Vintage "Snake Plissken" horsehide

[Pegasus jackets]

Looks like a winner and a pretty close one for the "Plissken". Notice the torn pocket on the third pic. A bit of a bummer but definitely repairable. You are absolutely right; large vintage sizes are hard to find. Its also doubly hard to find vintage in mint condition. Good luck on your quest for that perfect jacket. I certainly know the feeling. I set out on that same quest many years ago and it ended with me making my own ;-)

Does anyone know what decade this Talon is from? Many thanks.

I've been looking for a Snake Plissken Jacket as well.

I found a jacket with a similar patina that fits me really well, but the collar is different. It looks more like the 1930's James Bond Skyfall Jacket.

I saw this bootlegger on Ebay. It looks awesome, but I know it's not going to fit me right. Maybe it will fit someone on here

Have you checked out Bill Kelso's "The Duke"? Might be just what you're looking for. BTW, that dealer, "Penny-bizarre," comes up with some lovely stuff. Has anyone bought from him?

That Duke looks just fabulous. Really into that one.

No matter what anyone - or BK - says, anything from BK is nothing less than breathtaking. The jacket is beautiful but just look at that leather!

The Victory HH on this jacket is heavy but supple. I also have a BK in Liberty HH. Very different leathers. I don't know if they are using the Victory HH or if is available. BK jackets are indeed nice. I got a notice about a discount sale for the next couple of days. I like the Wingman they have on their facebook page, but have too many jackets now.

I would love a button up Duke in the Victory hide, but I think you're right that it's no longer available.

Yes the button up is a nice jacket. No Victory. I had not seen it mentioned so wasn't sure.

not 100%, but it's been a very long times once I've heard any mention of anything but the Liberty stuff.
