1950s chp taubers. I can't believe the condition of this jacket. Someone bought this and hung it in the closet. I'm not kidding when I say I'm going to be breaking this in! Wow

Best looking Taubers CHP I have seen. I recently purchased what I believe to be a Taubers cross-zip that took the same path straight to a closet. Though mine is a decade or two younger. Glad you decided to keep this one, it’s special man.

Came with mouton snap on collar also. The only thing is it only has one snap on the cuffs. I had one very similar that jon builder bought an it had two snaps on the cuffs. This is the older model.

All I know is it came from Australia and no body broke it in. It was an Ebay find an I had to get the seller to change his mind about international shipping. I will ask him what he knows, I'm interested also

So the seller said he bought it from a thrift store about 10 years ago, it never fit him so in to the closet it went. He knew it came from the states but didn't know when or who brought it.

Interesting, and quite amazing for you to essentially have a "new" 70 year old jacket there!

Certainly glad you have it, it will get proper treatment and appreciate indeed

Heavy rain and cold outside (at 12C) this morning, so putting on the brakeman before going to work.

The hide is amazing!
Mate black with lots of grain! Has been stored since 1994 in trunk full of thrift, I guess. I love the hide and the cut. This jacket definitely needs some love.

Dang man I’ve NEVER seen a HH Taubers that clean! That’s incredible. Wow! Fit is spot on too. Well done!

Although the collar points look more in line with a Brakeman, with those pocket flaps, that’s surely a Journeyman?

Needs some wear,

Yeah it's a modified version, I like the flapped pocket as I don't have to worry if my commute pass or other little things would fall off if I take off the jacket. Admittedly, the original version looks really nice too.

Headed to Michigan for one last hoorah on the beach. It’s unseasonably cool which is kind of a drag but this Schott super 70’s sex disco hard hat cowboy jacket is coming along. Won’t need it today but I suspect the temps tonight will feel chilly.

That makes sense. Good idea - I have both and while I prefer the Brakeman collar, I’m particularly partial to the pocket flaps of the Journeyman.

LW's second grade stuff looks much better than many hides out there!

Killer back on that LW! Awesome score. Definite keeper.

Beautiful!

This one has a bit more wear. Around the same time frame.
