70's Lee Trucker I bought cheap on the local Marketplace. I think it's my favorite denim jacket so far. I paired it with some double knee Prison Blues my wife got me as a Birthday gift. They are pretty loose fitting compared to what I normally wear but they are growing on me View attachment 672965

Nice jacket. I grew up wearing Lee Riders. It’s almost impossible to find them these days.

If you come across a vintage denim jacket with internal pockets, let me know. I know many (if not all) of them don't have internal pockets. But I need one for my wallet.

In my younger days, I removed a back pocket from an old pair of jeans, and sewed it into the left inside of my jean jacket. It was quite handy—great for sneaking beer out of the bar. Lol.

I saw this ornate, early and well-worn Buco jacket at the Del Mar Custom Motorcycle Expo yesterday!!! The rounded collar without snaps looked to be original but really threw me... any ideas on year/model?

Looks like a J-72 that had the fixed mouton collar replaced with a really poorly done leather collar. The J-72 was produced for one year in 1952 btw.

New to me Vanson C2. I am pretty sure this is the old comp weight hide, because if it ain't, I don't know what is.... Thick, like Cals, with rolls on the sleeves. I am over the moon. Been looking, because everyone needs a C2...

I don't have that kind of need, but an inside pocket would be appreciated.
Even if I don't put it on the inside, you inspired me to take the pocket off of an old pair of jeans and see what I can come up with.
I can get the job done with a basic saddle stitch.
