Nuts. Love it. But you gotta ride. Really. Texas jacket - @JMax , would you wear it?

Was thinking the same thing. Would love to have but it'd be impostorish af. But I'm stealing that collar chain thing for sure.

I would for sure, but would replace the pins with personal ones. Imo, pins and patches should mean something to the wearer. The collar chain and stud work? Kick ass for sure.

Do you not ride @Monitor ? In my head you do, facts notwithstanding.

Used to, decade ago. Had a neat, old Ducati but it began falling apart and I had no funds to keep it on the road so I had to sell it. Too much time went by and I grew afraid of the traffic.

Amazing.

Best one I’ve seen was a smaller camel on the back of a moped. I took pictures. Need to find my old hard drives.

No. I’m on a roll. Can’t get an answer from Aero about the wool I want to order (although I did chat with Ken about it, he doesn’t take the orders). Can’t get an estimate about the halfbelts I want installed on my Monarch, and this seller did not reply to my inquiry about the measurements.

Saving you money and trouble!

I usually associate Marlboro leather with those cheap suede-y bombers you see in thrift stores but they made a number of decent jackets out of Italy and Romania in the 80's and 90's and I think this is one of them. Seller doesn't seem to know where it's made but thinks this is made in the USA. I own one of these in another color that's definitely made in Italy so I'd be surprised if that was true. IMO a little overpriced but I love mine as a daily beater.

I've been looking at this jacket for a while now even tho it wouldn't fit me. But it's good. There's no doubt there.

I don't have any knowledge about the brand, all I know is that they were around since I was a kid & back then mostly older guys would rave about them (though none of them could ever afford it as their prices were always obscene). There used to be a Marlboro store where I live and once I ventured in to ask about a pair of boots but they quoted me a number that would be within Clutch price-range of today which, at the time, was literally unheard of, even in the high-street, designer, couture fashion sense.

Later on, I found a similar pair of boots in a thrift store for $10 and sold them within a day for $150 or so and retrospectively, given the brands reputation in Europe, I could've tripled that.

The boots were great, though and so were some of the jackets of theirs that I handled.

Awesome Blatt. Main zipper looks like it's a replacement, not a good one.

Picked this up earlier - no idea what it is (is or was ‘Citizen‘ the brand?) but it is a patina monster, and as per usual sadly a fair bit too small for me unless I’m going for an authentic early joey ramone fit. I’d like too hang on to it because it looks so cool, but what’s the point Haha
