@Imuricecreamman and @JMax -- two completely different jackets and each great in its own way. Congrats.
This is how far I Will go with this. A little coat of beeswax and rigorous horsehair brushing. This jacket needed some moisture and I think this keeps most of the beautiful patina intact. View attachment 244860
Marvelous. As a friend i must tell you well done on getting those crown zips, but be advised other zippers will be a let down from now on an they will bring no satisfaction.LW Leathertogs B. Will get fit pics up when I take it for a ride. I am in b-ball shorts and a tank top. The pattern is definitely slim and close to body, unlike any other of my LWs. Stuart said it would be so. This thing is unbelievable. Perfect. I’m dancing on the ceiling gents.

Yeah, I haven't seen this label on other jackets either. The zipper has "Talon" down the middle of the stop so I guess that dates it to mid to late 40's. The side-gatherers don't seem as substantial as the ones I've seen on similar jackets, but I guess that could be era-dependent. I'm curious about the vented back though. Haven't seen many of those around.Another nice vintage find! I have never seen this particular Penny's label. The gathered sides and the squared piping on the pockets show up in the mid/late 40s. This design is very popular through out the 50s.
This is a Sears Hercules style with the lower side adjustments and 50s quilt lining.
It's a neat feature and it suits the lighter hide and lining really well. It's amazingly comfortable.Somewhere I learned that California Sportswear Company used this technique. I see this in other jackets from the 30s with the light lining and variety of labels. Talon down the middle of the stop is 40s. Probably post war.
wery nice jacket . Have haracter and big historyJust in time for leather weather. View attachment 244867
Straight out of the box, only 5 minutes of wear to check the sizing.
The leather is i think my favourite up to date, i am pretty sure it is thicker than my previous 2 LW, and is loaded with grain and stretch marks, just what i like!
Fit is perfect, the change to the pattern came out great, fit pics still to come in a couple weeks once it is broken in.
Did you ask for deleting the belt loops? What kind of change of pattern did you ask for? Very handsome jacket!
^ Now that's a proper zip. Can you get that gauge zipper with Aero horsehide jackets, or just LW?
