Both these videos were fun and interesting to watch. I wish there were more videos on the Lounge, they add a whole new dimension to photos. Plus, it's kinda fun to meet the guy behind the jackets. Thanks for taking the time to share your jackets and knowledge with us, TM.

Thanks, I appreciate your comments. I'm going to post another on Bill Kelso jackets. The light in my "studio" was good today. I have enjoyed doing them and enjoy watching them myself. I need to get my camera set up adjusted.

I've posted a lot of fit videos here but not done anything with voice over. It is more like meeting someone. Nice remark.

Really love these! What BobJ said, adds a whole new dimension and tells me infinitely more about these jackets. I've always wondered what kind of leather exactly is the Sears or Buco made of. Now I know.

Good, that is what is about. getting as close to hands on. all of those are very different jackets.

I just told my wife we are skipping a movie this evening because I have already watched multiple movies on TFL. Thanks for the free entertainment Terry.

Wonder who gave the negative review. XD

Terry, I don't agree that you shouldn't be wearing these beautiful MC jackets just because you don't ride. You could get a bike and ride, anyone can, it's not such a big deal - and TBH, nowadays, the actual motorcyclists tend to actually avoid the style as it has first been hijacked by the Metalheads and Punks, and later on by a... 'persons who follows the latest trends and fashions, especially those regarded as being outside the cultural mainstream'.

I still cannot decide what's the best place for the sleeve zippers to be. I know what's the coolest. The top of the sleeve is the most convenient as it never gets in the way, however, that way the zipper is entirely exposed to the elements.

Sorry, watching the video again and just touching some random points.

Very cool idea indeed. I've had a couple Sears/ Herc jackets but none as pristine as yours. I believe the sport clad label was JC Penny's answer to the Sears Herc line but I'm not 100% sure. These videos are fun to watch and informative. Thx for sharing!

I'll post some fit videos I already have. I'll do a new one for the Buco.

Thought I had more vids.

Late 50s Steerhide Buco PB-27

Thank you for the videos. I had seen the previous ones on youtube and the talk makes it even more interesting, more friendly.

Thanks, I enjoy doing them. I have to be aware of wind noise outside. I've got others to do.

I conditioned the Buco with Vaseline. My first time using. Like it.

The Vaseline did the trick . . . leather looks great.

Yes an improvement. It needed some therapy! I've used Pecards and Fiebing's Aussie conditioner from Tandy. I liked the Fiebing's better than Picard, but the Vaseline works better to me.

Every jacket/leather responds a bit differently. On this steerhide Buco it was much less oily and set quicker. It is also available down the street for cheap!

Yep, since JC recommended it, that's what I've been using. Saves money too. It will literally go away in a few days. No feeling greasy, etc. like one might expect. I did, and it's not like that.

Loving these videos Terry. Keep them coming. On a serious note, is your collection insured?
