's more often than Sportclads but not by that much. Sportclads are sought after and pricey while Kurlands are largely ignored and low priced.

It's cow. But still a good deal.

Never heard of Cheverny before. Deerskin, and a woman's by the proportions, looks like. A bit nicked up, but very cool if fringe is your lady's thing. $200 + shipping.

I pulled the trigger on this one.
Lancers are some of my favorites and I've been long intrigued by this pattern, before identifying it was an australian model. It seems that it was manufactured by at least 3 companies, A&P (the one pictured), Mars Leathers, and another one, I forgot the name... From Melbourne.
I'll give you my review when I receive this jacket.

Best!

Nice pick up, wrong size for me or I’d have had a punt. It did look like three letters starting with A on the label with Melbourne being where it was made... but I couldn’t make it out! Good deciphering/knowledge on your part!

I look forward to the review, it looks top quality and the full on lancer pattern is very interesting.

This one is a nice and rare Kurland D-Pocket jacket!
Needs a little loving and care!
Nice find!

Lovely, I really like the blue plaid lining too. Not very clear photos, but it looks like it may have a crown (or coats and Clark, depending on branding used) main zip judging by the teeth shape and the zip box... but apparently no puller. If the male pin is still there and functional and the zip otherwise OK it should be possible to source a puller with patience and fit it... Not my size else I might be tempted to take on this project, would be a great jacket with some work and at least it’s pretty cheap to buy to help defray the restoration costs...

edit: sadly, on zooming in on the photos, it’s clear the zip is done. The box is loose from the rest of the track plus there’s a missing tooth on the other track. So it will need a whole new zipper found and fitted. Ah well, still a lovely jacket at a good enough price to make refurb doable for someone.

Here is my Mars Jacket. They call it the Brando. Awesome kangaroo hide.

edit: This jacket is an older Mars. The newer Brando is a perfecto-style, as the name suggests. This is the Brando from a much older catalogue.

Here is the First Edition Sportclad by Kurland 1947. Each I've seen is a Jewel.

Just wanted to pop in and say thank you for also dropping ladies' jackets into this thread! I'm not one for fringe, but I sure enjoy it when I click on a link for womens' gear. Much appreciated.

The fading on this looks really good. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-60...Coat-Scovill-Gripper-Zipper-Rare/283533208328

Smaller size and I'm not sure it's a deal, but nice to look at.

Score of the year so far? I don't need it, but someone does...

Thedi 100+mph Cafe Racer Leather Jacket - Men's Size L - Authentic - Used | eBay

 

[yellowfever]

Don’t know if this is a find or a deal, interested in what others think. I’ve heard of Sierra as a respected maker of vintage jackets, didn’t know they we’re still going, but this is clearly fairly new/modern, maybe just a revival of an old name? But it’s USA made, looks like a solid heavy jacket and has really good zip venting front and rear for use riding and still got the snap in liner too... looks in immaculate condition. It’s not my size (it’s 44) and I hardly need another riding jacket in any case, but might be of interest to someone? And I’d be interested in the collective knowledge/wisdom on Sierra...

Too bad it has those ribbed side panels.

Too bad it has those ribbed side panels.

yeah, is a little too flashy for me overall, otherwise it would have been bought

Gerome from Spain Large DR $65 BIN - According to their website, they have been making leather jackets in Spain since 1966. Would be interested to learn if anybody is familiar with them.

Seller is one of those Japanese drop-shippers, so I'm sure you can find the original listing on Buyee. Too lazy to look myself.
