Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

[JMax]

Someone got a deal on this one! Was it anyone here?

Probably could be re-lined by Dean, and some Urad on the leather would clean it right up.

Looks like an older one too. Even better.

Cool, old, and well battered California Sportswear Half Belt. Measurements are somewhat.......lacking (shocker!!!) -- Cheap opening bid.

Interesting/Confusing (to me) main zipper. LOOKS LIKE a Talon Base. I know the prewar Talons have some V markings on the pull but I don't know if this is one of those. @tmitchell59 and @photo2u can better inform on this.
Cuffs make me think its pretty old (40s??).

Listing says horsehide and it COULD be old HH. But it also has sort of a Capeskin/Calf/Nappa like graining. Again, others perhaps can ID this hide if it isn't horse.

That is a WWII pull with a pot metal sunrise box. Looks like worn out Cape Skin.

Seller has others too. Thoughts on the JL?

My buddy did bid on this jacket. But I think a reseller took it. It would have been nice if a member here pick it up.

JL’s OTR offerings visually don’t do it for me. But, I have owned a 2 or 3, great jackets. I would go for a padded x-zip for the right price and measurements. If this fits you won’t be disappointed.

I think the real win on this one would be how it looks in 10-15 years.

Why? The jacket looks great on you.

Thanks, Probably will regret it but have several jackets that I have a hard time wearing as it is. Living on the coast of Florida does not lend itself to having many cooler months for jackets.
