Got this beauty from one of the forum members. Super happy with my new Buco J-24 and also the mid weight flannel from the Flat Head.

Yes, as soon as I put it on, I was like… wow! They nailed it! This is a size 40

@Merv Did you size up? i'm usually 42 but i had to size up to 44.

Unlabeled time-capsule mystery jacket came in yesterday from eBay. Zips and snaps (and maybe the collar as well) point to 1940s, but the jacket feels like it was made yesterday. Very little, if any, wear over the last 80 years. Lining is pristine, neck area untouched.... I am flabbergasted, because this thing feels like a Natal or Branded (heavy, heavy steerhide), but all the hardware and the snap cuffs point 1940s. I will start a separate thread on it because I'd love some help dating/placing it from you guys.

Superb. I wish it was a L. I would have bought it the second day saw it on eBay.

The damn thing has 21.5" P2P and 17" hem... I need to work on my stomach area, lol.

 

[Al 916]

Nice. I’ve bought a few vtg police jackets that had the 17” or so hem with a 23”+ P2P. It’s hard to picture someone maintaining that build for extended periods of time. Lol. I’d need surgery to fit into something like that. I try to remember to ask for the bottom hem but sometimes I forget.

During the day it was too warm for a leather jacket.

Yesterday.

Great fit as always. Any chance you can post a pic with the jacket zipped?

Hey friends. Been a little absent lately, so here’s a catching up post. Still wearing the new Langlitz quite a bit, but making time for others as jacket season winds down. Langlitz Columbia, Johnson Leathers x2, Vanson Comet

Very rarely zip it up tbh

Wore the sale page (thin Vicenza) Highwayman all week this week. Creases like stiff denim. The front is still smooth, not a lot of grains. The back has more grains, probably from sitting in the car and the tight waist cinch.

I've been taking jackets picture/videos all day. This Bill Kelso Duke was hanging there. Took it down and wore it around.

This Duke is made in the infamous Victory Horsehide of a few years back. I bought this jacket here. I wore it to work, just wore it until I retired.

It is Beautiful leather and still smells wonderful. I have never had a leather like this. The Duke in any leather is a nice jacket.
