Vintage Outerwear: Threads of the Past

[Gypsymoth82]

@Leigh H man the hits keep coming for you! That piece has a beautiful cut.

This one has lots of Class.

Unknown 30's Aviator D Pocket, I think it's goat.

I've seen similar d pockets from block built?

I probably paid too much for this but i thought what the hell. I know you don't see these very often for sale and it was in my size.

The leather feels amazing.

@Leigh H it looks West Coast to me. The collar, and the Zipper flap piece on the right side (of the wearer) especially. Langlitz, Cal, StarGlove all seem to have the main zip largely obscured by that extra piece when zipped.

Condition is fabulous too eh? That liner looks like its in great shape.

@Leigh H has quietly put together a vintage collection that is matched by but a few. It is a pleasure to follow.

Only downside is one sleeve zip has detached but the hardware still looks good, but i think this isn't an easy fix.

Big thanks to @Marc mndt for sharing it.

You did well. I would pay well for such a jacket So at least it has some place to go If you tire of it.

Has the main zip been changed? Appears to be. The Talon ball and chain always say top $ to me. You can Don't see them very often because They were Expensive .

Looks like the
The same fine steerhide that other Bay area makers were using Like HL Block, Ralphs-Pugh.

It is amazing and unique.

The Lining looks familiar, The whole jacket looks familiar! Not sure of the maker at this point.

It doesn't make much difference Still a beauty

Just keeps getting better. Throat latch very 30s. Yes, this looks like rich California steerhide.

I'm considering Seattle Woolen as a maker too

This is a RP jacket on ebay with a label.

Here is the fancy 3 panel back that was started by the Iconic Sears Hercules.

Same buttons

This Californian is from the late 30s (not currently in my possession) and has zip sleeves, which I've always found odd for this style in this era.

Buttersworth Vintage on etsy has a jacket just like this for sale right now (though for a pretty crazy price).

I’ve found one Ralph Pugh that has zipped sleeves via https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/ralphs-pugh-company.92979/

I couldn't find the police jacket thread so I'll post this here. Monarch MC Police Jacket:

This jacket was stuck with the proxy service I use for like 2 months. It's here now but it doesn't fit...

Will probably be on Classifieds in the next few days.

So now I know where it went. Is it too big on you?

Thanks! I've searched around a bit and I haven't found anything like it online.

Yes, I usually wear a 38 and this is labelled a 42 but fits more like a 44.

 

[JMax]

@cashcheck Did i hear 44? If you do decide to sell please keep me in mind. Gracias.
