Johnson Leather San Francisco. Everybody loves a Leather trucker. A style that can be addictive. This jacket is from the early 80s, I was told.
The Bay Area was home to many of the best makers in the Golden Years. Johnson Leather maintains that heritage
A very nice jacket with comfortable...
No longer the "patch Pocket". I owned 3 of these, I believe you owned one? I just mailed off one today. I'm keeping one that is quite clean too, but has only a CSC horsehide tag.

I've sold several of my best. Another of the best is going across the seas tomorrow.
There are plenty left. I will be...

I would say this one is early 50s. Does not have the corduroy hem often seen in their catalog jacckets.
Everything works and the leather is in...
I bought this jacket from Stu at Lost Worlds probably 12 years ago. I loved the vintage Test he pictured. He ask how heavy and I had no idea what weight was, so he said "HighTest". This was the old reference to "High Test" gasoline. The jacket weights 8 pounds and the hide is very thick. I...
