I love this thread.

Beautiful jackets, wonderful patina, and I love this thread, too. In fact, it's threads like this that made me sign up in the first place, having inherited some really nice jackets and wanting to share (will post in due course, to those who can appreciate: my spouse thinks I'm nuts, lol), and new ones but can't wait for them to look like this either (again, thanks guys/gals, and can only hope that my new ones, in time, wear this well--NICE!).

It really does. Seems pointless to even own any other jackets if you've got that in your arsenal.

Here is my 60s Lesco. Although it is nothing special, I love the two tone colour and the grain.
Cheers....

Sheepskin crosszip. Most likely French. Some graining, mostly wear and patina.

High Large "Oklahoma City" (now known as Fine Creek "Richmond"). Really not that old or even worn that much, but they treat the leather to age quickly.

Is it a curse or a blessing of our time that everything has to turn fast and faster? Back in the days, a good leather jacket had to look mint when new. If you want a patinated jacket, it should be earned by wearing it....not by just buying it.
