Thanks. Your jacket and your repairment are great.I want it
Very beautiful. Seems like the hide is thicker and tougher than mine.
The white thread same to the one used in the badge holder was used at the belt loop partly. Wondering the previous owener or repair shop moved the holder. IMO the reason was simply to make the badge easier to see because the holder in the original position seems to be too close to left side.I'm intrigued that at some point the badge-holder seems to have been moved - the signs being the extra set of stitch holes on the shell, and how on the inside you can see it's been done after the jacket was finished, because you can see the thread where it's been stitched through both shell and liner (the way A2s were done when field patches were added by the USAAF boys!). I wonder what the story was there. Did the original owner not like where it sat - did the positioning farther our foul his (I'm assuming) sleeve if he had to draw and extend his arms holding his sidearm? Or was it an aesthetic preference to resite it?

Hope I'm answering correctly...(I'm not a English speaker.)
Not attempting to go for anything vintage or special I really like the 50’s Californian CHP jacket like Tmitchel’s, but I obviously can’t find a good repro or vintage version without breaking the bank over an $800 purchase. I found a pretty fair fitting and looking jacket that’s pretty similar. This looks more of a mall jacket quality than a police jacket, but I was wondering has anybody ever heard of LA ROXX? Are they any good?
LA Roxx is not a quality brand- fashion/ mall quality from the 1990s.Not attempting to go for anything vintage or special I really like the 50’s Californian CHP jacket like Tmitchel’s, but I obviously can’t find a good repro or vintage version without breaking the bank over an $800 purchase.

You can buy a current issue CHP jacket. Just wear it. Break it in.
A Johnson will run approximately $1100, depending on size and hide. It could be closer to $1300How much does a Johnson one in standard leather run? That’s probably the sweet spot.
Yeah I’ve seen their site. Price is too close to (in some cases more than) Vanson to justify personally but if someone has experiences I’d love to read them.For example, this company makes police jackets.
Thank you, this is a great find! I’m already eyeing their CHP AGB jacket and it seems like pretty close ID to the Aero version except for the windflap. I would love to see more companies like this unfortunately if anybody else knows any other company other than Taylor’s I would love to know.For example, this company makes police jackets.
You can find a couple of vintage or second hand versions on Ebay. They actually held up great, but they definitely look a little thin. Here’s an example:Yeah I’ve seen their site.

got a brand new one a couple of years ago direct. same chp style they sell currently, made in Pakistan. all sorts of minor problems, such as unfinished leather edges (on pocket panels) and crease lines across the back as if the sheets of leather had been laying creased. i still have mine that i won't wear, will sell it on ebay mentioning the faults. i wrote up a negative yelp review and some time later someone from the company offered to exchange it...but that was like a year later and i never saw it in time. i'm going to respond to a question regarding Taylorleatherware, which i have several jackets from and which are the high bar for legit police and moto jackets....OOOOOPS, just notice YOU were the guy i was going to tell about Taylor, so here goes.Yeah I’ve seen their site.
