Any thoughts on what this is? Who made it?

Just saw this - but looks like it got picked up.
Anyway it’s a unique pocket config - I’ve only seen it on Annex Apparel.

Thought it might be Annex. I think that’s a good call.

Look at the leather on this one, amazing! The size in quite small, for a lady? Looks like new, with high quality leather from the 1930s.

Beautiful Star Glove. Oh my! With the original collar, Crown zippers, badge holder. Looks to be in fine condition with quality horsehide. It appears to have had little use. Wonder if there is a back story. Bigger size too. Quite a jacket that seems fairly priced.

Great find. However for a 25” p2p, the 19” shoulder-to-shoulder seems excessively small.

That Lost Worlds Trojan with the Shearling Lining makes me want to drop 20 lbs.. if this was a size larger, it would be my first 1000 USD+ leather jacket purchase without a second of hesitation. The leather on it looks fantastic.

Agreed. Hard to tell how well the seller knows how to get the proper shoulder to shoulder...

Who grabbed it? It's already sold...

If someone here did and it does not fit, I would be highly interested.

It was not me Randy. Not surprised it is gone, too nice to sit around.

Shearling is sadly a hard pass for me. Impossible in socal temps.

An older model Fine Creek CR Size 36. At approximately $650 USD this seems a good deal, no?

Lost World's Size 38 at approximately $340 USD this is a helluva deal - leather looks good and seller doesn't note any damage. Since it's on Mercari might be worth contacting the seller regarding measurements - chest seems a bit small for a 38.

Does anyone know who manufactures jackets for Indian Motorcycles?

I ask because this is a Size 36 in steer hide that looks really nice. In one of the rear photos it looks like the right adjuster tab has been unbuckled but everything seems to be there - worth asking the seller about it and to provide measurements.

At approximately $110 USD they're giving this one away.

Now discontinued (I believe) Flathead Double Rider WRJ-51 with side ties and belt loops, size 38. At approximately $670 USD this is basically one third the price of a new fn-lj-hw004.

I dig it because it's different than what's currently available - someone should jump on this.

Definitely not a deal at approximately $3,050 USD but it's cool to see what's being described as an original 1950s HD Cycle Champ.

Regarding the recently posted LW ones:
Curb your expectations if you're hoping to get one of the legendary heavyweight LW jackets - the ones from JP tend to have much thinner and lower grade (?) leather. This has been discussed on TFL multiple times but it's still worth mentioning.

This is hilarious for 3k jacket.
