Bronson N-1 View attachment 675236

No idea in re water repellant. Having owned many original N-1's these are quite good repros and great for the price. They are slightly lighter weight material than the real deal or BR, RMC or others high enders. I actually prefer this as the jacket looks/drapes (on me) a little less bulky than its "supposed" to be. Just a bit.

Favorite CHP jacket. Not sure of the actual brand or its age. I reached out to Langlitz asking, and they said it might be Block Bilt.

Nice jacket. If you post some detailed pics of the jacket and ask for ID, I am sure TFL experts will ID it. They are amazing.

Not a bad idea. Here are more. Figured it was Cal Leather, but wasn't sure with the half-sewn epaulets. And appears there was a vertical white tag removed from the liner pocket. Thanks in advance.

I had a cal like that, with epaulettes. Also had an u usual chest zip.
The tag shape might indicate it carried a resellers label rather than the Cal label.

A bit colder outside today so wool is the way to go

This one is from the Japanese brand Jelado.

In fact, I only wore it for the photos to see if I liked this jacket. When the temperature dropped below zero, I decided to switch to my D-1.

Beautiful, soft but tough Belstaff Montana, size 44.now fits perfectly. Removed the armour and thermal liner,it's a perfect spring, summer jacket. View attachment 675270

The old Belstaffs were pure gold! Tempi passati... I still hold on to a "Panther" and a "Gangster", both in the same "Vintage Black" cowhide.

I absolutely love the Panther, I've contempted buying a goldtop patrol,,that's the closest I can get to old school belstaff quality. Do I need one,absolutely not,but still want one

I don't know much about Cals, but I don't think it is a Block Bilt jacket.

I had a steerhide one by Block Bilt, photos here: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/rare-block-bilt-1940s-chp-police-jacket.110722/

The teardrop Talon zip suggests 60s/70s, I think?

Been giving a lot of love to my Vanson’s but once upon a time I considered this Schott 118 my grail jacket. The (full Analine) naked cowhide is very hard to beat in my book.

 

[ton312]

Working on some more appropriate photos. Can’t do tough vintage guy anymore. Morally flexible 70’s guy Might work though.

Bring back the tough guy, this morally flexible 70's guy seems rather fishy

Jokes aside amazing outfit mate

Thank you, I have always been a big fan of a classic pair of Carrera’s.

This look says “I am so cool, that I actively try to play it down…. But it doesn’t work.”

I have teardrops on this one (the first owner said he bought it from 'Star') however I always assumed it was a bit later. I suppose Officers part exchanged their old outgrown or ridden jackets.
