I bought some boots from that store in the 80s. The leather scene in the neighborhood was lively.

I'm surprised nobody has bought this yet - it's a nice looking jacket at a great price.

In all seriousness, if your Hard-On was a little bigger and longer, I'd have bought it myself.

That's the spirit!!!!!!!!!!

That's a nice looking jacket. Sure looks like a horsehide to me. Jonesy, was that a retailer? Or did they produce stuff? I ask because that quilted liner makes so much sense here, we're having a cold summer in the SF Bay Area right now.

fwiw, looks like it was a short-lived business. A 20-second internet search on the address indicates they got their business license in 1978 and had it suspended in 1980. No matter, nice jacket!

GLWS. If it fit like a 44, I'd buy it.

Yep, very nice jacket!

Polk street San Fran is down the road from Johnson. This brand is actually called hard on... maybe they should use my drawing of a rooster at 8 years old as the mascot. good luck with the sale!

Given the name and the Polk St location I suspect that this company had a very particular clientele in mind!

Cool jacket! When I first moved to SF I lived on Hyde St, just around the corner from this place. The neighborhood had really gone down by then, but it's changed a lot with the high rents.
