This was an amazing jacket from the 30’s but it was kind of toasty.
Reminds me of this 'Westerner'

@jeo great pics thanks for sharing. Congrats on the buco, great score. We usually see these steerhide ones totally beat up with lots of 'teacore'. This one was well taken care of. So you actually met the first owner?
Is that the recently discussed Freenote x Himel collab I see there? Did you have a chance to try it on?

Theodoros is like ZEUS. He's the god of the leather jackets or something. He must be the coolest man to exist.
Are her jackets affordable? Looks like some nice ones. Where is she from? Does anyone have a list of sellers or know where I could find one?The seller is a super nice lady. She is selling some wonderful jackets including some in the images seen here. I mentioned the forum and she might post some of her jackets here. View attachment 505982

Some of the squares are links to the individual websites.
Here is an early unlabeled cycle queen with a HD belt. This one was near mint. I like HD designs, but am always suspect of their leather quality. I'm guessing several makers did HD jackets through the years and quality changed with each maker. A lot of jackets with HD labels were produced in the 50s.Come to think of it, It was a little bittersweet for me. I saw two jackets that I was snipped on eBay. The HD Cycle King in red/black plaid and a nice cross zip. I was hoping that the jackets went to a collector like myself but as I suspected a reseller. When I saw the actual jacket on a rack, I asked the seller about the jacket. He gave me a story. That is like pouring salt on a wound. However, there were some sellers who did have nice jackets for sale and were part of collections. there was one from a very nice person. Also, I almost pull the trigger on a nice HD cap but the seller was asking way too much over the retail going rate. What is intriguing to me was a particular jacket I saw. It had all the characteristics of the early 50s cycle king. Leather, stitching, and plaid lining. However, the jacket did not have a name tag. For me, this would settle the wondering question of who made the jacket for Harley.
