    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    More of a find than a deal at $220, but I'm a sucker for old Wrangler stuff so here's a cool looking Suede trucker by them. Although I wish it was in a more Wrangler-ish pattern than a generic type 3. https://www.etsy.com/listing/984412986/vintage-suede-wrangler-70s-jacket?

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Really cool looking set from Cycle Leather Wear. I know nothing about this brand and have found out nothing with some searching. The only result I see on TFL is that @JMax posted a CHP-style jacket they made awhile back. Some cracking on the collar cuff, but besides that, it looks nice. Big...

    Nice looking Fidelity police jacket, size 38, $100 shipped plus tax. Has anyone handled their police stuff? I’ve only had their cafe racers...

    $50 horsehide jacket, a-2 style. Would want to see the back to assess potential cracking. There’s some on the neck, but not excessive considering the price.

    Bates Leathers

    Seems like they're trying to keep the heritage of the brand alive. Although I've seen some of their modern stuff and not been super impressed with the hide. Glad they mentioned the Bones jacket. Everyone always associates it with Vanson since they capitalized on it, but Bates is the original...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Here is another Bates set, just recently listed and only $225 shipped. Smaller sizes though. https://www.ebay.com/itm/324613911013?hash=item4b947f31e5:g:xR0AAOSwLGpgTjN- I've been trying to explore colors outside of just black leather and I've really loved a lot of these vintage Bates racing...

    The ultimative Denim Trouser Thread?

    Have you looked into Naked & Famous? They have a fit called the strong guy which is a high rise, wide, straight cut pair that doesn't taper much, if at all. The opening measurement on this pair seem to start at 10", unless you're a smaller size like 28 or 29. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure the...

    Yeah, it's one big panel. Sorta like this, although this jacket is a Fidelity. The Beck / Schott jackets I was referring to, which is probably similar to what you have, have a kidney panel like this.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    This was supposed to be a flip, but after already letting an awesome Bates get away for way too cheap, I think I'm going to keep this one around. I think it's a more recent jacket, but the condition is pretty much mint.

    Man, that's so cool. Too bad it's basically inevitable it's going to go past my budget for jackets.

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    I found a cafe racer I could have sworn was Beck / Schott, but the back is a one piece design. Haven't been able to find any Beck cafe racers online with the one piece. Did they ever do this? If not, is there another brand that did the two chest pocket, two collar pocket, with a one piece back...

    Image Leathers contracted out many of their jackets, and this one is probably no exception. I think last time one of their jackets was posted here, we said early Golden Bear or possibly even JL. But this style is completely different, so likely another maker is possible as well.

    Am I remembering incorrectly, or is it difficult / impossible to buy from the European Vinted site if you're based somewhere non-EU and vice versa?

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    The Beck jacket / pants came in today. No dice. The pants have truly awesome vintage steerhide, but the waist (tagged 34) is too large for me and it's a bit too much to simply belt up. The jacket just fits...weird. It's too large, but when I zip it up, the chest bulges out despite the jacket...

    Applying Obenauf's Boot Preservative to a leather jacket

    I have a similar experience. Well, sorta...I bought an old Schott rancher jacket, basically a western bomber design, that was cracked all over and had some sort of weird damage to the leather for $30. Having no experience with leather jackets, I decided to fix the cracks by covering the jacket...

    Why Should I Buy A Vanson?

    Reports of Vanson's death have been greatly exaggerated. Well, maybe. I haven't actually bought any of their new stuff. Or their old stuff. I don't usually buy new jackets! Maybe I would if I knew my jacket would look like @Peter Mackin's. But my synthesis of the numerous posts on the topic of...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Just bought this. I'm fairly sure the jacket is also Beck / Schott. Doesn't look as cool as some of their really awesome grain CRs, but still nice. I've heard these fit a bit weird, so if it doesn't work that well for me, I can move it to another member here rather than flipping.

    Gonna hold off. I agree the cuff situation wouldn't be that big of a deal, especially with the price. But it just wouldn't get worn. I have similar jackets already. Next on my list is a nice CR!

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/353467375626? $75 Vanson, size 36. Really tempted to just get it for myself. One of the cuffs has pretty major damage, but.....it's the cuff of a jacket. Dealbreaker or nah?

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Yep, those measurements are probably off. I had a size 38 and the taper was a bit too much for me, despite the p2p and shoulders being fine. The fact that this seller has no taper indicated in the waist and p2p is odd.
