Not sure if this is a repo or an original or what but this one picture single handedly inspired my Brown ELMC Roadstar purchase.

There's one just like that on eBay at the moment: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371880075101

I am conservative when it comes to leather. I really don't like jackets with d pockets, angled zips, flaps, lots of snaps and all that gaudy stuff.

Here's my idea of a great look - elegant, understated, nicely worn, trim fit - all around winner. It's one of our fellow loungers, is it Technovox? I apologize if I got that wrong.

Yep. That's one of mine- a classic one pocket Harley "Sporster" horsehide. I love the minimalist look of the vintage Harley cafes!

Here's a jacket I've been chasing lately in one form or another...I think it's a vintage Bates....

Hi , this is my old jacket, the label is so faded I cant make out the brand ,,it looks 50s 60s to me . The pockets go in the opposite way and the zipper has the name 'Lightening' .

Not a Brooks. I think a Taubers or a Cal but not 100% either way.

It's off topic for this thread but for the love of God I need a decent CR!

I would rule out Cal Leather, just based on the ones I've owned...and seen.

just your common run of the mill champ jacket from HD. I know not much but I've had this for 25+ years and it's been a good friend. And I still fit in it!! (barely)

Well come Monday, that won't be a problem any longer.

I'm curious to get my hands on it. I'll send Gwen an email Monday but my gut says Cal. The collar, lining, gussets and the hand stenciled size tag seem pretty solid as evidence of a Cal. The back design is not the typical for them tho... The more I look at the listing pics the more I think it's not a Taubers. It'll be fun to track it down. Meanwhile this HH early Excelled exists:
