The Legendary DURABLE (Wild One) Jacket

[Claudio Pellerito]

Hey guys
Just received a jacket which i really believe to be a durable one star, regarding measurements i think it is a size 42
I spent almost 3 hours cleaning it, still i need to do the lining
Some pictures :

Hello! Do you sell it?

 

[Claudio Pellerito]

Thanks, yeah i am very happy with the results, i was worried about the folds all over the jacket, i was watching tutorials on how to make them disappear so i would be ready when jacket arrived, but nothing seemed convincing...
So i was not expecting some saddle soap and hot water to make them disappear so easily, it is not perfect but good enough imo
Here is a before/after on the sleeves :

Also i'm not sure i will have the lining replaced, i don't like the idea, but i will have fixed for sure
The fit is okay, would be better if i was 5cm taller but can't do much about that :/

You paid a good amount for that and I hope you didn’t replace the lining! Let me know if you sell it

Just unboxed this Durable. I believe this is the Brando version with the Talon zipper. The lining has been changed but you can still make out a bit of the red from the original.

Thanks for the confirmation Jeo! It doesn't fit me unfortunately. Seller's chest measurement was off by 2 inches. It's a size 42 maybe 44 if I had to guess.

I’ve handled this exact jacket personally, it is easily recognizable based on the lining replacement and the badge patch.

Have to say, the leather on this one is surprisingly THICK, and the jacket feels massive!
Unlike lots of other 50s MC jacket, and even unlike other durable jackets I’ve handled, this one feels more like a Star Glove or heavyweight Cal leather in terms of heftiness, which is mind-blowing.

Love it! The real deal. Thanks for sharing.

Did you have this particular one?

Wow what a small world. The seller I got it from said it bought it off Chuch Street Surplus. Is that where you handled it?

The jacket is really heavy. Very close to a red label Cal I had briefly.

Insane. Thicker Durable with badge holder— one of the few jackets I’d come out of semi-retirement for. Great addition Hieu.

Beautiful jacket. Thank you for sharing. I always thought code 33 referred to the motorcycle jacket design. Clearly that’s not the case. Wonder what it meant.

You weren't the only one. I think Toys McCoy also assumed it was the model number for the motorcycle jacket.

Maybe CODE33 means a material or a quality level.
